The tween juggernaut that is the The Jonas Brothers were in D.C. today for the unveiling of their new wax figures at Madame Tussauds. Tonight, they play the Nissan Pavilion. Between now and then, photographer James Calder hopes his ears recover from the screams of the group's fans along the red carpet downtown this afternoon.
For those of you who don't read Teen People, The Jonas Brothers are the biggest boy band in the country right now. They're also famously Evangelical Christians who all wear "purity rings" to symbolize their vows to wait until marriage to have sex.
Jonas Brothers fans screamed and sang along with the words of Jonas Brothers songs being played to get them riled up before the unveiling of wax statues of the boys at Madame Tussauds. (James Calder)
At today's event, there were several false alarms when the crowd believed the brothers were about to be "unveiled," leading to prolonged screaming from the throng. When the Brothers finally appeared, they posed together with their statues for about five minutes before making a hasty exit -- which caused the mass of people to press forward to get one last look, nearly crushing each other.
Once the boys had gone, fans were able to take photos with the wax likenesses. Best overheard quote of the event, from a fan as she posed with the statues: "I know they're not real, but I still love them."

I don't get it.
Then again, I'm not a 13 yo girl.
OMG! OMG! OMG!
the iq levels amongst the three are roughly equivalent, right? although i'm guilty of being NKOTB's biggest fan. ah, the cruelty of puberty.
Three purity rings to rule them all, three rings to find them, three rings to bring them all and in crappy evangelical rock bind them.
Send these guys back to the bowels of Disney where they were forged.
Are they still pure if they have gay butt sex?
I'm pretty sure the Southern Christian Leadership Council, as well as the All-Union Evangelical Council and the Vatican have condemned the butthole as "Satan's puckered tailpipe."
Fagbashing's still a sacrament though, according to Ezekiel 25:17.
I'm so happy my early teens were spent in a teeny-bopper-less time period. What's worse than this overly-produced horrible music being popular is that it's a new way for the cult evangelicals to infect children with their poison. I hate disney, they should have stuck to Mickey Mouse.....
Dan Savage should be all over this one.
Damn! Why didn't someone tell me the Apocalypse had arrived? I had to hear it this way?
Ugh!
