May 19, 2009 - scheme on Jonas Brothers
Wake Up People

I've debated with myself a few times over the merits of reviewing a "group" like this, because I understand who their target crowd is. If you're a teenage girl and you're reading this, please understand that you simply don't get it. You don't understand that things like this are bigger than your love of The Jonas Brothers. Having said that, this is aimed at your parents.

Parents, you have got to wake up. These kids are not representative of "good Christian values"; these kids are a product made to seem innocent enough so that Disney can sell sex to your children right under your nose. Are you aware that the Jonas Brothers use hoses to shoot white foam on the people at their concerts? Doesn't this seem a bit, I don't know, offensive to you? In case you didn't know, here's a link to it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjdyiNp7dOo

Who knows when the link will go down - Disney aggressively protects their intellectual property because they know that parents don't go to Jonas Brothers concerts. They know parents don't want to see this stuff happening to their kids.

Let's think about this - three "cute boys" who do pelvic thrusts and shoot foam over their crowds at pelvic level. Disney is selling sex to your children but it's okay because they're wearing purity rings, right? Getting girls to be addicted to the Jonas Brothers is a great way to sell merchandise (those "purity rings" are making them a pretty penny at $20-$45 a pop, by the way). The Jonas Brothers are "hot" to them, which makes it a lot easier for them to want to buy the concert tickets and the shirts and the fanclub memberships. People would be outraged if not for the purity rings that Disney has them wear. Disney knows that the second parents see those rings and hear about their "positive music" that their brains turn off and they no longer actively police the things Disney does behind their backs. Companies like Disney have convinced you that you can just leave your kids in their hands and they will protect them, but they won't. Disney knows that your children will eventually get too old for them and so they're only interested in getting as much out of them as they can. After that they're on their own. Do you think Disney cares what kind of morals people have if they aren't buying Disney products?

I understand that you don't want your kids addicted to drugs or alcohol, and instead to have good values. Everyone wants that, but what you have to understand is that kids WILL learn about this. You can not shield them from the world, and you shouldn't want to. The quickest way to get a kid interested in doing something is to tell them they can't or shouldn't. Teaching them about things in a positive way diffuses the situation and makes them able to handle themselves better. Abstinence programs have been proven to have absolutely no effect on kids, and DARE has been proven to persuade kids to do drugs instead of stop them. If you keep your kid in the dark for eighteen years, what do you think happens once they go to college? They ARE going to learn about the world, and many of them have no idea how to handle themselves once they get out there. As such, many end up abusing substances because it's what mom and dad didn't want them to do. Let's look at the kids that Disney has "taken care of" in the past - Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Jessica Simpson. Do you really want your kids to turn out like them?

Ultimately, what your children learn is based off of what YOU do. Nothing, not even Disney, can replace good parenting. Pay attention to what Disney's teaching them and you might learn it's a bit more than you might want.

No, They are not emo

dressing like you are emo doesn't necessarily mean they are emo.
learn what the meaning of emo is.

Jun 27, 2008 - Bingo Book on Jonas Brothers
Yeah, They're Emo

Thats the whole goal with the look. People can argue otherwise, but Disney knows how to sell people, and at this point in time, thats emo.

Everyone who seems to argue this is missing the key tenant of any Disney property, and that is that if they would make enough money off of it, they would even stage an upset with people over their own morality clause over what is obviously PG 13 ala Hanna Montana.

The Republic

Very good mix of rock/pop songs. Apologize mix is one of my fav.

Amazing

The Jonas Brothers are one of a kind. They are not emo by any means. They are a strong rock/pop band that is contagious after you hear one of their song on the radio. I am going to this event, and i recommend it to any one who loves good music. These boys grew up in a very strong christian home, wear Purity Rings, and about every girl in America is in love with them. I repeat.. TEHY ARE NOT EMO!!!!!!! Emo people scream into the microphones, and sing about dying and cutting themselves. In this case, these boys do not do that. They are not emo. They are POP/ROCK. Not any of that emo scremo crap. Just go to youtube and watch some of their videos. You will soon find out why thier tickets to every event they are at, is sold out in less then 5 minutes.

Twinkle, Little Pop Star

No, there's not much here we've haven't seen before. It isn't about us. It's about Disney. While many of the company's other works (e.g. Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid) maintain a relatively timeless appeal, pop stars must be forever young, and kids today know Justin Timberlake as some old guy with a shaved head, Britney as a tragedy, the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync as... who?

Another Hanson?

This looks like an Emo version of Hanson.

By that I mean Hanson had the looks of a kiddie hair band, and were emo. Maybe these kids look Emo and will act like an 80's hair band? This could be pretty funny...
