There appeared to be a Canadian full moon at the French Polynesian Island of Bora Bora on Monday, courtesy of Justin Bieber.

The pop superstar from Stratford, Ont., shared a rear view of his naked bottom on a boat via his Instagram account, daring his 3.2 million followers to "Look."

It's unlikely that the cheeky 21-year-old was trying to draw attention to the blue waters or green peaks of the South Pacific, but to his pale posterior. And fans fell right into his barefaced plot. 

The revealing snapshot generated more than 1.5 million "likes" and more than 436,000 comments in the first 10 hours after it was posted.

The huge reaction also generated a tonne of spin-off memes, most of which we can't show you here.

But one fan, Bhernn Saenz from Manila, shared a particularly clever snapshot mashup of Bieber with another celebrity who also took a crack at breaking the internet — Kim Kardashian.

Bieber, who traveled to Australia last week to attend a Christian church conference in Sydney, has been sharing snaps of his travels to exotic spots around Oceania.
