Justin Bieber's song "Baby" is the most viewed video on YouTube. But a rumor is spreading on the blogosphere that it's in danger of being deleted from the video site. Despite its nearly 600 million views, the video has 1.5 million "dislikes," or negative scores, compared to just 750,000 "likes." Even though YouTube tweeted that "Baby" wasn't going anywhere, rumors spread that YouTube algorithms can delete videos based on bad ratings. Worried Bieber fans (aka Beliebers) launched an online campaign to save their baby. They inundated the video's YouTube page with comments (one fan wrote "like this video" 24 times). On Twitter, Beliebers used the hashtag #dontdeletebaby as an online petition of sorts to save the video from being deleted (to repeat: YouTube said that's not happening). This isn't the first time Beliebers have overreacted online. Just two weeks ago, throngs of Bieber fans threatened a person who they thought attacked the pop star at a New York event. It turns out the "suspect" was an undercover cop who was protecting the singer.
