If it wasn’t bad enough that MTV rigged the VMAs to salvage Britney Spears’ careers, the network also watered down the show by including sugary sweet performances from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. The latter are sons of a preacher and apparently wear purity rings as a symbol of their virginity. This, of course, caught the attention of host comedian Russell Brand. Who? You got me. The AP reports:
Brand clearly angered some in attendance when he repeatedly joked about the Jonas Brothers, the sons of a pastor, all of whom wear purity rings as a symbol of their vow not to have premarital sex. At one point, Brand brandished one as if he had won it from a Jonas brother.
“American Idol” champ Jordin Sparks defended them: “I just wanna say, it’s not bad to wear a promise ring because not every guy and a girl wants to be a slut, OK?”
Brand responded by apologizing, before slyly offending again by alluding to R. Kelly in an unprintable joke (like many of his).
Perhaps summing up his perspective, he explained, “A bit of sex occasionally never hurt anybody.”
“A bit of sex occasionally never hurt anybody.” Oh, I see what’s going on here. Russell Brand is actually Jesus. Ha! Good one.
at least 2 outa 3 of those guys are gay. the ring shit is a cover for why they don’t seem to be interested in girls.
Generally, the whole ‘saving yourself for marriage’ deal is laughable purely because it’s based on their parents fear of dealing with their kids sexuality in any way whatsoever. Keeping the kids ignorant and scared only works for so long, eventually they will trip up and make a mistake which could very well end up in destructive sexual behaviour, pregnancy, or disease.
The truth is teenagers are (sexually) curious, its better to deal with it than to pretend it doesn’t happen. Spirituality has nothing to do with healthy sexual behaviour, and the only way to prevent teens from engaging in reckless behaviour is by educating them properly on contraceptives and the dangers of STD’s.
These 3 little pussies are what the Repugs consider to be ideal. That’s why you end with with Mark Foley (and Larry Craig, and Ted Haggard, and…). It’s all about DAD and pretending he didn’t fuck you, literally and figuratively. Good boy! Good republican!
I can see why. That one on the right is totally going to look like John C. Reilly in a couple of years.
Inutili
Inutili
Russell Brand should try that with Paris Hilton or Pamela Anderson and say it doesn’t hurt anyone.
George Michael and Michael Jackson are the DemoRats ideal. Molesting little boys and bathroom sex are what the DemoRats admire.
Why are the libtards pissing in their pink panties over 3 teenagers wearing purity rings? Where is the tolerance the libtards keep preaching about? What business is it of yours if they want to wait until marriage?
You libtards should ask Joe Biden if he got fucked in his ass by his priest. Ask John Kerry and Ted Kennedy the same question. You leftwing cocksuckers sure are a tolerant bunch of cumeaters
you obama worshipping hippy cocksuckers sure are a tolerant bunch of homos
If the Jonas Bros need Big Mama Sparks to come to the rescue when getting poked fun of (just like every other celebrity who attends a function), then they should stay the hell away from any function thrown by MTV. Ridiculous. Purity in teens is great, but stop crying when someone makes fun of your famous ass. Dry up your tears with all your cash, homos.
It’ll help their music, they’ll be more focused and attentive.
Purity Rings are awesome! Mine gets me so much pussy!
The definition of virgin changes so much, its hard to really understand what it means these days? Let the anal sex/rimming and hand/blow jobs begin!
I thought Jordin came off as utterly stupid. She basically said that everyone who doesn’t wear one is a slut. Granted the states has a high teenage pregnancy rate, but that has to do with the lack of sex ed not the purity ring dominance of the world. I liked her til then, now she just seems like a crazy thirteen year old amazon. …she’s like 12 though right? I thought that she’s too young to even have sex, or maybe she’s bitter ’cause she’s so tall…
PS I think there is nothing wrong with having sex as long as you’re safe! WRAP IT UP SLUTS!
Remember in the butt doesn’t count as sex. You can still keep your ring and disney may even keep paying you for it
The Obama homos are so pissed off because they can’t suck Jonas cocks
Only a COCKSUCKING FAGGOT would be upset about teenage boys being virgins
Well good for them, and I mean that litterally. Two things these guys can be sure of right now in their lives are no unplanned pregnancies, and no STDs. You don’t find many outstanding citizens like these anymore.
