Justin Bieber: Soil from his hometown put on Ebay for $39.99
Justin Bieber’s hometown soil is on sale on Ebay. Needless to say, Twitter is having a field day.
Belieb it or not, someone is willing to pay for a jar of soil collected from Justin Bieber's hometown, because, well, it is from Justin Bieber's hometown.
An enterprising Ebay seller has filled a jar with soil from Stratford, Canada, the birthplace of Justin Bieber and is selling it on Ebay for $39.99.

CBC News said the seller claimed that the dirt had been "sanitized" and ready to ship anywhere in the world.
Twitter has been rather unkind to the idea.
The seller, named "thatsridonculous," certainly lives up to their name.
This is not the first bizarre Biebermania on Ebay.
CBS reported that Bieber sold his hair last year on the site for over $40,000.
