BANNED ON SESAME STREET...
...for cleavage. Shocking, just shocking. It's only right. Why should children be exposed to the reality that women have breasts at such an early age? What were Katy Perry and the producers of the show thinking? At least, they saw the error of their ways before the kiddies were exposed to the scandalous segment.
H/T to Richard Adams at the Guardian.
Thanks to Lapin for the link.

Pretty demure, actually. Ms Perry is no Christina Hendricks.
ReplyDeleteOh lordy --all those Barbie Dolls should be banned then.... Good grief.
ReplyDeleteOh, Mimi, believe it or not, I understand. I am DEEPLY OFFENDED (and you know how adversed I am to hyperbole) to Katy Perry.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about her latest CD here: http://telling-secrets.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-old-is-old-enough.html
I don't want this over-sexed siren anywhere near my kids. It's not about this video. It's about who she is and what she's willing to sing in order to make LOTS of money.
Elizabeth, I took the segment on Sesame Street at face value. I see nothing wrong with it. Until now I knew nothing about Katy Perry except what's in the video.
ReplyDeleteI would not give CDs that included sexual innuendo to my young grandchildren. I presume the older grandchildren have pretty much heard it all by now. I fought the music battle with my own children, so I've been there.
If Katy is sings songs with naughty lyrics outside of Sesame Street, she has lots of company. I judged by the contents of the video. That is all.
Not to mention that a certain segment of the Sesame Street crowd will actually still be nursing and see breasts as a source of food and comfort...
ReplyDeleteKaty Perry is an exploitative twit ("Ur So Gay" indeed >:-( ). . . but that doesn't mean that SS hasn't gone mental in censoring this scene.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Barbie?
ReplyDeleteAre breasts bad?
What about breasts for nourishment?
This seemed to me another example of the ever-growing puritanism spreading throughout the land.
For heaven's sake, never take your children to Florence, Italy. They will never recover. One wonders how any of the children in the city and other Italian cities grow up to be decent adults.

ReplyDeleteThey don't, Mimi. They're not Americans! ;-)
Oh right. Of course, Doxy. My bad.
ReplyDeleteWhy is there no mention of the bare knees? What about those?
ReplyDeleteHer knees have no cleavage to speak of, Paul.

I was so shocked by the BREASTS that I didn't even notice the KNEES. That's a mighty short dress.
ReplyDeleteSome might say they're the bees knees, but I would never say that.
