Sesame Street cancels Katy Perry bit

2010-09-23 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 97 Comments
Katy Perry's planned appearance on Sesame Street has been cancelled after parents complained the singer's outfit was too raunchy for the children's show.

Perry's appearance was due to air on New Year's Eve, according to TMZ, and featured the singer and long-time Sesame Street resident Elmo performing a "child-friendly" version of her 2009 hit 'Hot N Cold.'

The song had been posted to Youtube earlier this week to build anticipation for Perry's appearance but has since been taken down.

TMZ quoted one angry parent: "You can practically see her tits. That's wonderful children's programming". Another wrote: "Thank you for speeding up the puberty process."

New York Magazine differed, saying it was "a rather harsh reaction, considering that her scene partner Elmo wasn't wearing anything at all."

If I was elmo, I would have a much different reaction. Great reaction by NY Magazine.

Differed is spelled with two "f"s.

Why the hell they even had her on there wearing a semi-short dress that showed her cleavage is beyond me.

I thought they overreacted but they could have covered her up better for children's TV.

On the flipside did anyone else watch and wanna sing... "You're in now you're out, I'm starting to pout."

Usually im pretty irritated by bible thumpers and super nannies trying to ruin everyones fun but they were completely justified in this case. That shit was totally inappropriate.

As an aside, is that actually what Sesame Street looks like? No real sets or anything, just green screen cartoon bull shit? Because thats fucking lame. Sesame street ruled when i was a kid.

The recent recession's hit the children's programming show budgets pretty bad from what I hear.

It's not like kids see some leg and cleavage and think "FUCK ME LOOK AT THAT, I'D RIP HER IN HALF".

I mean if she got her baps out fair enough but kids probably see more at the beach or the swimming pool.

there was nothing overtly sexual or raunchy about this scene, the clothes show her femininity off but so what why does this have to equate to declining moral values for people

But yea, katy perry looked like a runaway stripper bride, i mean come on people. I mean the kids who watch these shows are like 4-8 or some shit. She should of worn more. I mean there are allot of cases were young kids are exposed to sex too young and they are psychologically scared and what not.

Then you solve the problem of overpopulation.

But seriously, what's wrong? Boobs are fun enjoy them. Let the kids enjoy them. Enjoy them with your kids. The only reason kids will be scarred is because they've been taught that bare breasts are "innapropriate" and that they should shit their pants and switch off every time they appear.
That's how I was raised, and looking back it seems very illogical

That's the point.

They are PARENTS KIDS. They raise them. If they see something inappropriate for there kids. They are not in the wrong. We can not judge there child raising that may be ''illogical'' to you. It is logical to them. I don't agree with this thing that the parents are bitching about. I just understand were they are coming from.
