What if Will Smith knows and encourages Justin Bieber's movie aspirations to develop a new target market for that thing that Paul Thomas Anderson was trying to make a movie about? Genius! Assuming Will Smith is a participant in that thing that the other thing people are so rancorous and litigious about and don't want to see a movie discussing. Seriously, is he?

Ha! I'm one of four girls and we argued constantly over who would get my mother's engagement ring. She always gave us the same answer which was that our only brother would get it for his bride when the time came since it wouldn't be fair to choose among her daughters. So the bro gets engaged and we met my genuinely lovely future sister in law, or as my mother puts it "that woman who got her claws into my only son" and somehow that engagement ring never appeared to be available when he asked for it.

You have to hand it to Elmo, teaching the kids to run like crazy away from Katy Perry can only serve them well in later life.

Ah, now I get it. This is a "stranger danger" video for the S. Street set. Katy Perry being both strange and dangerous.

I like to think my wife and I have a pretty solid relationship built on trust, love and an appreciation of snark. I don't go through her things or her e-mail or her texts because I feel that it would be wrong. Over the past week I've had to drive her vehicle for work related purposes and I found something so disturbing that it's shaken my faith in our love to its very foundation. I just don't know what to do and I'm really frightened that our relationship may end. I don't know if you guys can offer any advice or if you've had a similar experience but anything you could tell me about how to proceed would be appreciated.
I had to confront her with my discovery as I'd hadn't been able to sleep and the inner turmoil was making it nearly impossible to function. When I spoke to her about her indiscretion she shrugged it off like it was no big deal and I tried to tell her how deeply this had effected me but I don't think she cares. I finally told her that a Katy Perry CD was one thing but if I ever found a Kesha CD our relationship would be at an end.

I see she got her tits out for Sesame Street. You stay classy Katy.

who's kate perry?
Posted by: idleprimate at September 20, 2010 5:25 PM
There's a reason I refused to play Katy Perry songs at the camp I work at: I don't think first graders should know all the lyrics to her songs. It's creepy to see them singing about...what she sings about, and I'm not going to be the one accused of exposing the children to it.
Now I see I was horribly mistaken. Thanks, Sesame Street. I'll be sure to not turn in the counselors who were cutting slits down the front of their work t-shirts to expose their teets to first graders in the future. If a rack like that is appropriate for educational programming now, who am I to judge differently?
To clarify: I can't give a kid a cookie, but I can expose a whole lot of skin if I use illusion netting.

I feel your pain. I faced a similar issue when Mr. PaddyDog left a Journey CD in my car several years ago. It's a very difficult thing to go through alone. Without my friends, I don't know what I would have done. He promised it would never happen again, but then sometimes late at night when he's been drinking I'm sure I hear falsetto tones and anthemic guitar coming from the garage. I stay for the sake of the dogs.
Posted by: PaddyDog at September 20, 2010 5:32 PM
PaddyDog....what do you have against Journey? I love it.

I made it twenty-seven seconds. And only because Elmo was on screen. And Elmo is my least-favorite muppet.

Oh geez Katy Perry. The RUNNING!

That's bad news about the PTA project.
That Engagement Games script sounds like The Brady Bunch episode where the kids built the house of cards to settle who got to trade in those stamps for either the sewing machine or the canoe. I wonder what Solomon-esque solution the script devises.
Posted by: DarthCorleone at September 20, 2010 6:48 PM
I'm sufficiently unfamiliar with the pop that I wasn't sure if those were the regular lyrics for the Katy Perry song or not. I did a Google search, and it only took the opening lines to realize that she probably wouldn't say this to Elmo:
"You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch"
Posted by: DarthCorleone at September 20, 2010 6:57 PM
Don't stop believin', PaddyDog.

Something is seriously with Sesame Street, this must be set right. I will go and see to my flock and bring order to the congregation. I feel I must bring back Snuffleupugus. Sure he was imaginary, but the same could be said for Jesus and the catholic church has been around forever. I must bring back order and make sure nothing like this happens again.

I have never seen an outfit that made a woman's boobs look ginormous and tiny AT THE SAME TIME.
I have a brother-in-law who works for Sesame Street. I'm going to ask him who makes wardrobe judgment calls.
Posted by: malechai at September 20, 2010 7:09 PM
Not sure what's up with all the hate on Katy Perry, I like her music and she's smoking hot, the top was a little inappropriate but I'm the sure the kiddies wont be scarred for life
Posted by: yerocef at September 20, 2010 7:11 PM
Ok. I watch Sesame Street every day with the wee-bibli and I have never seen this Katy Perry nonsense. Also, the set looks nothing like that cartoon rendering. From a DVD maybe? I don't know, but I haven't seen it air on PBS.
Agreed that she should put the titties away though.

