Cast to the background of the Spears/Brand/promise ring hype that lavished the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night was the small victory for Britain’s The Tings Tings.
The terrifically tuneful twosome from Manchester pipped Coldplay and Cowell-backed behemoth Leona Lewis to take home the ‘moon man’ for Best UK Video.
Jules De Martino and Katie White were also nominated against Duffy and Estelle but won the award for their single 'Shut Up And Let Me Go' (a video that looks a lot like ‘Seven Nation Army’ to the author).
They’re minute contribution to the evening’s lip-syncing success was cast into the shadows by Britney Spears as she took her first baby steps back into the limelight after the world last saw her being bundled into an ambulance and her children ripped from her then ample bosom.
Other moments of interest came when Russell Brand, the evening’s host, decided to take the opportunity to call on America to elect Barak Obama President and then rip the piddle out of promise rings and the virgins who decide to their lilywhite innocence on their sleeve.
Wet, Christian, homeschoolers The Jonas Brothers, who performed on the night, are proud wearers of promise rings (made infamous by the organisation The Silver Ring Thing) and appeared to take grave offense when Brand sordidly declared he was looking to collect all three pieces of jewelry from the three before the night was through.
On learning the error of his ways the camp cockney duke of homoeroticism apologised and carried on with the show, a spectacle and preceding line of gags a lot funnier than Jamie Foxx’s Busta Rhymes impression.
The rings indicate to the outside world that the owners are against pre-martial sex and have been the subject of much controversy in the US, not least for cashing in on the middle American belief system (this link is a parody of the extremist Christian religion, Westboro Baptist Church).
Britney took away three gongs (Best Pop Video, Best Female Video and Best Video) for 'Piece Of Me' and thanked "God first and foremost for just blessing me like this".
She must be oblivious to the fact that the world has seen her go from pop princess to drug addled divorcee in a matter of months. Not exactly a blessing some might say.

Deano, I'm so happy that you heart Britney too...not long now till we get her greatest hits dvd in the front room and we learn the dances.
I don't know I think the promise ring hype they should have left the people alone that they were making fun of.
I mean is this 3rd grade again and we pick on the poor or fat kid.
I know, I know, the comedians are getting paid so its OK.

People wanting to wait is very well and good but when they start to feel pushed into it because it's the 'in' thing to do or because sites like yours push the ideology into the realms of commercialism it's pretty rancid behaviour. Everyone should be entitled to a free choice without pressures and bias from other parties.
Piece done.
Dean.
