Sep 8 2008The Jonas Brothers are virgins
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.

i hate them! they are UGLY! and their music sucks. thats why i hate them. but mostly because all 3 of them are so fucking ugly!
8. Sarah Palin - September 8, 2008 11:25 AM
Hey, Pres, ease up a little, ok? It's not Bristol's fault. She became pregnant after the hockey player she was dating had sex with her after she drank too much and passed out. We hockey moms call that one an "empty netter."

I love Russel Brand. I wish he'd have sex with me all night long.
10. V - September 8, 2008 11:33 AM
I'm actually pretty much okay with the guys doing the whole purity ring thing.
Usually, girls get a whole lot more of that pressure to be virginal -- while, of course, at the same time, getting pressure to be sexy.
I think it's an interesting stand for these teenage boys to be making.

Some day in the next couple of years a "preacher" will go to the emergency room because something's stuck in his rectum. The doctor will extract 3 purity rings.
13. Paul - September 8, 2008 11:38 AM
Russell Brand FTW! He may be an ex-junkie, but he's got his mince pies on the game. If you're a relative no-one in the US the only way to make an impact - which is what Monsieur Brand went for. Nice political comment at the start too.
14. Satan - September 8, 2008 11:40 AM
I just love when one of my runny stool samples gets a microphone in his hand and reveals his true inner dickhead. I use MTV to indoctrinate future generations of morons into the path of STD and drug addled stupidity. It would bring a tear to my eye if they all weren't so gullible. Welcome my children, your life of flipping burgers and mopping floors awaits you!!!
15. steve - September 8, 2008 11:41 AM
I'm sure they're boning groupies like there's no tomorrow. But in the unlikely case that they're telling the truth, when those purity rings come off they're going to be having the filthy degenerate sex that preachers pay prostitutes for (example: Jimmy Swaggart, or worse, Ted Haggard).
16. Anus Bros - September 8, 2008 11:42 AM
They look like the kind of guys who'd be virgins. You have to admit that.
17. wtf - September 8, 2008 11:43 AM
just one question...if you are going to be in a rock band wtf is the point of going on tour if you aren't going to fuck every teenager in site
18. oscar - September 8, 2008 11:46 AM
ok, i read the article and the comments and was shocked to see that no one stooped to alluding the 'boys' being penis virgins and not man-pussy virgins. you think at least one, if not all, of them havent dropped the soap 'by accident' in the gang shower?
either that or this is the new 21st version of britbrits 'i'm a virgin' lol
19. Eddie Slabaugh - September 8, 2008 11:46 AM
People should lay off the Jonas Brothers. Just because you may not agree with their lifestyle choices and the possibility they just might be positive role models for young kids - how are they hurting you? It's probably just jealousy gnawing at your ass...
20. No, it's all 3 Jonas brothers... - September 8, 2008 11:49 AM
...gnawing at your ass.
21. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW - September 8, 2008 11:50 AM
Look the more celbrity dipshits that keep it in their pants or keep their legs crossed the bettr because all these loosers produce are bastards (double entendre intended). However I like Brant for trashing idiots and he seems to have foucssed on the closed minded republican douche fuck kind. Whats so fucking hilarious to me is that tards like these swear off sex and then wehen they do fuck as most inevitably sucCUM to the pressure (of their balls or clits) they never insist on a condom like what the fuck is that about? So you break your little chastity vow and you go all out , Is it because these fuckwads don't even know what condoms are or do they get lost in the heat of the moment and not have any condoms on them because they planned to stay pure, whatever the reason it totally backfires every time.
Anyway the best joke ever would have been if Brand asked the jonass4us (thnk latino accent when you read it) brothers to donate all three rings to Britney because maybe the triple force of their douchy virginity bands could turn her into a born again since we all fucking know she should never have sex again, lest the risk of her popping out another child she can't care for or perhaps Paris Hilton could be given a ring, but no it would likely evaporated as soon as it made contact with her.
Oh how I would have loved to hear him say such things. These rich greedy bible loving republican fucktard children need to be humiliated and deserve to be so don't go feeling sorry for them and jordin Sparks shut your giant pie hole you couldn't be a slut if you tried no one wants to have sex with a girl who looks like a mountain buffalo in a wig and makeup.
22. Who Cares - September 8, 2008 11:50 AM
They're virgins because the only girls that want to fuck them are eight years old.
23. toolboy - September 8, 2008 11:51 AM
Purity rings? whatever. so you are saving yourselves, great. I guess you just haven't found the right priest yet.
Or camp counselor. "Hey #2 jonass, you gonna step up and get the spooning badge or cry in the corner like a little bitch?"
24. YoungAdultMaleLogic - September 8, 2008 11:53 AM
The new wave of youth believe in creationism and it is only sex if a baby is made. That's why these pretty boys only put their putters in the pooper or a mouth. Kids these days don't think any of that is sex. Why couldn't I be 18 now damn it.
25. Deacon Jones - September 8, 2008 11:54 AM
HA! Purity Rings....which one of the closeted Republicans thought that one up???
26. stizzef - September 8, 2008 11:57 AM
If they want to be virgins, fine (although i doubt it will be true for long), but remind me again why these douchebags are heart throbs? They're hideous! And it's so obvious that their sense of "style" was hand picked by their stylist and pushed on them. LAME.
27. Pastor Gas - September 8, 2008 11:58 AM
Look, everybody twists Christianity to their own purposes theses days. Jesus was never described as a virgin. Just one example: after Mary Magdalene - the great sinner - made her penance by washing Jesus' feet with her tears and then anointing them with oil, he took her into the kitchen and went ass to mouth on her, and she smiled (through her tears) and pretended to like it because she knew she OWED it, and much more. The lesson: be virtuous, the dirty chicks will feel guilty and ask for forgiveness, and then it's time to cash it in. They'll do everything and they won't tell. You'll feel like a god.
28. Uncle Eccoli - September 8, 2008 12:15 PM
I'll take Russell Brand's morality over those queers' any day.
How is whoring out your supposed virginity any better than just whoring out in general? And don't give me any crap about influencing young girls toward more wholesome lifestyles, either - that's a fucking load. Whether they won't keep their legs together or won't ever open them, all of these dancing monkeys are just schills for some sleazy record company.

