Katy Perry Kicked Off Sesame Street
Sesame Street has pulled a segment from the show featuring Katy Perry
after it appeared on YouTube and received comments from parents that were angry about the amount of cleavage she was showing.
Here is Sesame Street’s official statement on the video:
"Sesame Street has a long history of working with celebrities across all genres, including athletes, actors, musicians and artists. 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."
Was it that bad? Decide for yourself. Below is the video (at least until they remove it from YouTube as well).
