Russell Brand vs. Purity Rings

Using the Jonas Brothers as his foil, the 2008 VMA host explains why he finds the idea of purity rings to be dubious at best.

i agree with what perez hilton said. He said something along the lines of not making fun of them for promoting good values. they are good guys & I don't think anyone should make fun of them for being good role models, unlike a lot of celebrities nowadays.

He went a little bit too far this time! As a matter of fact, I wear a purity ring Mr. Brand.

JB - or anyone - sticking to their moral values is COOL. Russell Brand - and MTV - should respect that.

I just watched the VMA's and I think that when Jamie Foxx came on after Brand's opening monologue highlighted a major problem with the American entertainment system. Brand's monologue contained real substance, it was funny and political at the same time but received a varied response from the audience, many of who did not appear to 'get' his sophisticated and distinctive British humour. Then on came Jamie Foxx, who spent about 3 minutes saying 'look there's LL Cool J, wassup my man look at these ladies don't they look great' etc, BORING, and somehow this received a much more positive response than Brand's motor-mouthed stand-up. Fundamentaly, my point is that Americans are obsessed with fame and celebrity and don't care what they say as long as some idiot comes out looking 'cool' in his sunglasses (despite being inside) and talks rubbish for 3 minutes. Oh and don't even think about saying that Britain doesn't have any real celebrities, I think I could reasonably say that we own you in terms of proportional musical success, ask yourselves, where did the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, David Bowie, U2 and many many others come from, and our population is about 1/8 your size. Furthermore, why don't we wait and see if any of the Jonas brothers stay true to the promise of these 'promise rings' of theirs. Oh, I almost forgot, how dare any of you accuse foreigners of sticking their noses in your precious, clearly successful and not at all contradicting political system. It's not like you don't interfere with anyone elses is it??? I hope Obama is elected then he can sort things out. Having said that, I am not an America hater, I just believe that Russell Brand exposed many of the contradictions of American life, something you should all thank him for, I watch a lot of American movies and listen to a lot of American music!!

Brand is a piece of crap. He has not talent. He kept recycling the same jokes. How boring.

Oh and by the way brainwashed America maybe you should be more conserned about this:::: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m30Z3x0FYcA

Doesn't anyone realize that Russell is just a comedian!?! Like everyone gets in an uproar about this like this is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF YOUR LIFES! I think the Jonas brothers are over this and obviously probably don't care anymore and are living there expressive royal lush lifes! Like come on now! Are you really going to block this because someone that your not familiar with is making fun of your [not really yours and probably will never be yours] Jonas bros! Dont get me wrong I love the JB but I don't get offended when someone goes and makes fun of them for holding there v-card till marriage. Honestly I think Russell is right for saying that about them. And I found it funny[crude humor America. tehehehe] And I think it's time somebody ANYBODY criticized them! And another thing. I LOOOOOOOOOVEEEEE it how its ok for everyone in America to make fun of other ppl across sea's and races like the middle east and blacks and stuff But no! Nononono you can't make fun of America! Like come on suck it up! bunch of twats in America. Like honestly I bet only a slight handful knows what I'm saying! oh and p.s I bet you a billion bucks JB isn't as pure as you think they are!

I Love The Jonas Brothers and completly couldnt stand Russell Brand also something i thought was funny on Hot 99.5 they were talking about the VMA and said they didnt remember the host's name and the other person said his name was Russell Banks LOL LONG LIVE JONAS BROTHERS

Kat (9/14/2008 11:01:12 PM)

Russell Brand is perfectly entitled to make a joke, but it's the Jonas Brothers who really got the better end of this- everyone loved how they were such gentlemen about the whole deal. Props for JB for standing up for what they believe in!

JB IS AMAZING EXAMPLES ... RUSSEL IS JUST HUNGRY FOR FAME AND I UNDERSTAND WHY HE TALKED ABOUT THEM: HES AN ADDICT. JB ROCKS FOREVER IN MY HEART..NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE THAT: NOT EVEN RUSSEL BRAND...I LOVE YOU, NICK.

MTV is so uncool with its collection of mental midgets and filthy dirtbags. If you sit around and still watch it you have to be a total toolbag.