OF COURSE they’re virgins when it comes to ejaculating into vaginas. They’re totally NOT virgins when it comes to pumping rectums or being filled anally with juices. I mean, LOOK AT THEM !!
Those are the least cool or attractive gay men on earth. Holy shit. They’re in INSULT to male gayness!!! =0 WTF is wrong with them? They totally fuck up gayness =(
Don Johnson called. He wants his wardrobe back. (From the one in the middle who’s been smoking too much pot)
I think that it is good that they are setting an example to the little kids that look up to them. Unlike Miley and Vanessa who were setting a really bad example of letting kids think its okay to put nude pictures of yourself, or pictures of them in their bras on the internet.
I think its nice that kids can look up to them and learn something. Unless one of the JoeBros crack like Britney unfortunally did, than the little kids dont really have anyone to look up to on the Disney Channel..They are all the same, minus Selena Gomez, shes setting a good example..So far.
I consider myself pretty liberal, which is why it is disappointing to see so many people bashing these kids. So what if they are virgins? Maybe if we had more role models like them, I wouldn’t have to defend my liberal views to so many of my conservative friends. Thanks, Jonai! :)

oh great, now all the low lifes are going to come out of the woodwork with their microphones and trash these kids for having morals. I hate this fucking world.
I consider myself pretty normal, which is why it is disappointing to see three young dudes, who could be banging groupies in multiples of 3 or 4 on a daily basis, decide that sex is icky. I can even buy the argument if it is a teen girl but dudes claiming virginity as a badge of honor is highly offensive. Motley Crue just turned over in their graves.
@35- don’t ever get married. You’ll just be another statistic for failed marriages in u.s.a
Father Nelson says even though it hurts now, the purity ring he gave me should clear up in just a few days.
#74 RIGHT ON!
Conservatives don’t have a lock on values. We liberals are morally upright too! And it’s not all black and white,slut versus virgin. Way to fall into the trap, everyone.
These guys are doing their own thing and it’s not really anyone’s business. Contrary to popular belief, they never made an announcement, and they don’t preach or condemn what anyone else does. They are not sheltered. They are really pretty normal. So they wear a religious symbol that is personal, so what?
Do you mock girls who wear the hijab, too?
Get tolerant.
Maybe they’re virgins as in they haven’t had sex with any females. I’m betting that at least 2 out of 3 is gay. And @53…John C. Reilly…spot on! I was thinking the same thing. The one in the middle a little bit too, though he’s better looking & it will take a few more years. But really, I’m so sick of all this “I’m a virgin! I’m waiting til I’m married” crap from Hollywood’s youth. Its the same old lies & bs. Just like BS/Britney Spears herself; “I’m a virgin, I’m a virgin!” as she humps & thrusts on stage half naked all the time (and of course, as we find out later, lost her cherry at 14 to some douchebag, hillbilly football player that her mom hooked her up with; typical white trash).
Jesus, lots of Chris Crocker-esque “LEAVE THE JONAS BROS ALONE!!!!1!one!!!” comments today. Without knocking the choice to be a virgin, I laugh at them because:
1.) Given the typical trajectory of child stars, it’s highly unlikely that they’re really virgins — or if they are, that they’ll stay that way for long.
2.) Purity rings are tacky — as some other commenters put it, rather than just sticking to their convictions firmly and privately, the J. Bros are instead whoring out the family values image that their manager probably told them that parents want to hear.
So, IMO:
The Jonas Brothers are tacky for using their supposed convictions for publicity
Jordin is a bitch for labeling people as either married, virgins, or sluts
and Russell Brand is an idiot. Maybe he could have avoided putting his foot in his mouth by thinking before he spoke. Oh, and LMAO at the “a little sex never hurt anybody”! Wish that one were true…
Russel Brand is the man! And he contributed highly towards the VMA’s being any way watchable! People (and by people I mean Americans) really need to stop being so sensitive towards comments made by comedians. Political correctness doesn’t exist over here (thanks God!) which is also why everyone loves Russel…
Is this a surprise for anyone?
Are you walking with suicide-plans?
Give this photo a close look and you will do it!!
