Katy Perry skit with Elmo pulled from Sesame street.

[SunnyD]

Really? Parents this this outfit is too inappropriate for Sesame Street?

Article linky.

Parents checking out the video began leaving critical comments like, "Couldn't she wear something that was more. oh idk. APPROPRIATE" and "I DO NOT want my five year old lookin at [that]!" But, as TMZ notes, Perry wasn't actually half-naked -- her outfit featured a flesh-colored mesh top that went all the way up to her neck, like a figure-skating costume.

I'd probably ban her for being a shitty performer. I'd want my kids to have better taste in music. Don't really care about the outfit. There's more things to worry about than a little cleavage.

Bunch of freaking prudes in this country...

 

[Xecuter]

for sesame street? was it necessary to wear that?

 

[ViviTheMage]

Blame the stylist person? I doubt she dresses her self for shows like that.

Barbie wears worse. It's just a dress... wtf is the problem?

 

[waggy]

ok yeah i can understand why its not good for sesame street. there is no reason for her to show that much cleavage for a s how aimed at 3-6yr olds

 

[jtvang125]

I'm sure all the 5 year old boys are going "Damn, look at them tits!".

Wear what? An outfit that came up to her neck? I've seen olympic figure skaters wearing WAY more revealing stuff than this (although this only looked revealing), and no one complains about letting their five year olds watch that. Sounds like a bunch of tubby, insecure soccer moms who can't handle looking at someone way hotter than they'll ever be.

Fail. :thumbsdown:

What happened, she blow Mr. Snuffleupagus or something?

If she didn't have such a big nice set of cans it wouldn't be a problem. Just looking at those brings dirty thoughts to mind.

 

[BoberFett]

Sesame Street was awesome 30 years ago. Is that really what passes for children's programming now?

 

[Homerboy]

Is it horrible? No.
Could a way smarter choice have been made? Yes.
Should have it been pulled? That's up to Sesame Street. Their show. Their rules.

You think those are

such a big nice set of cans

?

You spent too much time in jail, dude...



They're not bad, but not at all BIG...

 

[zinfamous]

I've seen sluttier looking 5 year-olds.


...but I support banning the video due to the horrendous auto-tuning.

they are bigger. in fact, my first thought was, "What happened to KP's tatas? They are way bigger than that..." :hmm:

 

[PingSpike]

Fat moms don't want to see hotties on the street, let alone the Sesame street!

 

[DrunkenSano]

I bet Elmo motorboated the hell out of that.

 

[zinfamous]

btw, whenever I think of music and sesame street, I always think of this:

going from pure awesome, to...this current crud. man, so so sad.

Sure, it's almost 2 generations removed, (maybe more? D. but as nice a looker as Ms. Perry is, her musical stylings are a bit of an insult to the ear. I can't believe popular music has fallen so far.

 

[alkemyst]

It's ok Katy, if Elmo won't let you tickle him; you can tickle me instead...

 

[sourceninja]

Actually, wouldn't you want to show more tits to young kids? It would appeal to their sense of hunger. Mommy, I'm hungry, give me them titties!

But seriously, I find nothing offensive in that video besides elmo (I can't stand elmo). I'd let my children watch it if I had children. I don't' remember associating breast with sex until about 10 or 11 years old.

That's because no one is watching figure skating in the first place so there's no one to complain.

 

[Number1]

I could not keep my eyes off of her, they are beautiful. LOL

Seriously the outfit is so form fitting, I could not tell at first she was wearing something to cover her cleavage.

Ya no wonder they yanked it.

WTF does me being in jail have to do with admiring a nice set of cans? I haven't seen a jail cell in 8 years.

Of course, the original Sesame Street is now considered no longer suitable for children: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/18/magazine/18wwln-medium-t.html
