Are you in the market to buy some of Justin Bieber’s DNA?

No. Not really. You think the concept is harebrained, crass, and dishonest?

Fine, but if you can get past that, then look no further than the Justin Bieber DNA pendant that a Canadian company called celebritygene.com is selling.

According to the “head DNA scientist” of the above mentioned company, Ryan Lehto:

“We obtained his hair DNA due to popular demand and because we like that he is Canadian and how he went from YouTube to an international superstar!”

Excuse the editorial here, but I’m sure the company could care less that Bieber is a fellow Canadian.

First of all, the company is simply using an over-exploited teen’s image to pull on the heart strings of little girls everywhere for their own personal financial gain. Secondly, the Beebs isn’t the most accessible teenager around. Just how did this company obtain his hair? Do we even want to know? Thirdly, the pendant is selling for a cool $120. How on earth did they arrive at such a ludicrous figure? Do they have no sense of what other cheap, worthless crap retails for these days? Maybe three easy payments of $9.99, sure but 120 bucks… That’s a bit rich.

According to the company, “each DNA pendant will come with a silver box chain and a certificate of authenticity.”

Problem solved: I was slightly worried that innocent, albeit slightly naive, little girls were about to get duped out of their hard-earned allowances. But last time I checked, a certificate of authenticity from celebritygene.com is all but infallible. I mean, come on, look at their website, it clearly screams credibility. They have stock photos posted of beakers, test-tubes, and everything.

Ugh…

The company also claims to have DNA pendant’s from Princess Diana, Elvis, and probably Father Christmas, that is, if you’re willing to pay good money for it.
