…lemme get this straight: it’s Perry’s fault she wore inappropriate clothing? Television is rife with producers and wardrobe artists and set dressers and directors, and the media blames the guest star. I <3 Sesame Street and PBS, but frankly, they deserve to take the fall on that one. And yes, boobs are bad. Grand Theft Auto car jacking is Good!

I would think it’s not so much about the boobs in this video as it is that she writes songs about fake lesbianism for attention and a song that almost literally says ‘show me your cock’.

Once again, Americans prove their Puritanical roots. Prudes that fear the human form. (But in a bizarre twist, are completely OK with violence).

Same! Did not even notice the dress till it was brought up. The kids most likely wouldn’t even have noticed this and just enjoyed the song! This is the equivalent to an ice skaters dress. Parents, seriously be more worried about the other crap their kids can be exposed to on tv or in real life.

At 00:56 you can see where the puppeteer put his hand up Katy on accident.

is it really that hard to cover up your tits for a children’s show?

This seems silly to me. I agree, the dress is very low cut, but it’s really nothing new as far as children’s entertainment is concerned. I don’t see anyone up in arms over The Little Mermaid.
When I was a kid they parodied Madonna on Sesame Street.
Then again, I’m just a sexed-up atheist liberal, so I’m probably just trying to destroy America or something.

Katy Perry, please, you’re not hot and you really can’t sing live- just go sit down for a little while.
You’re married to the most annoying comedian for a reason, no one else could put up with you.

This is the most bizarre collaboration since Eminem and Elton John.

I’m 6 years old and what is this?

I hope this video heralds a new age of Muppets made entirely of latex and tits.

To me, its less about the dress specifically and more about who is in it. I don’t think her, or anyone similar to her, belongs on a children’s show…on THE iconic children’s show. She is famous for being provocative and sexually shocking. Are there people out there that actually think she’s a positive role model for children?!? (Boy I hope not.) If they wanted to put on someone famous, some milquetoast unoffensive Disney star or the Jonas brothers or whatever would be a much more appropriate choice.

Katy Perry - Pop Star voice from a Porn Star body. Actually, Katy was reining them things in…for once. She’s usually totally poppin’ out of whatever she happens to be wearin’.

…What is becoming of children television?

doesn’t anyone get it?
they’re dress-up clothes

i’m a little disappointed by all the people who doubt the inappropriate nature of Katy Perry’s clothing on a children’s show. don’t get me wrong, I am an adult man and I love boobies too. I don’t like puritan censorship either but that’s not the issue here. she is appearing on a children’s show and she is a role model to boys and girls for what an adult woman looks and acts like. trust me, kids do notice these things. when i was five years old, I definitely noticed the way adult women dressed. Katy Perry uses her body and sexuality to sell her music and get famous. she is very successful at what she does. but i would never want my daughter or son to emulate her. I think our current pop culture is basically teaching girls to grow up to be whores, and teaching boys to treat women like whores. kids should not be exposed to sexually suggestive things until they are old enough to fully understand how to deal with it. it does a great disservice to them to do otherwise. unfortunately, with our current culture, most people, kids and adults, can’t avoid being exposed to such things.
