'Sesame Street' pulls Katy Perry video
From usatoday, Sesame Street has decided pull Katy Perry's Elmo video from the air. We told you earlier this week that the Katy's outfit - and whether it was appropriate for the new season of the kids' show - had become the subject of debate.
Now, Sesame Street confirms in a statement that "producers have chosen not to include" Perry's video when the 41st season of the show kicks off Monday on PBS, adding:
"Sesame Street has always been written on two levels, for the child and adult. We use parodies and celebrity segments to interest adults in the show because we know that a child learns best when co-viewing with a parent or care-giver. We also value our viewer's opinions and particularly those of parents. In light of the feedback we've received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on You Tube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street, which is aimed at preschoolers. Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on You Tube."

I could give a rat's ass about her music, but I've been trying to figure out what it is about her that appeals to me.
It just hit me watching this video, and I don't know why: she'd make a very good Lois Lane. (If she can act. Of course, that didn't stop Kate Bosworth.)
A couple of haikus for Ms Perry and Elmo:
Elmo like Katy.
But what about the children?
Let them get their own.

Excellent, Shad From DC, you need to join us on Haiku Hump Days!
I think Cracked.com summed up my interest in Katy Perry quite well, describing her as "what happens when someone puts Zooey Deschanel's head on a porn star's body."
That is a lot of boobage for Sesame Street.
