The MTV Video Music Awards were on last night. Millions tuned in and saw the outrageous outfits, scandalous necklines, insane hairstyles and interesting moments. Millions also surely heard the lame comments made by the host, too. Today I heard about how Jordin Sparks laid the smack down on VMA host Russell Brand following a stupid comment he said about the Jonas Brothers who each wear a purity ring on their left hand.
I guess Brand finds these guys stupid. He thinks waiting to have sex until marriage is something to be mocked. I have chosen not to run the video clip of Brand's comments but trust me, what the bloke shared was offensive and not even remotely funny.
Yeah, three pretty cute rock star guys who just happen to want to wait to have sex until marriage sounds completely stupid, huh?
Perhaps Brand had a second of regret because when he came back on stage, he tried to say he didn't mean to be a jerk and the whole virginity things was "well done everyone" but added insult to injury with this quip. "It's just, a bit of sex occasionally never hurt anybody."
Really?
Hmmm, tell that to the high school girl who spoke to me after class and told me she had herpes. Tell that to the guy who cries himself to sleep at night because his girlfriend cheated on him. Explain that to a teenage girl who is overwhelmed by the news that her pregnancy test came back positive. I have met all three and many others with heartbreaking consequences.
Apparently he hasn't met middle school girls who have terrible reputations because of their regretful decisions. Brand must have never sweated it out awaiting results on an HIV test either. And it would appear that this 33 year old guy does not know anyone who grieves the loss of a child they never got to meet due to an abortion.
Russell Brand shows his real ignorance to the intensity of sexual relationships. His pathetic comments clearly demonstrate that he certainly thinks "Girls ARE Gum." Use them up, spit them out, it never hurt anybody, right?
Considering Russell Brand himself has been in treatment for drug addiction AND sex addiction, I should think he'd have learned something by now.
What an idiot.
It's really sad when the world insults people who make righteous choices. We should be applauding guys who treat themselves and others with respect. Folks, I've gotta tell you, that's something that deserves an award but you'll never see that on MTV.

How do you spell doofus? That can't be right... but you get the point. Isn't there a point where producers and directors and maybe even the devoted audiance of MTV would start asking themselves, "do I really want to be associated with this much stupidity?" I hope there is a point like that, but sadly, we don't seem to be anywhere near that point at this time. Keep it up Gum Rappers!!!
Amen! You go girl! I am so thankful for people in the spotlight like the Jonas Brothers who are not ashamed to take a stand about their choices.
Tell it, girl!
Good stuff Gum Rappers! This guy is a dork!
The purity ring I wear on my thumb used to be my husband's. He gave it to me when we got home from our honeymoon. It means just as much to me as my wedding rings. :)
It's encouraging to see some kids out there who are making a stand against all the crud about sex. Go Jonas Brothers!
