promise ring my butt.

it's been a busy week. fun stuff here and there. and what am i going to blog about? stupid promise rings.

ugh.

note: for those of you who saw the mtv vmas last sunday, you know what i'm talking about.

chris brand was the host for this year's vmas. and as avid mtv fans know, it always starts with the host and his standup, bashing and trashing celebrities and whatnot. and he started talking about like-a-virgins and promise rings. and fyi, i didn't know that the JoBros (jonas brothers in layman terms) wear promise ring to symbolize their, uh, promise to stay virgs. and then, as a retort, jordin sparks, another promise ring wearer, said that it's not bad to wear promise rings because maybe some girls and boys don't want to be sluts. and then the camera pans to the JoBros with their stoic expressions while cBrand explains himself, in that accent of his.

now i have an issue with this. issues, i mean.

a.) jSparks' comment leaves no room for a gray area. it's a yes or no comment, or black and white. however you want to put it. why? because inasmuch as i know that she means well, i gues she should've tought about how to say it first. she said that people wear promise rings because not everyone wants to be sluts. does that mean those who don't wear them ARE sluts? well, i never wore a promise ring. does that make me a slut? who else didn't? my mom, my sister, my boyfriend, probably his mom, my girl friends, they never did. does that mean i surround myself with sluts? that promise ring is not gonna cork a vagina, people. i can stick to my ideals even without a promise ring.

and just in case people didn't notice, young people were there. miley cyrus, drake and josh, and the JoBros all brought their fans along with them obviously. preteens, young'uns, you name it. they may want to start wearing promise rings because their idols wear them and they're good role models about staying virgs until god-knows-when, or they may think that OMG, we're not wearing rings, are we slutzillas??

and i'm gonna say it again, i know she meant well, she should've just thought about it first.

b.) the JoBros are babies for taking to heart whatever cBrand said. it's the MTV, for crying out loud. it's about sex, and curse words, and bashings, and too-close-for-comfort humor! nick, kevin and joe (funny i know their names..XP) sitting there looking like they were disrespected, was normal, but they should've expected something. they're like the biggest thing in the bubblegum pop world, and of course they'r gonna be talked about. maybe they're not ready for the big world, little boys. maybe disney is where they belong, filled with rainbows, butterflies, and unicorns. thy're cute and all, but what the hizzle? i think that they should drop their tighty-whiteys and start wearing some boxer briefs (which are tres hot) if they want to make it in the man man's world. (hah! man man..)
