The producers of Dancing With The Stars are still smarting from getting trounced in the ratings last week by American Idol, so for tonight’s broadcast they decided to bring out the synergistic big guns: Disney’s own Jonas Brothers will perform a couple of songs, a sneaky bit of counterprogramming that seems designed to entice the preteens who love David Archuleta into changing the channel and engaging in extended arguments over which Jonas is cuter. Alas, this probably won’t entice enough of the creepy old ladies who are crafting in Archie’s name to also switch channels and “forget” to vote for their lip-smacking sweetie, but we can dream, right?
I was going to use the rest of this post as an extended treatise on who should ultimately be the 16/Bop crowd’s first pick, but then, while looking for illustrations, I came across this photo:
Yes, that’s the Jonases (Jonii?) upstaging the President of the United States. I think we know who wins, fridge magnets or no.

That second JB photo is from yesterday’s annual “Easter Egg Roll” on the South Lawn of the White House grounds. For reasons I’ve never understood, they do this on the DAY AFTER Easter — ya know, when we’re already sick of painted eggs and chocolate bunnies and whatnot. Anyways, the Jonases sang the national anthem at the event. Troy Aikman also was there, but please don’t ask me why.

@Rob Murphy: you want the president to work on a sunday? what are you, a commie?
The Jonai (that’s the proper spelling) totally win.
David Archuleta looks *just* like Ryan Lambert from Kids Incorporated (in the cast with Fergie…now currently of Elephone). Who I loved when I was 8…but this loses points as it is not 1987 anymore.
Oh the Jonas Bros. It’s weird. With every ad placement, name mention, and quick flash on my television screen, [and especially after reading this article: [men.style.com] ] I’m all “okay, just exactly what is this band all about/” but for some reason the buck stops there. I have yet to make an effort/listen to a song/truly give a damn. So thank you ABC for making this easy for me, for I will be tuning in tonight. Why? Cause curiosity is killing this cat.
