This Is Why Justin Bieber’s New Album Is Banned In The Middle East

Justin's album cover is just a bit too racy for the Middle Easterner's - and now his team has to come up with something a little less, umm, offensive.

It’s quite difficult to be the ultimate symbol of globalisation, yet try attract audiences in countries that are a lot more conservative. So when Justin Bieber’s new album was launched, the chosen cover didn’t exactly fly with the cats over in the Middle East.

Not only was Justin topless, but there were pretty obvious symbols of christianity (and Jesus Christ) that just don’t go down well – namely, the cross tattoo on his chest.

Apparently, Bieber’s team are now rushing to shoot an alternative cover.
