Christmas comes early: Maple Leafs sign Bieber

In one final move to wring every last dollar out of their beloved cash cow Toronto Maple Leafs, news has broken that the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan has mandated the signing of young center Justin Bieber. Bieber, who at one time may have been inside a hockey rink, was spotted
