Justin Bieber sued

The news that a woman is suing the Biebster for $9.2m, after apparently being deafened at one of his 2010 concerts, would cause some people to make cheap shots about how lucky she was - as if we would stoop that low.

Instead we shall focus only on the woman's complaint, which is in no way humorous...

The Oregon based woman has filed a suit against Bieber, his label Island Def Jam, live promoter AEG Worldwide and Vulcan Sports and Entertainment.

The problem has apparently arisen during the concert, when the Bieber climbed into a heart-shaped gondola and was pulled out over the crowd and according to her claim he "enticed the crowd into a frenzy of screams by continuously waving his arms in a quick and upward motion." It adds "The gondola that Justin Bieber was suspended in acted as a sound conductor, creating a sound blast that permanently damaged both of my ears," she says.

Now, the woman says she suffers from "hearing loss, severe tinnitus and hyperacusis (an oversensitivity to certain frequency ranges of sound) in both ears."

Now obviously, no one would wish to belittle any discomfort she may be in, but it may be difficult for some people not to conclude - that going to a Bieber concert and complaining about girls screaming, is a little bit like climbing into a lions cage, and complaining when you get bitten.
