Josh DuLac Is In Trouble

Why? Because the WaPo music critic has offended legions of Jonas Brothers fans (not an oxymoron, apparently):

The in-box of The Washington Post’s pop music critic, J. Freedom du Lac, was reduced to smoldering cinders yesterday, flamed by e-mails from readers angry at his characterization of Kevin Jonas, eldest of the chart-topping Jonas Brothers.

In a profile of the pop group yesterday, du Lac identified the brothers as ” Nick Jonas (15; the cute one), Joe Jonas (nearly 19; the hot one) and Kevin Jonas (20; the other one).” He also said Kevin “has the misfortune — or, perhaps, the great fortune — of being in a band with two guys who tend to overshadow him.”

These words caused offense in the Jonas community.

The editors have decided that it’s only fair to give the fans their say. Several of the dissenting e-mails are printed below, with unorthodox spelling and punctuation intact.

As for du Lac and his immediate supervisor, they have been chastised severely and ordered to spend the rest of the week reorganizing Bob Woodward’s scrapbook.
