No sex sells. Britney knows that virginity equals publicity

Apparently, pop band the Jonas Brothers announced that they ‘made promises to ourselves and to God that we’ll stay pure until marriage.’ So says Us magazine. Um, couldn’t you have kept that to your private prayers instead of making a public statement? God is everywhere, you know. The Rage recoils at this trend in young celebs going on about their purity. It certainly didn’t help Britney Spears to claim that she was a virgin -- especially since her attorney called it a ‘PR blitz.’ Haylie Duff, Miley Cyrus and Jessica Simpson have all -- at one time or another -- spoken about their abstinence. Is it really necessary to enlighten us on your sexuality? Or is it just a ploy for more publicity? Oh, and a recent study found that teens who pledge to be virgins have the same amount of STDs as non-virgins. The Rage can only assume that all those virgins aren’t just making out with their pillows.
