If you somehow hadn’t reached full Justin Bieber saturation yet, the Biebs will be making an appearance at the Superbowl, starring in a commercial with rocker Ozzy Osbourne for Best Buy. Yes, you read that correctly—according to the Daily Mail, the electronics retailer paid over $1 million (U.S.) for Stratford’s finest to appear in its ad.
Co-star Ozzy is an inspired choice considering his recent appearance on the talk show A Different Spin where, when asked if he listened to the teen pop star’s music, Ozzy remarked (as only Ozzy could), “Who the f*@! is Justin Bieber?” We’d like to know what rock he’s been hiding under so we can join him from time to time. That said, the commercial looks semi-awesome in a kind of ridiculous, over-the-top, only-during-the-Superbowl kind of way: Ozzy and Bieber dress in Tron-style suits hawking electronic gizmos in a futuristic setting. We hope it reaches the same highs as last year’s Snickers commercial starring Betty White playing football.
