Nick Jonas Talks Infamous ‘South Park’ Episode

Former boy band clone Nick Jonas has launched a solo career that appears to put him on the road (again) to success. At age 22, the one-time purity ring enthusiast has shed his goody-goody roots in favor of bedding dating starlets like Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, and (currently) Miss Universe 2012, Olivia Culpo. This of course begs the question: What did he think of the 2009 South Park episode that dealt with his vow to wait until marriage before figuring out how to put it in?

Elle has the answer in their May issue, in an interview with the man-child himself, which I stumbled upon while cutting out letters for an unrelated ransom note I’m working on.

“There was so much attention on my sex life at 15. It was uncomfortable,” Jonas said. “If you were talking about a 15-year-old’s sex life or a 17-year-old’s in any other context it would be totally obscene. I wasn’t able to enjoy [the episode] when it came out. But now I think it’s hilarious.”

Of course the very act of wearing a purity ring brings up the topic of sex in both the wearer’s mind and the mind of anyone who sees it, so it’s hard to feel too bad for the guy. Jonas claims it was worn to strengthen or highlight his relationship with God, but if that’s true, then God thinks about little boy sex entirely too much.

Jonas’ album, which I don’t know the name of, came out at some point recently – or is coming out soon, or something. Whatever. Look it up.
