Katy Perry to Sesame Street: Tickle These Elmos
Saturday Night Live alumna Amy Poehler hosted the show’s 2010-11 season premiere, and we were mildly happy to see her joined by Maya Rudolph for a reprise of “Bronx Beat,” a talk show hosted by two outer-borough housewives. Then musical guest Katy Perry showed up bulging out of a tight Sesame Street t-shirt — was this her most pointless display of cleavage yet? Not at all! First, though, the sketch:
Katy’s double-D distortion of Elmo was no accident — last Wednesday, Sesame Street announced that a video of Elmo and Katy would not be airing on the show because some parents had objected to Katy’s cleavage (the clip had been released on YouTube as a teaser for the new season, which began today). Here are Elmo and a Sesame Street producer talking it out with George Stephanopoulos. “Elmo loves Miss Katy,” says the muppet.
Sesame Street has displayed a pretty good sense of humor. But will that makeup “playdate” ever happen, or was the SNL sketch a breast too far? Time will tell. Here’s the original video:
Boobs feed babies. Boobs feed babies!

The simple answer as to the producer’s decision; free, high-profile advertising for an otherwise unremarkable television share. The parents commens were just an excuse.. btw – Super Grover rocks!!!!!

This really highlights how low we have sunk as a nation. The puritans ARE taking over and it’s shameful. Perry’s cleavage is the same as that of any Disney Princess – she’s been singled out because her own music videos are a racey. This one for Sesame St is not.
The chat with George Stephanopoulos raises another issue: who’s next? Some of the ‘celebrities’ named as future guests are also likely to be on the Puritans hit-list.

The kids wouldn’t have thought a thing about this, it’s good wholesome fun there having! It’s these parents that think there is something WRONG with the human body that had to go and make this a problem! What is wrong with you people?! And to repeat the comment above; BOOBS FEED BABIES!
