Jonas Brothers terrorists? The keffiyeh conspiracy…
July 15th, 2008 . by Marty
For anyone over the age of 16 or younger than 3, you may not be aware that the biggest influence on the youth of today are the squeaky-clean Disney-manufactured boy band, the Jonas Brothers. Yes, they’re cute, but why is it that even in the wake of the recent Rachael Ray controversy, Disney is still parading the boys out proudly wearing keffiyehs?
Sure, some conspiracy theorists will no doubt trot out the boys’ Christian upbringing, Disney’s alleged history of anti-semitism, or some sleeper-cell conspiracy from Al Quaeda. But I reject such poppycock. Chances are, the brothers have been too curled up in their Disney incubator to be aware of the cultural insensitivity involved when you wear a keffiyeh in the manner of Hezbollah. Is Kevin Jonas (aka “The Romantic One”) trying to seduce America’s young girls into being the next generation of Hamas sympathizers? Probably not. But why take the chance? (My advice: if you really need to hide a hickey, stick to the Charles Nelson Reilly ascot.)
While Disney does damage control on their last manufactured popstar - throwing poor Miley “Hannah Montana” Cyrus under the proverbial JoBros tourbus because of a few indiscreet cellphone pictures - they should think about the bigger image they’re projecting with their newest stars. Or maybe they are? There are over a billion Muslims in the world, and probably not all of them have bought their Jonas Brothers lunchboxes…yet.
Update July 17th: This post has apparently created quite the uproar. See today’s post for more.
Hi,
I’m just getting started with my new blog. Would you want to exchange links on our blog-rolls?
BTW - I’m up to about 100 visitors per day.
Linked back to this post. I will see if I can find others to spread this too, my wife may push it to LGF spin-off links.
I agree about the whole keffiyeh thing in the US, but our teen age daughter is in Israel right now touring with a group of Jewish teens organized by an American Jewish Zionist group. They email pictures of the kids every few days and sure enough some of the boys are horsing around in keffiyehs. Color me confused.
To Shifra - I would say that posing with a Keffiyeh after a camel ride trip in Israel is quite different than just wearing it on photo-shoots by teen idols. The latter is clearly an attempt to promote a certain fashion - one which should not be acceptable due to what it represents.
“Radical Left” will always be chic in fashion and Disney will always seek to maximize their profits.
The thought police are at it again. Seriously, find something more important to obsess over. It’s a scarf. The only ones who see a rabid terrorist promoting agenda are YOU. Go do something genuinely patriotic, oh keyboard kommandoes!
They can’t pull it off nearly as well as John McCain’s daughter does.
[…] people have way too much time on their hands!! I just found an article that talks about the Jonas Brothers being terrorists and wearing keffiyehs in an improper manner. […]
OMG.
seriously, its a scarf!!
they were them cuz they look good on them!
who would even think about something like that??
they are the CLEANEST boy band ive ever heard of.
you should be worring about more serious stuff in the world and back off of the jonas brothers!!!

This is blown waaaay out of proportion. It’s a fraking scarf. It’s RIDICULOUS to call them terrorists. I mean hello Nick wants to run for President some day! To cause America damage? I think not. Just because they look like what would be whatever you think terrorists wear (the scarf), doesn’t mean you should automaticall label them as “terrorists”.
