Katy Perry: Escorted Off Sesame Street

[RanD00M]

Though, did she really think that was appropriate wear for the show, how is boob valley going to appeal to pre-schoolers.

Do you really think that she got to choose her own outfit? I'm pretty sure she was handed said outfit and told to pop it on.

let's not predispose our children to liking shite music.

Yeah. Let's take away our children's right of an opinion. We should be the ones who should choose what they should like and dislike.

I forget how to embed videos to my post but whatever. It's a link of Katy Perry singing on a lesser known kids show.

I think this is worth a view, I can't see anything wrong with this video and I actually think this is a good musical performance by her (music starts around 0:40).

Sadly, I got two irritable thoughts on this.

One) The pre-schoolers wouldn't care as much as the adults.
Two) I've ran across TV Shows that had girls on stage wearing less than that, and I mean 12-14 of age.

I mean, really x.x it's all just silly

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I personally think Katy Perry look like she got hit with an ugly stick coated in makeup...

Katy Perry insults aside, I think it's really a trivial problem. This isn't going to interest kids in boobs, it's probably to interest them in Perry.

 

[BlueGlowstick]

I'm pretty sure those kids have heard/seen worse.

"Mommy, your headlights are showing!" *ZING!!*

anyhoo... Jack Black has been on Yo Gabba Gabba. (Love him but he scares me...) and these kids are watching CRIME SHOWS just to be able to see Justin fuckin Bieber!! >.<

 

[Small Waves]

In light of the feedback we received, we have decided that we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street.

Translation: Oh shit parents are bitching. We better agree with the mob instead of standing by our original decision.

It's Katy Perry, for Christ sakes. Did they seriously expect her to not choose questionable clothing?

 

[manaman]

how easily people get "offended" by everything and anything.

So what do you guys think? do we complain too much in todays society, or are these complains really justified?

Why are you so offended that people get offended. It seems like you are getting offended by anything and everything. Start by asking how this affects you. It doesn't really, which makes this sound less like an observation and more of a complaint about people complaining.

Since you brought it up through it's not large amounts of people that over react, it's parents. Especially parents of the pwecious wessous little children from 0-8 years old, and mostly with the first kid as well. Don't worry that darling phase wears off as soon as the little monster starts showing signs of being it's own person.

Okay...the dress was a little inappropriate. But its not freak out inappropriate. It's a couple of sidelong glances from parents. It's her manager tells her afterwords that maybe it wasn't the greatest wardrobe choice inappropriate. It is NOT cut the segment inappropriate. It's a silly little gaff that no kid is going to notice.

I don't listen to Kate Perry, but I think that we way to easily turn into music snobs. Maybe her music is stupid, but it is harmless stupid, and some people get a kick out of it. The controversy ends there. Once you have at least those 2 qualities, you get a gold star in my book. She shouldn't be criticized for something so minor, or for something so snobbish. If you enjoy it, I say good for Kate Perry, she made one more person happy.

"Ke$ha" is a different story. She is not harmlessly stupid, she is offensively stupid.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Eh, so they cut the segment. One wonders why they didn't think of getting her to wear actual clothes before shooting it, but it's not a big deal.

Now, if the makers of Sesame Street were to use their mastery of the dark arts to get rid of her altogether, that'd be a big deal. It's also justify that ginormous font they use of celeb magazines.

Well she might not have chosen it herself, I assume she has a few people who's job it is to pick clothes out for her but they work for her they work to her tastes. There's no chance the sesame street producers would have enough pull to pick an outfit for her.

I think we do tend to grow up liking what we've heard as kids. It's so easy for kids to become indoctrinated into whatever the pop music of the time is. It can't hurt to limit their exposure to the worst stuff and make sure they get to hear a variety of genres.

Then if they grow up liking music I don't I can at least say I tried, and then disown them.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

i dont think there was anyting wrong with the way she dress. It wasnt revealing much at all. People just like to complain i guess.

I find it cool how your badges spell boo.
I'm easily amused.

I am only talking from personal experience here, but when I was a child I used to listen to stuff like Eminem, The Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, Britney Spears and the likes. Why, because it was popular at the time. Then when I reached around age 9, I realized how much I really disliked that music and started growing my own musical taste.
I started with AC/DC, Tom Jones, Slipknot and Linkin Park. And now I've become somewhat of a music snob. Well maybe not snob, but my music usually need to be either melodic, moving or just plain awesome for me to actually like it.

Now if some kids grow up like me when it comes to music[footnote]Not talking about having my music taste. Rather talking about them evolving like I did.[/footnote], then I don't think we have a problem with what they listen to now.

 

[DanDeFool]

IT'S NOT EVEN LOW-CUT!

Look closely! It has a skin-tone part above where the dress ends.

Seriously people, how fucking afraid of sex are you that you're going to whine about a low-cut dress that's not even low-cut?

 

[Doctor Glocktor]

Oh USA, your censorship is so crazy.

I am so fucking glad I don't live there.

 

[voetballeeuw]

I can understand a slight (a slight) negative reaction to the outfit, but cutting the segment is too dramatic. I'm assuming these children have been to the beach or a public swimming pool, and I'm going to assume they've seen a woman wearing a bikini before. Did the parents lift their offspring up and shield their eyes, or throw a towel over the women?
And enough with the hate on pop music, some people enjoy it and others don't. Let people listen to what they like.

 

[Blitzwarp]

Right, because your kids aren't going to see girls wearing even less than Katy Perry was at the mall or at school or wherever when summer time hits.

 

[punkrocker27]

Well I was already starting to think about breasts in Kindergarten and still watch Sesame Street as well...what, me, depraved?

 

[mr_rubino]

Hurhurhur modern music sure is shitE nowadays hurhurhur! How relevant I am to the topic!

OT: Oh no, tits! Tits are such dirty, sinful things. I don't even know why women have them.
Oh wait, they're TO FEED INFANTS, THUS EVERY YOUNG CHILD KNOWS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE AND HAVE AN AGE-APPROPRIATE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT PURPOSE THEY SERVE, MEANING THEY'RE NOT STARING LUSTFULLY AT KATY PERRY'S TITS BECAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING PRE-SCHOOLERS, YOU JEALOUS SICK-MINDED SEXUALLY-REPRESSED SELF-LOATHING SOCCER MOM FREAKS. How silly of me to forget.

EDIT: That looks like freakin Belle's dress from the end of Beauty and the Beast. Where exactly is the issue? Animated tits yes, live tits no? You ladies know Ariel and Belle were modeled on a real woman, right? Break out the torches.

 

[temporalcrux]

My understanding is she got to pick her outfit. It had a mesh top at the cleavage, and it wasn't all that different from a figure skater's outfit. The actual dress itself was picked in theme with the video: Katy Perry playing dressup with Elmo, as in, it's a ballerina or fairy dress-up, like normal kids used to do.

What would YOUR little girl play dress up in? Jeans and a t-shirt?