31. Mom of 2sons - September 8, 2008 12:41 PM
I think it's a good thing for teenagers to believe in that whole no sex before marrige!! I think the Jonas brothers are good kids. Some may not like their music or their looks, but when did having moral become soo bad??
32. Sara - September 8, 2008 12:41 PM
"it's not bad to wear a promise ring because not every guy and a girl wants to be a slut, OK?"
Jordin Sparks is now officially a fuckin' idiot for saying that.
33. Sexymomma - September 8, 2008 12:46 PM
When does being a virgin and being proud of it make you a republican?? These boys are not pushing their beliefs on anyone, they made a decision to wait what the HELL is wrong with that?? I give them credit. Man god forbid their parents actually instilled some values and morals in their children.

if the jonas brothers want to be virgins til they get married, then that's their choice. but i'm going to feel bad for their "lucky" wives, because the jonas bros will be TERRIBLE at sex. if i was a chick that kept waiting around for some dude to elope with me and then we finally banged and he popped in 30 seconds, i'd get an annulment. STAT.

48. fish sucks - September 8, 2008 2:30 PM
How about you cretins who WHORE out your gayness? Why is it considered pride when homos put on their thongs and prance in the streets during a parade but not OK when young people wear purity rings? The homos would rather look at men in thongs prancing around the streets.

2) all ppl on the tv go through a whoring phase. that's why you go to work on tv.
3) russell who now? never mind. unimportant.
50. Sirkowski - September 8, 2008 2:39 PM
Getting fucked in the ass by your daddy priest doesn't count as sex.
51. eurotrash - September 8, 2008 2:42 PM
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.
52. Sid - September 8, 2008 2:45 PM
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!

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.

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!
65. klutz - September 8, 2008 6:34 PM
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!
66. Papa Joe - September 8, 2008 6:36 PM
Remember in the butt doesn't count as sex. You can still keep your ring and disney may even keep paying you for it

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.
70. Holly - September 8, 2008 9:24 PM
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 =(

72. JoeMacLeodFanxx - September 8, 2008 10:15 PM
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.
73. who cares? - September 8, 2008 10:20 PM
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! :)

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.

#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.
80. blah - September 9, 2008 3:19 AM
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).
81. Marj - September 9, 2008 3:48 AM
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...
82. hellcat1983 - September 9, 2008 6:18 AM
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...

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.

Russell Brand is one of the best stand up comedians out there and I watched the VMA's only for him.
87. _Melissa_ - September 10, 2008 9:59 AM
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!
88. James - September 10, 2008 10:35 AM
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...
89. ummm...yeah - September 10, 2008 11:20 AM
Good for them...
90. Janine - September 10, 2008 1:28 PM
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!
91. Jack - September 11, 2008 3:30 PM
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....
