If you’ve been following what Katy Perry’s been doing over the past few days for some reason, then you’ll know that her guest appearance on the kid-watched Sesame Street has been pulled from it’s originally-scheduled timeslot on New Years’ Eve 2010.
Why? Um, because several parents phoned in and claimed that Perry’s tits were too distracting and her very presence sexualized everything just a bit too much on Sesame Street. The official statement?:
“Sesame Street has a long history of working with celebrities across all genres, including athletes, actors, musicians and artists. Sesame Street has always been written on two levels, for the child and adult. We use parodies and celebrity segments to interest adults in the show because we know that a child learns best when co-viewing with a parent or care-giver. We also value our viewer’s opinions and particularly those of parents. In light of the feedback we’ve received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on You Tube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street, which is aimed at preschoolers. Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on You Tube.”
Personally, I think it’s ridiculous … It’s not as if the woman’s running around with her tatas hanging out, and frankly, they look even smaller than they normally do (because come on, who isn’t aware that Katy Perry has a rather, uh, ample breast), so maybe the show’s producers worked some camera magic in order to downplay Perry’s greatest physical assets.
Who knows. But I think the segment’s actually pretty cute, and I highly doubt that the young children who watch the show would say, ‘Holy hell, check out the bazonkas on that‘ if they were given the opportunity to see it.
What do you think? Appropriate for Sesame Street or Hooters? Much ado about nothing?
What a bitchy headline.
honestly, I thought the same thing when I was watching this video- before it was pulled. That being said, I love KP and she is so dang sexy. I’m no prude myself, but I’m fucking sick of seeing sex sold to kids. They couldn’t put her in a turtleneck? it doesn’t matter if it’s just a little bit of boob, it’s two minutes of her shaking them around running after elmo. I think little girls don’t have enough time to be little girls, and more sexuality for young boys to cram down their throats is the last thing anyone needs… one more reminder “girls are just tits and ass” even if they’re hawking kids shit. Keep it in your D Cup, Perry…
it’s inappropriate for children. the end.
actually, no… i’ll elaborate just a bit more. it’s inappropriate because sesame street is supposed to present role models to children. and children are very impressionable, esp at s.s. age. look at the huge uproar the sexualization of dora the explorer caused.
katy perry herself is fine, but to wear the outfit for s.s., where children are going to think that looking so sexy is the thing to do… it’s just not the place. common sense. save the cleve for mtv, throw on a damn t-shirt for s.s.
and yeah, to impy moms don’t like it b/c they have inferiority complexes is…ridiculous.
whats it like to become this kind of an amzing creator?
