Block Justin Bieber tool launched

Frustrated surfers sick of seeing Justin Bieber on the web can now block out any mention of him using the Shaved Bieber application.

Shaved Bieber is a browser tool which covers up every mention of the words 'Justin Bieber' and 'Bieber' along with photos that have 'Bieber' in the file name.

It was developed by web designer Greg Leuch and can also be downloaded as a Firefox add-on.

Justin Bieber is a teenage pop singer who shot to fame last year after his mum put videos of him singing on YouTube.

Photos of the Canadian star were recently used as bait as part of a phishing scam on Facebook along with pictures of Cheryl Cole.
