257. I am a huge Jonas Brother fan, and I loved Russell Brand as a host. I don't think that he was actually making fun of them or promise rings. It was all good humor, maybe just a little bit too much, but still, you could tell he didn't really mean it in the way that you perceived it. BUt, Jordan Sparks, now Im from Arizona, and I really don't like her, and she is no where famous enough to say something like that. Either way whet she said was rude and tasteless. And you can see kevin smiling when he was apologizing about saying those things. They clearly didn't take it to heart. So why should we? This is the VMA's! Hello we needed something to fill in the famous kiss. Either way I don't see what the big deal is all about.

258. Sorry if I missed the humor in Mr. Brands comedy, I thought it was discusting. Obviously MTV realizes they have also have a younger audience if they have Miley Cyrus and the cast of High School Musical in attendance. I was watching the awards with my kids and was embarassed at Mr. Brands tasteless remarks. The Jonas Brothers are very talented and it is sad Mr. Brand thought he needed to take away from that.

259. Distasteful? Maybe... for primetime network tv. Come on, the VMAs are intended to be controversial. Unfortunately for Brand the host is also intended to be funny. Okay, so the jokes were old (Bush Jokes? at least make them original... calling someone a "retarded cowboy" isn't a joke, it's a 3rd grade insult) and mostly unclever. In fact, the funniest bit Brand had all night was his RESPONSE to Jordan Sparks. So, overall not a great host- sorry, Russell- but does he deserve the backlash for the Jonas Brothers? If it hadn't been about the "almighty-adorable-infallable" Jonas Brothers no one would have batted an eye. Come on, The Jonas Brothers are gonna have to deal with the slanderous Tabloid stories and rude butting-into-your-life comments from paps and strangers just like every other celebrity. Get over it- that's the price for fame.

260. I think Brand was a bit nervous and used jokes that were a bit immature. However The Jonas brothers shouldn't be upset about it at all! If your famous and you let the whole world know your saving yourself till marriage then be prepared to take some heat for it. I couldn't believe when Jordin said that some people aren't slut because they wear purity rings! Good T.V haha and I get what she was trying to say but still could have lost the name calling,

262. Someone ought to take a swipe at the squeaky clean Jonas Brothers. They're tools, & we might as well have our fun before they go down the road of Danny Bonaduce, Gary Coleman, et al & the jokes are too easy to make.

And as for the purity rings.... it's a convenient way of not admitting they like getting tea bagged... by each other.

263. well in my opinion i thought how ridiculous he is criticizing our government when he isnt even from the US he may have been right with some things but even then it ridiculous how he criticizes America basically saying we are dumb because we re-elected Bush although it is true who does he think he is being from the UK coming to the US and criticizing our government
