The Purity Ring Controversy at What The Jorge?

At last Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards the buzz and controversy were the jokes that host Russell Brand made about the purity rings that the Jonas Brothers wore.

For you non-virgins, a person that wears a purity ring is saving sex for marriage.

“I’d take them a little more seriously if they wore it on their genitals,” Russell Brand mocked.

A few celebrities were not so amused by the jokes, including American Idol alum, Jordin Sparks, who is a fellow purity ring wearer. She even noted in her acceptance speech “It’s not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody, guy or girl, wants to be a slut.”

So is Jordin Sparks trying to say that people that are not wearing promise rings are sluts? If that’s the case, I just brought the sluttage meter over 100%. We’re all going to hell! I personally think purity rings are for people that will never get laid anyways.

Even more shockingly, Paris Hilton voiced support for fellow purity ring wearers. Does anyone see something wrong with this picture now?

Russel Brand later apologized. It must have been from the pressure of upsetting Paris Hilton. I probably would not have been able to sleep at night knowing I upset Paris Hilton.

Some other fellow celebrity purity ring wearers include: Hilary Duff, Selena Gomez & back in the day pre-Nick Lachey “Newlyweds” days, Jessica Simpson wore one.

How comforting!
