In Canada, there was a charge against him for assaulting a limo driver and claims that he spat on his own fans from a hotel balcony. In London, he grabbed a photographer’s camera and ever so eloquently declared: \"I’ll f*cking beat the f*ck out of you.” In Amsterdam, there were \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2013/04/15/dear-justin-bieber-a-letter-from-anne-frank/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">astonishingly insensitive comments about Anne Frank\u003c/a>. In New York, he was filmed simultaneously peeing into a bucket and\u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/07/11/justin-bieber-apologizes-bill-clinton-pee-bucket-video/2507957/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> insulting Bill Clinton\u003c/a>.

The emergence of excruciating videos of him using racist slurs early on in his career only served to prove this point further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case that wasn’t enough, the people he surrounded himself with during that time did not help matters. Tales of crewmembers trying to sneak weed through Australian customs emerged. Bodyguards allegedly started fights in English venues and used heavy-handed approaches with fans. And through it all, Bieber strutted around in those weird-diaper pants of his, self-satisfied smirk on his face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_21229\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-21229\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Bieber, in said weird diaper-pants. \" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-768x768.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-75x75.jpg 75w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bieber, in said weird diaper-pants.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So how in the hell is Bieber back in America’s favor so quickly? It’s not because of his spouting of religious texts on Instagram, or his \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/09/justin-bieber-baptized_n_5473568.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">desperate baptism in NBA star Tyson Chandler’s bathtub\u003c/a> (which seemed about as authentic as the time Paris Hilton showed up to jail carrying a Bible). It’s not even because he showed us a photo of his perfectly formed bottom (though that didn’t hurt, in the grand scheme of things).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truthfully, there have been several important steps that have put Bieber back in our good graces. First of all, he paid $80,000 restitution to his egging victim. Not only does this seem like a pretty good pay day for a few propelled dairy products, but the knowledge that Bieber’s neighbor had been asking for $1 million in damages after the incident, made us understand a little bit why Bieber might have wanted to throw eggs in this guy’s direction in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, of course, there was a major ally in the form of Ellen DeGeneres. The universally adored host of \u003cem>Ellen\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://www.ellentv.com/tags/JustinBieber/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">invited her friend Justin onto her popular daytime show repeatedly\u003c/a> throughout 2015, and presented the young singer as fun-loving, self-deprecating and humble. At one stage, she even put him in the same room as Seth Rogen, who had\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sethrogen/status/426418298637406208\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> recently Tweeted\u003c/a>: \"Justin Bieber is a piece of sh*t.\" Rogen subsequently apologized on the air. And so did Justin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egXDTfOHcPE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The real turning point came when J.B. volunteered to be the subject of a Comedy Central roast, throughout which he laughed warmly and genuinely, even while being called a \"bitch\" by Shaquille O'Neal, \"a piece of shit\" by Natasha Leggero and being informed by SNL’s Pete Davidson: \"I lost my dad on 9/11, and I always regretted growing up without a dad -- until I met your dad, Justin.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which leads us to a major forgiveness factor: Jeremy Bieber. Justin’s father -- who looks a bit like the sort of caricature a cartoonist might come up with if asked to draw a frat bro douchelord -- not only has a checkered past legally (convictions for assault, probation breaking and apartment trashing) but he was largely absent from his son’s life until Justin got famous. Jeremy was present for a number of his son’s infractions, including the Miami drag racing. On another occasion, he and his son filled a private plane with so much marijuana smoke, the pilots had to wear oxygen masks to land the plane safely. When TMZ published proof that Justin was even paying this idiot’s rent, a ripple of sympathy and understanding flowed around the country and swelled into a fully-fledged wave after Bieber\u003ca href=\"http://www.mtv.com/news/2260489/justin-bieber-explains-vma-crying/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> broke down in tears on stage at last year’s VMAs\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truthfully, as a nation, America is a remarkably forgiving place. We want to see young, talented people do well. We might love to watch a good car crash, but we enjoy it a lot more when the people involved get out with no permanent injuries. Everyone might have obsessively watched every step of Britney’s breakdown, but\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/03/09/the-redemptive-power-of-britney-spears-instagram/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> we love it even more now that there’s a happy ending\u003c/a>. More than that, if you consider the fact that Chris Brown still has a career after brutally beating one of the most popular female singers in the country, it’s not a stretch for someone like Justin Bieber to get granted a clean slate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin turned 22 this month, and appears to have put the bad behavior behind him (those willing to cough up \u003ca href=\"http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tix/5492806492.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">roughly $250 per ticket can judge for themselves\u003c/a> this Friday, March 18 in Oakland). But as a nation, one thing's clear: It's much more fun for us to focus on his undeniable talent than it is to hate him for living out his hormone-addled teenage years in the public eye -- especially when moving on sounds so good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG0OIice9to\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

