Great video!

by Jennifer Couture

For those of you complaining about a "Jonas brother" being in the video, take some time and look at the greater purpose of Jake and Joe's appearences in this. On top of that people would like to incorporate friends in their success. The Jonas brothers arent 'pussies' or any other offensive words you can muster up. They are human beings, teenagers, adults, with friends, just like you and me. Now grow up and pay attention to the stuff that matters on iTunes... Music! Don't let Joe Jonas' appearence in a video affect your opinion on the sound or soul of an artist. He doesn't sing in it, so it shouldnt matter if he's playing tennis in it. Because what you should really be judging him on is his voice. If you don't like it fine! But seeing as he isn't singing in this video, don't comment negetively on him on here. Thank you. And congratulations on all of vampire weekend's success!
