BRAND FORCED TO APOLOGISE FOR PURITY RING JOKES

Host RUSSELL BRAND was forced to apologise for poking fun at the JONAS BROTHERS' morals during Sunday night's (07Sep08) MTV Video Music Awards - after a public dressing down from singer JORDIN SPARKS.
The British comedian mocked the pop sensations mercilessly for more than half the show for their no-sex-before-marriage promise and the purity rings they wear.
At one point, he even pretended he'd stolen a Jonas brothers' virginity as he held a ring in his hand.
Sparks, who is among the teen stars putting purity before sex, admonished Brand for his remarks, stating, "It's not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody, guy or girl, wants to be a slut."
Minutes later, a crestfallen Brand apologised, saying, "I've gotta say sorry because I said those things about promise rings; that was bad of me. I didn't mean to take it lightly."
Brand added, "I love Jonas Brothers, I think it's (purity) really good. I don't want to piss off teenage fans... Promise rings, I'm well up for it, well done everyone."
But he couldn't resist a final jab, adding, "It's just, a bit of sex occasionally never hurt anybody."

"It's not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody, guy or girl, wants to be a slut." I just wanted to add, that being sexually responsible does not necessitate abstinance or the wearing of bulls**t 'promise rings'! Jordin Sparks' comment suggests that the choice is either remain a virgin or be a slut! Surely there is some middle ground there somewhere?!