In New York, he was filmed simultaneously peeing into a bucket and\u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/07/11/justin-bieber-apologizes-bill-clinton-pee-bucket-video/2507957/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> insulting Bill Clinton\u003c/a>. In Australia, he left crappy graffiti on a hotel wall. There was even, in a \u003cem>Spinal Tap\u003c/em>-worthy twist, callous \u003ca href=\"http://gawker.com/zookeeper-justin-bieber-left-his-illegal-monkey-fright-1666887438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pet-monkey-abandonment\u003c/a> in Germany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin Bieber was, without question, a major brat with too much money and too little supervision. The emergence of excruciating videos of him using racist slurs early on in his career only served to prove this point further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case that wasn’t enough, the people he surrounded himself with during that time did not help matters. Tales of crewmembers trying to sneak weed through Australian customs emerged. Bodyguards allegedly started fights in English venues and used heavy-handed approaches with fans. And through it all, Bieber strutted around in those weird-diaper pants of his, self-satisfied smirk on his face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_21229\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-21229\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Bieber, in said weird diaper-pants. \" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-768x768.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117-75x75.jpg 75w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/117.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bieber, in said weird diaper-pants.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So how in the hell is Bieber back in America’s favor so quickly?

First of all, he paid $80,000 restitution to his egging victim. Not only does this seem like a pretty good pay day for a few propelled dairy products, but the knowledge that Bieber’s neighbor had been asking for $1 million in damages after the incident, made us understand a little bit why Bieber might have wanted to throw eggs in this guy’s direction in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, of course, there was a major ally in the form of Ellen DeGeneres. The universally adored host of \u003cem>Ellen\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://www.ellentv.com/tags/JustinBieber/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">invited her friend Justin onto her popular daytime show repeatedly\u003c/a> throughout 2015, and presented the young singer as fun-loving, self-deprecating and humble. At one stage, she even put him in the same room as Seth Rogen, who had\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/sethrogen/status/426418298637406208\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> recently Tweeted\u003c/a>: \"Justin Bieber is a piece of sh*t.\" Rogen subsequently apologized on the air. And so did Justin.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/egXDTfOHcPE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/egXDTfOHcPE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The real turning point came when J.B. volunteered to be the subject of a Comedy Central roast, throughout which he laughed warmly and genuinely, even while being called a \"bitch\" by Shaquille O'Neal, \"a piece of shit\" by Natasha Leggero and being informed by SNL’s Pete Davidson: \"I lost my dad on 9/11, and I always regretted growing up without a dad -- until I met your dad, Justin.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which leads us to a major forgiveness factor: Jeremy Bieber. Justin’s father -- who looks a bit like the sort of caricature a cartoonist might come up with if asked to draw a frat bro douchelord -- not only has a checkered past legally (convictions for assault, probation breaking and apartment trashing) but he was largely absent from his son’s life until Justin got famous. Jeremy was present for a number of his son’s infractions, including the Miami drag racing. On another occasion, he and his son filled a private plane with so much marijuana smoke, the pilots had to wear oxygen masks to land the plane safely. When TMZ published proof that Justin was even paying this idiot’s rent, a ripple of sympathy and understanding flowed around the country and swelled into a fully-fledged wave after Bieber\u003ca href=\"http://www.mtv.com/news/2260489/justin-bieber-explains-vma-crying/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> broke down in tears on stage at last year’s VMAs\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truthfully, as a nation, America is a remarkably forgiving place. We want to see young, talented people do well. We might love to watch a good car crash, but we enjoy it a lot more when the people involved get out with no permanent injuries. Everyone might have obsessively watched every step of Britney’s breakdown, but\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/03/09/the-redemptive-power-of-britney-spears-instagram/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> we love it even more now that there’s a happy ending\u003c/a>. More than that, if you consider the fact that Chris Brown still has a career after brutally beating one of the most popular female singers in the country, it’s not a stretch for someone like Justin Bieber to get granted a clean slate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin turned 22 this month, and appears to have put the bad behavior behind him (those willing to cough up \u003ca href=\"http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tix/5492806492.