Katy Perry is a pop star that I've heard of, which means she must be pretty huge. Apparently a couple of things about her are a little too huge, because Sesame Street has decided to can (Oscar's lucky day!) a segment that Katy filmed for the show.
Best YouTube comment: "Brought to you by the letters T & A."
Apparently nobody in charge of making the country's longest running children's show is prescient enough to realize that a low cut dress is not appropriate fare for Sesame Street? And (maybe this is symptomatic of spending too much time around young libertarian males, because sometimes I learn things I don't really want to know) the upskirt Elmo shot is a tad creepy.
Sorry boys, but I'm out of the closet here - I'm a total prude when it comes to children's television. I banished Nickelodeon from my cable for 10 years because they had Paris Hilton host the Kid's Choice awards the same year her porn video debuted. If the Sesame Street folks had considered excluding Perry simply because her first popular song was called "I Kissed A Girl," I'd be a happy camper.
Like that's ever going to happen. As it stands, we can assume that Katy Perry was paid for the segment, so this is just another example of your tax dollars at work, since PBS is on the federal dole.
(And yeah, I know she denies it, but girl - those totally look like implants.)
