I have repeatedly read the interview in this month's Good Housekeeping with Denise Jonas and everytime I read it, I swear it sounds like she is saying her kids have an STD. I mean I know that can't be true, but she needs to choose her words more carefully. Oh, and I also think she has caught them using the bathroom for an hour at a time if you know what I mean. The whole thing is a little creepy. Not creepy like Joe dressing up as Beyonce, but still creepy.
"They are men. They have desires. They have testosterone," Denise says of Kevin, 21, Joe, 19 and Nick, 16. "If they make a mistake, I'm not going to hate them. I don't think they're above or beyond being seduced."
What she is saying there is that she has walked in on them maybe you know, umm, yeah, enjoying watching Hannah Montana just a little too much if you know what I mean. I would get creeped out if my mom started talking about my desires and being seduced.
This is the STD part though. See, what you think. She is talking about how people criticize them for wearing purity rings. "They've been criticized for proclaiming things they never proclaimed. And what's the criticism?" she asks. "They don't want to go out there giving everyone an STD? What's so terrible about that?"
So is she saying they already have STD's or that as soon as they have sex with these Hollywood women they will get an STD? Were they all planning on taking a turn with Paris? Does she think as soon as you have sex you get an STD? Maybe some of you can figure it out because I have no idea what she is saying.
She sounds like my mom, who would repeatedly proclaim, "Boys give you STDS!" anytime I would want to go out to the movies with some friends, as if being in the general vicinity of boys automatically makes Chlamidia attach to your genital areas.
ReplyDeleteI think she's one of those "old school" moms trying to adjust to the fact that she has 3 very famous sons.
Mom needs some media training. Or else next time she'll be going off in the Ladies' Home Journal about Joe, "you know, the gay one"...
ReplyDeleteI agree. It does sound like she's saying they have STDs.
ReplyDelete"I don't think they're above or beyond being seduced." Um, so if they have sex, it's because someone seduces them, not the other way around? How wonderful these men with desires are.
Hmmm I just read it as why are people criticizing them for making a statement that they don't go out having sex with a lot of people which can result in STD's and spreading them. Still a stupid way to phrase it but I don't read it as her saying they HAVE std's.
ReplyDeleteYUP..AND YOU GET PREGNANT FROM SHARING A SODA....I LOVED THAT ONE...
ReplyDeleteObviously, she is saying that she understands that women are throwing themselves at the boys and even if they are virgins now, she isn't going to fault them if they have a "slip."
ReplyDeleteI think she is also saying that the rock and roll lifestyle is a major infestation of STD known to man and if they were to get involved in that, then yes, they would contract and spread STDs.
I'm a mom and she sounds like a good mom and don't think it's creepy. She is saying, look, I'm their mom, but I'm not living in the dark. They have desires like any other man if it happens, it happens. She just hopes they don't start banging every groupie that throws themselves at them, which I cannot blame her.
I find it most interesting that "they don't want to go out there giving EVERYONE an STD." Not girls or women but EVERYONE. Hmmmmmm... A minute ago they were virginal cherubs; now they are out banging anything that doesn't move fast enough. Not nearly as boring.
ReplyDeleteHow upset are the boys with Mom for that interview.
ReplyDelete"Mom, you said we had STD's?"
" I maent that you didn't give every hussy who smiled at you flowers."
Joe hangs head "Mom that's FTD. STD means sexually transmitted disease."
Gasp " In the bathroom with you young man. You need to sit in their with the soap.You said that bad word. S-E-X is only spelled in our house."
Nick whispers- "That's what Dad always says You tell him too."
aww, give her a break. she's just not media savvy. it's not that big a deal. as corny as those boys are, whatevs, they can't be all bad. they're not being lindsay and they're not beating up women. meh. leave them be.
ReplyDeleteJoe's gay? Isn't Joe the one who is looking for a condo with Camilla Belle?
ReplyDeletei think what she is saying is that sex=std.
ReplyDeleteor maybe, they do have stds...perhaps she has one, and thus passed it on to her children.
...yeah, i am confused.
i think the jonas brothers are aliens anyway.
So does this mean they aren't into the purity thing? The boys are screwing around LOL.
ReplyDeletelol at ardleigh "Mom, that's FTD."
ReplyDeleteJoe dancing to Beyonce is DISTURBING (and really puts to rest those gay rumors)
Ice Angel, I'd agree with you except you used "rock and roll lifestyle" as an example to describe the boys. I think that is a MAJOR exaggeration of the "lifestyle" the Jonas Bros are living. After concerts instead of having groupies and drugs, they're updating facebook and twitter and playing yahtzee. Rock on, boys!
ReplyDeleteLike Pookie said (and a few others), the woman isn't media savvy. I realize that it's fun to take an innocent statement and twist it to make it more interesting or inflammatory, but then there's just plain stupid. Like a mother is going to a)be aware of her grown son's STD, and b)like she's going to let it be known to the general population.
ReplyDeleteCome on. *snore*
maybe she means getting someone pregnant.
ReplyDeletethe ultimate in std. srsly.
i kid, i kid.
mom needs to get a clue, those boys got a taste a long time ago, just like Miley.
ReplyDeletequeer or not, just fuck off already. i'm so over the Jonai.
I can see maybe one having an STD, but all 3?
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! @ ardleigh and LOL! @ Lutefisk.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, today's CDAN is the funniest! I was laughing sooooo loud at this article! I do not like The Jonas Bro's, but I love their mom! She's soooo cute and naive and funny without trying to be. I think we all know she didn't mean that her boys have STD's, but the way she worded it sounds exactly like if they did. Oh man, gotta love her...
They are NOT "men"....they're "manlets"--and one can still, legitimately be called a "boy".
ReplyDeleteMom's should never talk that way about their children to anyone who's not family...CREEEEEEEEEEPY.
my previous comment got lost and don't feel like trying to re-create the magic :(
ReplyDeleteanyway, i think mom is trying to say: sex=std's the same way kissing=babies.
Werent the jonei the answer to that blind about the relateed brothers and enty wrote something like ' purity, what a joke, done it, done it, hasnt done it' with the unanimous answer from us all being the jonas bros. I dont remeber who we said was still the virgin, hmmmmm, maybe the middle one? Cause fo sho little nick has done it with slut-o miley and older kevin has the sleaze face but sweet middle joe looks like he would cry if he touched a girls thigh, thats my guess

ReplyDeleteYeah, I think we all agreed they were the answer to that blind.
ReplyDeleteDavid D - you made me laugh out loud at work, they are all staring at me now... :)
The last time I saw them was a few months ago. I thought it was the best concert that I had ever been to even that concerts tickets price was high sky maybe Coz I used not to research enough to see if there were better pricing. But now I can save some dollars via after finding this:
