Purity Rings...

I got a whole lot of strong opinions (Ask anyone ^^) but some of my strongest concern the whole Disney Channel business. I think that Walt Disney was a friggin genius that the cartoon/animated/what-you-call-it movies are beautiful and the songs are breathtaking, but I can’t stand Disney Channel and any of its Disney channel stars. Most of them are talentless, brought up in showbizz and overly dramatic. Some of them are okay.

I understand that Christianity is important in the US, and hypocrisy apparently too, but Disney is in my opinion just taking it too far. Really, a purity ring? I do so not believe that for instance those Jonas Brothers are all as ‘’pure’’ as they say they are. The oldest one is married! And he is 22! Dude, everyone must understand that he just wanted sex. According to Wikipedia (Yes, the JoBros are my favourite subject, I google them like... all the time.) they met in 2007. So wait. Imagine you are a 20 year old guy, forced to sing in a boy band with your two younger brothers and under a strict contract with Disney. You are the least attractive one of them( the guy has SIDEBURNS.) , but your target audience of kids (mostly girls...) between 7 and 13 years old doesn’t care about that, and worships you just as much as your brothers. The girls old enough for you to date (16+?) love you anyway because of your helicopter and swimming pools of money. So? You date. But very innocent, the American press is following you. But behind the scenes... And then BAM, you are on a vacation, meet a girl, decide she is THE ONE (to have sex with) and marry her 2 years later. I give it 1,5 year. A nasty divorce and your free! Of Disney, of purity rings and of your brothers. Great plan Kevin.

You get my point? Forcing teenagers to be all God-loving and PUR is marketing a horrible example. Yesyes, kids raised by true Christians, who live by those rules, will find the Disney stars amazing, but people raised by people with other views will laugh at it.

I got respect for Christianity, for staying pure until marriage and for having your own opinions, but I truly hate hypocrisy.
