Today in adolescent menaces: People reports that the New York Police Department is very nervous about New Year's Eve in Times Square, because one of the performances on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve is the Jonas Brothers, the Disney-driven pop trio made up of (left to right in this photo) Tall Hair Jonas, Flat Hair Jonas, and Jonas Who Looks Like Tom Hanks In Bosom Buddies.

What could happen, after the jump...

What could this mean? The police fear a mob scene. The screaming, the crying, the trampling of cell phones with rhinestones glued on them.

All of which is rather strange, because Times Square on New Year's Eve is crawling with drunks.

The Jonas Brothers are a Disney Channel act. No one who is interested in personnel promoted on the Disney Channel should be in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

If you are in Times Square on New Year's Eve to see the Jonas Brothers, your biggest problem is not the presence of too many other Jonas Brothers aficionados. It is the presence of too many other people who have had eight beers and are wearing paper hats and blowing into their cell phones after mistaking them for festive noisemakers.
