Going Green. [Haterade]

Welcome to a feature we’ll call “Don’t Drink the Haterade”, in which we spotlight a rude or baseless claim against the Brothers (we don’t fault constructive criticism), and refute it. Yeah, we are probably playing into their hit-grubbing little hands…but it feels so right.

CLAIMANT: BradyDale of eco-blog beanstockd

ALLEGATION:

The Jonas Brothers Vow to do Anything for a Headline: As if the Jonas Brothers weren’t cloying enough with their little “purity rings”, now, they are bragging about driving a ‘green SUV.’ Look, lads: an SUV is an SUV. OK, your Tahoe burns less gas than other SUVs, but not less than a conventional compact. Or a compact hybrid. Thank you for calling.

REFUTATION: It smacks of condescension and nitpicking with irrational prejudice (note the photo with “Comb anyone?” scribbled on it). The fact of the matter is, as he states, the SUV uses less gas. That should make you at least a little happy, ecoboy. What’s the problem? We say cut a little slack on sustainability to a family that has spent the better part of the last year living 7 to a bus.
