Kenny has a new girlfriend and her name is Tammy. When the boys find out she's a bit of a slut, they feel the need to tell him. Rather than being upset about it, Kenny is ecstatic. After hearing she's this way because of the Jonas Brothers, Kenny buys two tickets to their next show in Denver. His plans are quickly diminished after the Jonas Brothers give Tammy a purity ring.

Episode Quotes
 
Jimmy: If you guys found out my girlfriend was a raging whore, I’d want you to tell me.
 
Cartman: Statistically speaking, the most bacteria-ridden place on the planet is the mouth of an American woman! And you're gonna let that near your penis?
 
Butters: Hey fellas! I heard that Kenny is still going out with that slut Tammy Warner.
Kyle: Yeah, but it's okay Butters. They have purity rings now.
Butters: Uh, what's that?
Stan: They're rings that says they're not gonna have sex or do anything naughty anymore.
Butters: Huh.. a ring that says you'll be together but not have sex. Isn't that called a wedding ring?
 
TV Host: You like takin' the Jonas Brothers' hot foam in your faces, girls?
