and Elmo doesn’t wear pants
Katy Perry’s jiggly bits cause problems for Sesame Street.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I found her singing more offensive than the skit.

I don’t find her outfit offensive in the least especially considering it actually has the effect of under emphasizing her breasts.
I wouldn’t chose Katy Perry to be on Sesame Street for the same reason I wouldn’t choose Lady Gaga, Snoop Dog, or Metallica. Sesame Street should be as non-controversial as they can be and those kinds of artists aren’t truly kid friendly.
Not that anyone who shows up on Sesame Street is required to be a saint, but Katy Perry is all about the sexualization of herself. Granted, most 3 and 4 year olds aren’t going to be heading off to YouTube to see her barely covered ass and whipped-cream spouting tits.
The other thing that bugs me is that… ummm, didn’t they think about this BEFORE they shot the video? I mean, someone had to pick the outfit and say “Yeah, we can use that one”.

I suspect it is the engineering that has people all a-twitter. Slap a couple of obvious straps on the tops of those cups and you have the ubiquitous sundress look.

Not wearing pants seems like a perfectly acceptable idea around Perry.

What did they expect her to wear? And I’d like to outfit Elmo in some tactical pants.

Worthless even with pics. I didn’t see any jiggle.

The whole episode seems engineered to boost ratings. It just seems like a big non-issue.

The worst thing about this episode is that once again I am reminded that my tax dollars subsidize this crap.

@Captain Holly Well this crap helped me teach my 3 yr old his colors, numbers, sharing, and that there are all kinds of kids in this world that he might not realize since he doesn’t see them in his local neighborhood or town.
I mostly ignore the jaded folks who post comments on blogs as the corncob up their rear reflects in their commentary 🙂
I mean even I loved Sesame Street when I was a kid (40+ yrs ago)

My biggest problem w/ Sesame Street is they have Whoopi “I’m OK with child rape” Goldberg doing the intro on every DVD they sell.

This woman only has sex to sell her music. This coming from me being anti flaming gay. I would go gay before I went after her.

Randy, you might take a look at the gazillions of dollars that Sesame Street makes through copyright and other licensing before you comment on people that kind of resent their tax dollars supplementing the income of said gazillionaires.

RC, SS gets about 15 to 17 percent of its budget from me and you. I have absolutely no problem paying that to see the benefits that it has provided (to me) and continues to provide for my child. If you cut all the other crap that we pay for and all that was left was educational programing then maybe I would agree with you…but SS works for helping educate our children and as dismay as our children’s education is today over paying for a program that actually works…to me is worth it.

nothing jiggled 🙁

I saw absolutely nothing to be alarmed at in this clip. Ms. Perry is, IMHO, a very attractive woman who has mercifully not succumbed to the pressure to bleach her hair and enlarge her breasts to freakish proportions. The neckline was low, yes, but one can see as much, and far less tasteful, at any Wal-Mart. Frankly, my attention kept being dragged back to the veil on her head.
As to Perry’s public image, I know nothing more than the occasional news snippet and some discussion between some friends’ teenage daughters. I certainly haven’t heard anything that leads me to believe she’s any more offensive than Madonna (not that Madonna should be in ANY WAY some sort of benchmark…ugh).

She is patently offensive in that her songs keep getting stuck in your head whenever you hear them.
Other than that, friggin’ Tinkerbell from Peter Pan had on a more revealing outfit and she is a CARTOON character – where was the outrage back then when we were kids? (born 1988)
