CRITICISM UGH


The Janoskians have been criticised for their reckless, dangerous and juvenile behaviour, and pushing their boundaries too far. Media commentator Prue MacSween stated that, "Their act - if you can call it that - is so juvenile, and I think really irresponsible. It's astounding the power of the internet now. It just tells you that this global audience can be viral and suddenly nobodies with very little talent can suddenly be known by the world."The boys deny that they're being bad role models, arguing everyone realises it's all an act, and in defence of the criticisms they said:

"It’s what we want to do. We want to push the boundaries, we just want the reactions out of people. Each single person that we do it to, we go and say ‘sorry this is what we're doing it for, this is the purpose’ and they're cool with it. If they're not we don’t put it up. We are normal children. The clips are just an act at the end of the day, just entertainment."

Well like it or not,i still love them.The guys,the video,dares,mockumentary,everything.You can give any criticism,everyone deserves some right?So i don't really care.Just FYI.
