Watchando: Is A Fan Of Jordin Spark's Purity Ring, As Long As Its Around A Cock

jordin_9.8.08.jpg

  • At the VMAs, former “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks said Promise Rings are great because “not everybody –- guy or girl –- wants to be a slut.” Being a judgmental, self-righteous asshole is still cool, though. [People]
  • Madonna, still living on the edge of a tax bracket you can only dream of, dedicated “Like a Virgin” to the pope. [SMH]
  • Lindsay Lohan wants to have a baby. Because teacup Yorkies wiggle too much when you try to dress then up in little bumble bee costumes. [NOTW]
  • Ashlee Simpson’s having twins. Humans, presumably. [E! Online]
  • Gary Coleman ran after some guy with his car. He fell off his phone book, we guess. [TMZ]
  • The Spanish riding school in Vienna accepted their first female riders, in like, ever. What were Viennese women even doing for the past 436 years? Oh right, eating sachertorte. [Reuters]

    So now being abstinent makes you an asshole? What hispanic household did you grow up in? Lavate la boca, sucios!

    I wouldn’t say being abstinent makes you an asshole. Judging people who choose not to be abstinent and calling them sluts is what makes you an asshole.

    Instead of doing the right and responsible thing in supporting and praising these famous teens for finally promoting and being outspoken for something positive, you take the easy (and more disgraceful) road by ridiculing them and encouraging one of the very things that our culture struggles with, teen pregnancy. Keep up the great work, bee.

    So I guess that makes our parents, abuelos, tias, and tios assholes too, right?

    @ Jonathon: What Denise said. I never said being abstinent makes anyone an asshole. But calling people who have sex “sluts” does. I don’t really care what Jordin Sparks does with her vagina. And it troubles me that she cares what I do with mine.

    Plus I’m fairly sure my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are not abstinent and are assholes for myriad reasons that have nothing to do with sex.

    I respect anybody who decides to remain a virgin until marriage, be it a celebrity or not…
    I chose not to wait till marriage..but that doesnt make me a slut
    What is a slut anyway? Whose definition of slut are we using? Lets stop with the labels..seriously.

    @ Jonathan: “So I guess that makes our parents, abuelos, tias, and tios assholes too, right?”

    Well, if they were to judge someone on the basis that they have premarital sex, then why should they be off limits? Assholes are someone’s parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, too.

    Just because someone has sex doesn’t make them a “slut”…what a sanctimonious bitch.

    So that fool that was ragging on the Jonas Brothers wasn’t a judgemental asshole? Jordin was just defending a different point of view. I give her major props for coming to their defense. You go girl!

    @ Gwenny: Sure, the host was an asshole. He is a self-proclaimed asshole, after all. However, it does not cancel out the fact that people who call people sluts just because they are sexually active are assholes, too.

    She could have easily defended herself and others who wear a promise ring, without insulting the vast majority of single, non-married people. But, like Guanabee pointed out, she decided to take Asshole Road instead.

    This is pretty funny since we are starting to see the failures of abstinence only education in our country.

    I say that being abstinent is cool. Being prepared and knowledgeable when you decide not to be abstinent is better.

    Using your celebrity status as a platform from which to amplify your sexual practices is tacky. Elevating your self over others because of THEIR personal/sexual choices seems like an asshole move to me.

    well, it’s kind of silly of Jordin considering britney spears and jessica simpson are the founding members of celebrity purity rings. we all see how those 2 turned out.

    Sarah Palin’s daughter isn’t a slut … but her boyfriend is!

    Anybody wanna silkscreen that on a few t-shirts? We could put them on a few moose up in Alaska, and take really cute pictures not unlike dogs wearing party hats.

    Abstinence: the only abs that aren’t sexy.

    And who says that virgins aren’t sluts? I knew lots of people who claimed to be virgins and they gave plenty of blow jobs. You can remain a virgin and also be very sexually active… even a “slut” by some definitions.

    Best HED evar!

    @latinprincess - virgins are sexually pure. the ones you are describing def aren’t virgins

    good job guanabee, pat on the back for demeaning the values of others and calling them self righteous judgmental assholes. not everybody thinks the way you do.

    “So now being abstinent makes you an asshole?”

    No, it just makes you horny.

    So Guanabee says standing up and voicing your sexual desires is AWESOME — oops, so long as you’re not choosing NOT to have sex. Then you’re just a prude. And judgmental. And of course judgmental is when you decide to get all snarky about someone’s choices.

    OK people who obviously aren’t getting it:

    An example of defending oneself: “I wear a promise ring, because I want to wait until marriage to have sex. That’s my choice.”

    An example of belittling others because others are not following her choice: “It’s not bad to wear a promise ring, because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut.”

    Guanabee is not cracking jokes on her for being a virgin, they are cracking jokes on her because she’s a self-righteous asshole who thinks that single, unmarried sexually active people are sluts. Really, is it that hard to comprehend?

    So, to recap:

    Host of VMAs ridiculing Jonas Brothers (or whatever the hell their names are) for their sexual choices = totally cool, right on

    Friend of Jonas Brothers sticking up for their sexual choices = total prude and a bitch who should shut up

    VMA host using demeaning, belittling language about their sexual choices = totally cool, right on

    Friend of Jonas brothers using demeaning, belittling language about others sexual choices = total prude and a bitch who should shut up

    Sounds like Guanabee lays it our pretty well. Got it.

    “Sounds like Guanabee lays it our pretty well.”

    Ummm….can we all agree that Gotit messed up this sentence a little? I’d like to propose a grammatical correction:

    Sounds like Guanabee lays it, our pretty, well.

    I guess “our pretty” must be some sort of sexual object, akin to “my preciousssss” in Lord of the Rings. And because it’s “our” instead of “my,” it’s referring to Guanabee’s proclivity for group sex. With objects.

    You SLUTS!
