Justin Bieber Called ‘White Trash Prince’ After Overalls Incident Hollywood Life By: Eleanore Hutch The gloves are off and the claws are out! On Nov. 24, Justin Bieber met Prime Minister Stephen Harper to accept the Diamond Jubilee award, and he caused controversy. A reporter for The Daily Mail has since called Justin a “white trash prince” in an article, and the pop star took to Instagram to defend himself. Justin received a lot of criticism for his choice of wardrobe, as Twitter users and bloggers attacked him for his disrespectful outfit, as he wore a backwards baseball cap and grey overalls, while the Prime Minister, on the other hand, wore a crisp suit. Daily Mail reporter Hayley Peterson wrote the article, where she called Justin a “white trash prince,” and condemned his choice of clothing. Justin, 20, obviously thought meeting the Prime Minster in overalls was funny as he tweeted, “I met the Prime Minster in overalls lol.” However, he really didn’t find being called a “white trash prince” funny! The Prime Minister was not offended by Justin’s choice of attire, as he tweeted “In fairness to @justinbieber, I told him I would be wearing my overalls too. #cdnpoli #beliebers”. Ha, that would have been a funny picture!

Bamidbar Chapter 13

‫במדבר פרשת שלח פרק יג‬

32) And they brought a report of the land that they had spied out to the Bnai Yisrael, saying, The land that we passed through to spy it out, it is a land that consumes its inhabitance and all the people that we saw in it are huge people. 33) And we saw the Nephilim, the sons of the giant from among the Nephilim, we were like grasshoppers in our eyes and so we were in their eyes.

R’ Menachem Mendel of Kotzk

‫ָארץ אֲשֶ ר תָ רּו אֹּ תָ ּה אֶ ל־בְּ נֵי י ְִּש ָראֵ ל לֵאמֹּ ר הָ ָארֶ ץ‬ ֶ ָ‫לב) ַויֹּצִ יאּו ִדבַ ת ה‬ ‫אֲשֶ ר עָ בַ ְּרנּו בָ ּה לָתּור אֹּ תָ ּה אֶ רֶ ץ אֹּ ֶכלֶת יו ְֹּּשבֶ יהָ הִ וא וְּ כָל־הָ עָ ם‬ ‫ר־ראִ ינּו בְּ ת ֹּוכָּה ַאנְּשֵ י ִמדוֹּת‬ ָ ֶ‫אֲש‬ ‫לג) וְּ שָ ם ָראִ ינּו אֶ ת־הַ נְּפִ ילִ ים בְּ נֵי ֲענָק ִמן־הַ נְּפִ לִ ים ַונְּהִ י בְּ עֵ ינֵינּו ַכ ֲחגָבִ ים‬ ‫וְּ כֵן הָ יִינּו בְּ עֵ ינֵיהֶ ם‬

After the spies spied out the land of Canaan and saw the giants who were there they claimed two things: “We were like grasshoppers in our eyes” and “we were like grasshoppers in their eyes”. Saying that we were like grasshoppers in their eyes is a statement that is hard to understand, they saw themselves as small in the eyes of the giants. What is the idea of seeing yourself in the eyes of others? The main thing is how you see yourself in your own eyes.

Chofetz Chaim -Talking badly about yourself Famous for his learning, wisdom and humility, the Chofetz Chaim liked to travel incognito in order to avoid adulation. One day, as the Chofetz Chaim was on his way home to the Lithuanian town of Radin, the coach driver began praising a certain rabbi who happened to lived in Radin. Each time the driver uttered praise for this rabbi, the Chofetz Chaim would demur. When the driver proclaimed how learned the rabbi was, the Chofetz Chaim responded, “Nu, he is not so learned.” When the driver related how compassionate and charitable the rabbi was, the Chofetz Chaim protested, “Nu, he is not so compassionate and charitable.” When the driver described how humble a man the rabbi was, the Chofetz Chaim begged to differ: “Nu, he is not so humble.” At that point the driver had heard enough from his contrary passenger. He stopped the coach and unceremoniously threw the man to the side of the road. The next day the driver decided to pay a visit to the famed rabbi whose virtues he had extolled so forcefully. At once he recognized the rabbi as the very passenger he had left stranded the day before at the side of the road. Mortified, he began crying out, “Oy, Rebbe, please forgive me.” The Chofetz Chaim interrupted him and said: “Mein tayerer Yid (My precious Jew), I have nothing to forgive you for. I have to thank you for teaching me a very important lesson in life. We have no right to deride ourselves. We must fully respect ourselves and never be self-deprecating.”
