MTV Does It AgainToday, there's good news and bad news.
MTV posted an article mutually apologizing for their ingenuity on yesterday's Buzzworthy article.
But they also pointed fingers at the raving fans who were bold enough to speak their minds! Fair or no fair? Feel free to comment.

What's next? Will they kidnap Joe, Nick, and Kevin and lock them up with Bill and the gang? Will they all sit restlessly in a padlocked room, thinking about whether they should shrug things off and go home, or fight it out? No wonder Bill says "Rescue me" and the famous JoBros are giving out an "SOS"!? Maybe we should just leave them alone.

Actually, "we" are. We support the bands, defend their music, the honorable and noble stuff. But MTV, tsk tsk tsk, MTV, you are definitely the cause of this! You are the root of these unnecessary online battles, and us responsible and street-smart fans would ask you to stop, but then there wouldn't be much to write about, would there?

The Nerve (and Genius) of MTVTen Great Things This Article Did for MTV:

They cause controversy by posting a sweet, innocent picture of the Jonas Brothers, and then a sexy, bold one of Tokio Hotel. So any protective parents lurking behind the computer screen will mutually shun Tokio Hotel from the tweens/teens minds. However, I must add that I am proud of the Jonas Brothers and their purity rings. It's a smart, bold, and unique thing to do =)

Brought lots of comments to the site. Here's a good one, "Go Tokio Hotel....making these things happen!!!! Go TH.....and NOt the JB ewwww." (made by THfurimmer). The majority of people to comment bashed the Jonas Brothers, but a few had not-so-nice things to say about Tokio Hotel. " TOKIE HOTEL IS FULL OF UGLY ASS SCENE KIDS! JONAS BROTHERS ALL THE ~$**$#? WAYYYYY!". Well, I can't help but notice that this person only took one glance at Tokie Hotel and decided that Tokie Hotel was, you know...

Brought lots of hits to the article. There has been common knowledge that many people, usually not a fan of either band, think that the Jonas Brothers and Tokio Hotel are comparable. Since both are extremely entertaining and chart-topping bands, Googling this topic is a thing most fans do. This article just officially announced JB & TH comparable.

Brought more publicity to the Jonas Brothers as well as MTV. Most interviewers/reporters will overlook Tokio Hotel's qualities, but will note the Jonas Brothers, as they are more well known in America. Thus, more people will come to MTV to get information on the Jonas Brothers, rather than Tokio Hotel. Is this fair? Well, at least they were mentioned =)

Labeled TH and & JB. Now Tokio Hotel will be the "bad boy band" because of the above picture, and the Jonas Brothers will be the "tween sensations". Who cares? If you're thirty and have a thing for Joe, that's cool! And if you are Jewish and can't stop listening to "Final Day" then that's what you want to do! Now fans of both bans will have an edgy side when it comes to related MTV articles. Thus, more publicity, comments, and hits for the site.

Congratulations to the chap who thought of this. Hope you got a raise!