Marj –
They NEVER made an announcement – they were outed about the rings, and it became all people asked them about. To the point where they don’t answer those questions anymore. Don’t assume.
I’ve seen the win awards, give thank yous on stage – they are the only ones you won’t see crowing of the Lord, God and Jesus. And they don’t have to take their rings off to please people who are intolerant of their religious practices either.
Just because it’s all people talk about about them, doesn’t mean they started it.
And re:Jordin Sparks – everyone is putting words in her mouth. She NEVER said anyone who wasn’t a virgin was a slut, or anything about marriage, and you don’t know enough to imply this. She simply said, some people don’t want to be sluts. Which is true. Try not being so willfully ignorant.
Stand for something with a point, instead of against someone with a point.
Signed,
An Obama Supporter who think MTV sucks, too!!
Russell Brand is one of the best stand up comedians out there and I watched the VMA’s only for him.
I think it’s very cute that they wear those purity rings.
I find it hard to believe that they’ll manage to remain being virgins for much longer (especially Joe, he’s a cutie!)
It’s an honorable choice and it’s nobody’s business.
Personally, I’d never pick extremes though. Marrying virgin is a bit too much for me (not to mention that it’s too late as well *hihihi*). But I still think having strict moral standards and wearing purity rings are a waaay better option than to just be male sluts (which sounds pleonastic, for most males are sluts and that’s kind of gross).
Leave those kids alone!
Well I for one fully believe they’re virgins. The proof is undeniable. They said so which means it must be true. As everyone knows there has never been a disney produced popstar who claimed virginity when in reality she was banging everything in sight. Never Ever.
On a totally serious note though, i’ve only ever known one person who wore a purity ring. My ex-boyfriend. And i’m a guy.
Just sayin…
Good for them…
I agree with others here who have said:
Yeah, ‘technically’ you are a virgin if you only give and receive blowjobs or have anal sex. Seriously those guys are gayer than gay!
It is easy to retain your ‘virginity’ as a guy if vaginas gross you out!
This is too much. These 3 milquetoasts should be fucking cock punched wherever they go. How do they rehearse if they are playing ’5 tackle 1′ all the time? This world is full of shit and these idiots are part of the problem. Don’t these guys have any fucking shame? If they don’t start fucking soon, there will be a Priest, sack deep, inside them….Praise Jesus….
I am totally in love with all three of them. Naturally, they r virgins. They won’t copy Britney Spears or Gay Efron. I luv all their songs.
I can’t wait until these 3 go away. I can’t stand them.
Who cares… They suck!
Everyone should know by now that Disney stars are sluts/sexaholics. Examples: Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens.
And FYI, most people who say they’re saving themselves for marriage are often the biggest sluts on the planet. They use that to cover it up.
What are all of you all big brats getting all pissed up about the Jonas Brothers. I am by no means trying to defend them but they made a choice a long time ago way before they ever became famous to save themselves for marriage. There is nothing wrong with doing that because you save yourself a lot of heart ache, from STD’s, from HIV’s, from getting girls pregnant. I respect there choice because I choose to do the same thing before I even knew they existed. So please give them a chance they might appreciate you doing that. And yeah btw all you jealous immature brats need to get a life and stop trying to hating on them just because they are not like you.
Anyone who takes the time to bash someone for their religious beliefs is immature, disrespecful, and probably is incapable of a civil conversation on the subject. Regardless of agreeing with the Jonas Brothers beliefs or political stance , which they very rarely address, nor tried to shove down people throats, i respect them for keeping to their beliefs, they are teenage boys with girls throwing themselves at them every day, and they still stick to their morals, anyway whatever they choose to do or not do is their buisness, and anyone who looks down upon them for making the choice to stay pure obviously is lacking alot of great qualities these guys have, strengths that got them to where they are today,(respect,being able to take critism,drive,and the ability to stay true to who they are when everybody is judging them) those people who judge them could learn something alot from them.
While many teenage boys and young men choose to lose their virginity as soon as possible, the Jonas Brothers are, well, guys. They have the equipment. And, like all guys, they may not be able to control what their equipment does, they are in 100% control (except perhaps in a bondage situation) of where that equipment goes, and does not go. To suggest to adolescent males or young men that they cannot control where their penises go is EXTREMELY unhealthy.
