"Katy Perry can't seem to keep her parts private. Days after her fiance, Russell Brand, was arrested for attacking a photographer who aimed a camera up her dress, Perry's "Sesame Street" promo video has been yanked for being too racy. After several complaints, the show's producers have opted not to air the segment that features the 24-year-old singer singing a duet with Elmo while dressed in a low-cut yellow-green heart-shaped dress, a sheer piece of material covering her ample cleavage. "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," the show's producers said in a statement. "Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on You Tube." In the video, which earned over 1 million views on YouTube Monday, Perry is seen bouncing after Elmo while singing a version of "Hot N Cold" that focuses on the puppet waffling over their play date instead of an up-and-down relationship. "You can practically see her t---," one person commented, according to the website. "That's some wonderful children's programming." Another one quipped that, "they're gonna have to rename it cleavage avenue." Perry, who on Wednesday tweeted, "I can totally tell you how to get to Sesame Street! I've been, Elmo & I hang out," has not yet responded to the change in programming."

She is wearing a bra on Sesame Street. Your saying that dress would be appropriate for the workplace?

If you can;t wear it to work, don;t wear it next to Elmo.

9/23/2010 11:46:58 AM

they're really about the only thing(s) she has going for her

9/23/2010 11:48:51 AM

For once, I agree with everything everyone has said itt.

9/23/2010 11:50:15 AM

having not inspected her breasts before and only having seen the Sesame Street video I must say that they did an excellent job of hiding those suckers

it hardly looked like she was smuggling muppets at all

very tasteful

9/23/2010 11:50:48 AM

even both sides of the tits argument?

9/23/2010 11:50:49 AM

^ yes, because ^^

9/23/2010 11:51:42 AM

quite ample

9/23/2010 11:52:03 AM

Really? This is "inappropriate" for children? Oh America, you zany nation with a heritage of Protestant ethics and morals, what will you overreact at next?

9/23/2010 11:53:33 AM

Kids watching Sesame Street aren't into tits yet.

9/23/2010 11:55:03 AM

I don't get why we, as a nation, are so casual about murder

but we shit the bed when women don't wear their burkas

(and at the same time women have to whore around for our approval - wtf?)

^ the fuck they aren't

Answer my question, is that top appropriate for the office? I know you are chronically unemployed - but still you must remember a time when you worked?

Also - whats all the "in America" bullshit? Like I want to take advice form a bunch of dunhill smoking eurotrash.

9/23/2010 11:58:29 AM

a cookie monster costume probably isn't appropriate for work either

9/23/2010 12:00:01 PM

I like how everyone GGMon disagrees with is either eurotrash or a hipster.

9/23/2010 12:04:02 PM

^^^ I never worked in an office
also, being in school does not equal "chronically unemployed"

that dress is appropriate for an entertainer
in fact, it was appropriate back in the 1920's

after hearing about this i honestly expected that the top would be something that almost slips off her and showcased her tits.

instead you get a video where she has a sheer top to ensure no wardrobe malfunction, and they hide away any sign that she's got a decent pair.

i agree on the fact that you could never wear an outfit like this to work (and i've been out of touch with sesame street for over two decades) but i was unaware that the outfits they wore on the show were necessarily all 'workplace acceptable' on women at least.

9/23/2010 12:04:40 PM

Bert and Ernie are totally gay and anyone can see it

Tits should help to balance out the sexual pendulum

9/23/2010 12:05:42 PM

my opinion is that the dress is inappropriate for sesame street

my point was that the "appropriate for the office" rule is a little too apples-and-oranges IMO

late carot addition


and i see mention of Bert, so i gotta add this

This is just like Toy Story, there's something in it for the kids, and something in it for the dads having to watch with them.

She definitely has fantastic REAL breasts, as can be attested by the copious jiggling while she chases elmo around.

Terrible version of the song, but would watch again.

9/23/2010 1:08:43 PM

Actually, I do think it's a bit too much cleavage for Sesame Street. Particularly when she's running and bouncing. I think the outfit just showed a lack of taste. Rule number one for television ... know your target audience. She'd look beautiful and sound decent even if she covered up with a bit more material.

Agreed that if you wouldn't wear it to work, you shouldn't wear it on a children's television program.

its katy perry, they knew what they were signing up for

even to the point where they "conceded" to allow her to wearsomething sheer over her cleavage

its katys style, they knew, no way in hell they didnt know exactly what they were doing, this was a ratings/publicity ploy my friends

9/23/2010 1:23:42 PM

It's def. a departure from the norm.

Flip through some of the other female guests and nobody wears anything like what KP wore.

ETA: Even peeps known to slut it up, wardrobe wise - Eva Longoria, Sarah Jessica Parker, Debra Messing, Christina APplegate, jenny McCarthy.

Do you really think Debra Messing, Eva, and SJP are known for being scantilly clad?

do they even have anything to show?

i dont think any of the women you mentioned slut it up, well jenny McCarthy was a nude model but i dont recall here ever havin outrageous attire, even 15 years ago as an MTV VJ or whatever

We are all missing the point here. Puritanical moral values are not the important issue. Exposing our kids to terrible, terrible music at an impressionable young age is the important issue.

Though while she can't sing, I agree with the second part of BigHitSunday's last post.

Quote :

"In circumstances George Stephanopoulos probably never imagined when he gave up a hands-on role in politics to become a broadcaster, two fuzzy, non-human members of the “Sesame Street” cast joined him Friday morning on “Good Morning America,” along with that PBS children’s show’s executive producer, Carol-Lynn Parente, to discuss the recent decision at “Sesame Street” to pull a music video featuring the pop singer Katy Perry. On Thursday, Sesame Workshop, which produces “Sesame Street,” said it would not broadcast a segment planned for the show’s coming season in which Ms. Perry performs a version of her song “Hot ‘N Cold” with Elmo and is seen wearing a low-cut dress. In her “Good Morning America” interview, Ms. Parente told Mr. Stephanopoulos she was surprised at the volume of disapproving responses the video had generated when it was posted on YouTube earlier in the week. “We would never, never produce anything that we thought was inappropriate,” Ms. Parente said. She said that her program books its celebrity guests as a strategy “to go after those younger parents who may not have grown up with ‘Sesame Street’ and may not seek ‘Sesame Street’ out.” Later in the interview, Elmo – not the puppeteer who portrays Elmo, but the Muppet himself – told Mr. Stephanopoulos that he hoped Ms. Perry would return to “Sesame Street.” “Elmo loves Miss Katy,” he said, using his customary third-person reference. “We had a good time. So we’ll have another play date.” Also on hand was Grover, whose blue fur was clearly visible through his Super Grover costume. “How do you like my new outfit, huh?” he asked Mr. Stephanopoulos. “It is not too revealing, is it?”"
