With the hearts of tens of millions teenage girls wrapped around their fingers like a 24-karat white gold ring inscribed "Bros before harlots - John 8:17," recording industry phenomenon the Jonas Brothers are now looking to conquer other facets of the entertainment realm. Their last movie, a Disney Channel original called Camp Rock, was a ratings bonanza for the network. Now, their leap to the big screen has finally arrived, in the form of a searing drama exploring the emotionally destructive toll canine flatulence can take on a family. Variety reports:

The title character in the "Walter the Farting Dog" books is a fat dog with severe flatulence. The brothers play musicians whose parents are asked to care for the dog by an aunt just before she passes away. "By the time they've driven the dog home, everybody's head is out the window of the family station wagon but Frankie [aka the youngest, "bonus Jonas" brother], and only because he has a serious sinus problem and doesn't notice the stench coming from Walter," said [director] Peter Farrelly.

That the project has even found room for little Frankie Jonas—the Zeppo Marx to his trio of more famous siblings—suggests to us that the filmmakers see in this gaseous terrier story a definitive Jonas brothers franchise, with room for several sequels down the line incorporating other breeds and gastrointestinal problems. Still, we wonder how the band's core fanbase of hormonally charged young females will respond to the scatological material—though we suspect their fanatical preoccupation with anything Jonas-related will soon lead to the new teenybopper fad of toting a farting dog wherever they go, in a pungent effort at emulating their idols.
