our anonymous submitter in pittsburgh says this note was sitting atop a copy-room filing cabinet — and a stack of 50 or so identical print-outs of the jo bros. “guess someone in the office is on team taylor swift!”

Someone has run out of printer ink recently!
I’ve seen printers that cost less than some ink cartridges!

Maybe Anon Copier can make up signs asking if anyone has seen his JoBro papers.

Well, guess who just screwed herself out of an invite to the office’s big Jonas Bros/Mongolian BBQ potluck next week?

If you are gainfully employed at an office then you are too damn old to be a fan of the Jonas Brothers. Team Grow up and listen to decent music!

The Jonas brothers resolve to no longer squander the resources of the planet by no longer making crappy tween music cd’s and decreasing their carbon foot print by canceling all future tours.

The pics are similar, but not identical.
If you stack them up together and flip the top corner with your thumb, Joe sings “…that’s just the way we roll,” while Nick and Kevin dance.

In a office complex copy machine room somewhere Al Gore is holding hands with an Lakota chief. A single tear runs down their cheeks.

While I agree that Jonas brothers, indeed, are a waste of good eggs and sperm, how are their parents going to get that note? The author should’ve mailed it to them, not just left it on top of a random filing cabinet.

Claw, Paul McCartney is going to be pissed if he stumbles on PAN and finds out you’ve declared him dead.
It’s the Paul is Dead hoax all over again!

Time to toss out the interns. Seriously…such teeny love should be picked up at the interview stage. I blame HR for being lazy.

I was just reading an article on these creepy little bastards. Another icky mob of bible-thumping promise keepers, wearing rings that symbolize the vow of chastity they took for their parents. GROSS!
My dad didn’t try to cock block me, and I’m sure as hell not going to cock block my son. Or my daughter, for that matter. I don’t believe that sex is better when you get older–have you seen Taylor Swift? Best to hit that now before she starts looking like Tanya Tucker—no, sex is better when you get better at it. And that takes practice. Lots and lots of practice.
Yeah, I’m sure that whoever marries one of these Jonas Bros is going to be really happy with the wedding night premature ejaculation followed by six months of awkward, self-conscious love-making. Sure, Miley Cyrus is plenty cute and pretty soon she’ll be legal but what good is cute and virginal when she’s going to have all those hang ups about what and where you’re sticking things? Nope. Give me a dirty little slut any day. I like a girl who knows how to do the nasty and I know you ladies out there feel the same way.

Damn, if you’re gonna waste paper on people who suck as much balls as the Jonas Brothers, at least put more than one picture on the page and cut down on the amount of tree you’re devoting to suckage.

The suspicious lack of a derogatory name such as “jackass” or “poopy-head” on the end of that passive aggressive note makes me doubt its sarcastic value.
Maybe the PAN writer actually likes to compliment via Sharpie rather than face to face, and the office is littered with notes like, “Great TPS report!” and “Someone refilled the coffee, way to go!”
Of course, they’d have to be let go when they wrote across someone’s forehead, “You look radiant today!” in permanent ink, but them’s the breaks for being kind.

If the person who printed those is anything like some of the students I go to school with, they didn’t realize that the printer was out of paper (or perhaps jammed) and instead just kept sending the damn thing to print over and over again, becoming increasingly frustrated that their precious print was not coming out instead of -GASP- checking to see if the printer needed paper.
This happens way more often than it should.

I think I have to be part of Team “Who-the-Hell-is-That?”. And in this case, I think I like that team a lot.

Are we sure it’s a photocopy of the Jonas Brothers, and not a pic of that new upstate boy band, signed by Grant, Useff, and Resolver themselves?
Resolver is the weird bass player.

Bah! You are all wrong! It’s the genius marketing of the Jonas Brothers!!! They steal into your offices make 50 copies of themselves and leave them for employees to find!!!! However their arch-rival, the evil Taylor Swift left this very passive aggressive note to foil their plan! Mwahahahaha!!
