Sep. 24th, 2010 07:36 amI'm not a fan of Katy Perry at all. I think she's boring, and I never really got past the fact that she acted like the only one who ever wrote a song about two girls kissing, when Jill Souble had a vastly superiour song years ago that wasn't grammatically incorrect. And also more about a girl being attracted to a girl rather than the 'three beer queer' thing the Katy Perry song was about. Or...what was the phrase I heard recently? I can't remember, but it referenced girls kissing just to turn a boy on.
Where was I? Oh yeah. So I think she's kind of a boring pop star, but I still find it ridiculous that Sesame street pulled her performance from some upcoming show because some parents said her outfit was too revealing. (Hopefully the link works)
I don't think some people understand that things are only sexual if the people looking at the things understand what 'sexual' is. Will a 3 year old look at Katy Perry and think, 'gosh, I can almost see her boobs?' No. they're going to look at Katy Perry and say "ELMO!"
Because they are not developed enough yet to understand that boobs are sexy. Supposedly.
So the only people getting bothered by it are the parents, and the whole point of having grown up famous people on Sesame Street is so parents can watch it and enjoy it on a different level.
TL:DR:
Dear Sesame Street Producers:
Kids don't know from revealing because they don't understand that it is supposed to be sexy. They don't know the word 'sexy'. They barely know the word 'tree'. Get over yourself.
No Love,
