Some things on the Earth invite special scrutiny by virtue of their pure absurdity. One of these things, without question, is Justin Bieber‘s enormous fur coat, which he was spotted wearing in the balmy 15 degree heat of the incredibly mild Los Angeles Winter.

Why was Bieber wearing an enormous and frightening fur coat? Why did he continue to wear it despite the fact he clearly looks extremely red and flustered? Why does God punish us? Why anything?

People quickly pointed out that his look is by no means original, having been originally popularised by a small monkey in IKEA, which is honestly the best fashion praise I personally could ever hope to receive.

PETA were even less keen than the people of the web on Bieber’s baffling fur coat, issuing a suitably intense statement:
This caveman couture look is a new low for Justin Bieber […] Coyotes and other animals trapped for ridiculous coats like this one panic and gnaw at their limbs until a trapper arrives to shoot or beat them to death, often orphaning their helpless babies.
Never change, Bieber. Never change.
