Russell Brand might be the best thing to ever happen to purity rings. The brash British comedian was pounded by Jonas Brothers fans after mocking their purity rings during MTV’s Video Music Awards show a few weeks back.

Jason Burtt, national director of Silver Ring Thing, a program that asks teens to pledge to remain virgins until marriage had this to say.

Nothing negative, but mostly positive support from all over the country from people interested in the program. While this Christian organization doesn’t sell purity rings, they do run more than 70 programs a year for teens in which they spread a message of abstinence until marriage, offering a ring to those who complete the course.

For their part Nick Jonas told the BBC…

For us, it’s cool to see that he recognizes we are gentlemen.

Brother Kevin was equally complimentary, saying…

We had a lot of friends there, and everybody’s so nice. We had a good time.

The Jonas Brothers may be young, they may be making and playing pop songs to mainstream audiences, but you can’t deny they’re staying true to who they are and where their heart lies through it all.
