While I can't say that I'm a huge fan of the Jonas Brothers, the incident involving their purity rings at the VMA's got me listening to what they have to say. Apparently, all three of the brothers wear these rings, symbolizing their commitment to save sex until marriage. Russell Brand, the host of the VMA's, felt the need to publicly ridicule the family for their decision. Despite the fact that what Brand did was completely uncalled for, the Jonas Brothers held their ground and have continued to stand up for their promise to remain pure. Way to go, boys.
It takes a high level of immaturity to mock someone for a decision that will, inevitably, leave him or her safe. Teasing any person because he or she has decided to wait to have sex until marriage merely indicates ignorance and a closed mind. As the owner of a purity ring myself, I am incredibly proud to say that, if I do get married, I will be able to give my husband a truly special gift. And I don't think that's laughable at all.