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">roughly $250 per ticket can judge for themselves\u003c/a> this Friday, March 18 in Oakland). But as a nation, one thing's clear: It's much more fun for us to focus on his undeniable talent than it is to hate him for living out his hormone-addled teenage years in the public eye -- especially when moving on sounds so good.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/IG0OIice9to'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/IG0OIice9to'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Unlike other recent instances of illegal sidewalk advertising that was chalk-based, according to Herrera’s letter, the Bieber-related graffiti appears to have been applied with permanent spray paint. Such defiant guerrilla marketing tactics have become an increasingly unwelcome sight to many San Francisco residents, according to their reactions on social media, in published news accounts, and in complaints to City officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“....This prohibited marketing practice illegally exploits our City’s walkable neighborhoods and robust tourism; intentionally creates visual distractions that pose risks to pedestrians on busy rights of way; and irresponsibly tells our youth that likeminded lawlessness and contempt for public property are condoned and encouraged by its beneficiaries—including Mr. Bieber and the record labels that produce and promote him.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The letter does not, unfortunately, address how criminally sad it is for a major corporate media conglomerate to attempt to ply consumers into associating a mainstream-in-every-sense-of-the-term pop star with subversive \"street\" values, but perhaps that goes unspoken? Herrera does add that he has successfully fought back against \"virtually identical\" infractions from \"IBM, NBC Universal, Turner Broadcasting and Zynga\" over the past 15 years.

SF City Attorney Dennis Herrera's office, for example, was probably not bumping \u003cem>Purpose (\u003c/em>which \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6814157/justin-bieber-purpose-million-seller\" target=\"_blank\">just went platinum\u003c/a>) when it issued a letter on Dec. 28, addressed to heads of Def Jam and Universal Music Group, blasting the \"illegal guerilla marketing stunt\" that accompanied the album -- a.k.a. the Bieber graffiti that began showing up on San Francisco sidewalks in the weeks before the album dropped in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19641\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-19641\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-400x225.png\" alt=\"#BURN\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-400x225.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-768x432.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2.png 876w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">#BURN\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>From a\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcityattorney.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/SF-V-BIEBER-PRESSKIT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> press release posted by Herrera's office\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Herrera, who called the graffiti vandalism “illegal and actionable” in a letter today to executives from Def Jam Records and Universal Music Group, vowed to “aggressively pursue all available penalties and costs from those responsible for lawless marketing tactics that intend to financially benefit your respective companies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Public Works has for weeks responded to neighborhood complaints about the stenciled ads, which have otherwise persisted undiminished through several rainstorms. Unlike other recent instances of illegal sidewalk advertising that was chalk-based, according to Herrera’s letter, the Bieber-related graffiti appears to have been applied with permanent spray paint. Such defiant guerrilla marketing tactics have become an increasingly unwelcome sight to many San Francisco residents, according to their reactions on social media, in published news accounts, and in complaints to City officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“....This prohibited marketing practice illegally exploits our City’s walkable neighborhoods and robust tourism; intentionally creates visual distractions that pose risks to pedestrians on busy rights of way; and irresponsibly tells our youth that likeminded lawlessness and contempt for public property are condoned and encouraged by its beneficiaries—including Mr. Bieber and the record labels that produce and promote him.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The letter does not, unfortunately, address how criminally sad it is for a major corporate media conglomerate to attempt to ply consumers into associating a mainstream-in-every-sense-of-the-term pop star with subversive \"street\" values, but perhaps that goes unspoken? Herrera does add that he has successfully fought back against \"virtually identical\" infractions from \"IBM, NBC Universal, Turner Broadcasting and Zynga\" over the past 15 years. Those actions did not, you will note, make for such fun headlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