Today in trade news, "Six degrees of hypothetical Bacon."

Mark Wahlberg in the Departed with Jack Nicholson, Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon. You only need 5 degrees for this one.

Only three degrees necessary.

Next, on "Sesame Street": Lady Gaga wears Elmo, Grover and Oscar the Grouch as a dress.

Katy Perry on Sesame Street: Not exactly Lean Horne singing "It's Not Easy Being Green" with Kermit, is it?
Posted by: muchsarcasm at September 21, 2010 1:44 AM
i just really want to stab her. i realize, katy, that your tits are to distract us from the horrendous paint job on your face, but put them away this is a children's show.

A fish aquarium is designed to offer domesticated marine life with a contained environment that mimics that of their natural habitat. Having first become popular in the 1950s, fish keeping is now widely enjoyed by many as a fun hobby and as a beautiful addition to the home. When maintained properly, fish aquariums can add a decorative touch to any room.

Re: Katy Perry on "Sesame Street"
Her outfit is fine! Hey, kids need boners too, right?
(Wow. That sounds bad.)
Okay, dads watching "Sesame Street" with their kids need boners too, right?
(Yikes!)
Alright, alright. Her outfit was inappropriate. Beautifully, breastily inappropriate.
OWWW! Okay, I'm leaving, I'm leaving! Geez!
Posted by: Kballs at September 21, 2010 8:08 AM
While unquestionably inappropriate, the Katy Perry sequence did not disturb me as much as last season's Sarah Jessica Parker appearance. Sarah was waiting for "Big", and Grover kept bringing her increasingly big things, only to realize that she was actually waiting for Big Bird. But wasn't Mr. Big in SATC a dude with a huge dong?
If you take that knowledge and apply it to the skit, well... poor Grover.
Posted by: Paul Southworth at September 21, 2010 9:30 AM
...Mr. Big in SATC was a guy with a huge dong... whaaat?
I don't think so. As far as I know, Mr. Big was SJP's love interest (and eventual husband) and was called Mr.Big because he was a "big shot": powerful, rich guy. I don't think it had anything to do with his dong. Unless I missed that episode.
Although if true, that makes the SJP appearance on Sesame Street rather hilariously gross and makes me forget about Spackle Von Tittzenberg's
outfit.

Our newspaper runs this thing called the MiniPage that is aimed at kids roughly 8 years old. One day a feature on the MiniPage was "Meet Alanis Morissette."
Posted by: , at September 21, 2010 10:33 AM
Actually, she looks like a character from "PeeWee's Playhouse." And we all know how that turned out.
Posted by: , at September 21, 2010 10:35 AM
Ohhhhhhh, maybe it wasn't because of his huge unit. Maybe it would help if I actually had ever watched that show.

@Not exactly Lean Horne singing "It's Not Easy Being Green" with Kermit, is it?
It's not even Norah Jones singing "Y".
Posted by: Mrs. Julien at September 21, 2010 10:42 AM
Little Julien is “Star of the Week” in his kindergarten class. We decorated a poster
they sent home and sent in some family photos. The poster was called All About Me
and asked him to list his favourite things.
Mummy: Hey buddy, what’s your favourite song?
Little J: “Another Brick in the Wall”
Mummy: (Writes down song name/plans apologetic email to teacher.)
It was worse when he used to tell people, “My daddy and I like Cocaine”.
Posted by: Mrs. Julien at September 21, 2010 10:46 AM
Mrs. Julien, as in the Pink Floyd song? Your kid sounds pretty awesome. They should make him "Star of the Week" for life.
It's not Katy's outfit I object to, so much as showing kids that being moderately attractive is enough to make you famous ('cause talent sure ain't what did it).
Posted by: JustBill at September 21, 2010 11:37 AM
Wow I never got wood from Sesame Street before.

While not being a Katy Perry or Elmo fan I found the video to be delightfully retarded. Katy Perry seems quite at home in the cartoon world.
Posted by: Sack Lodge at September 21, 2010 12:45 PM
Of course Katy Perry would make an appearance with Elmo. Think about it: the world's first functionally retarded Pop Star meets the world's first retarded Muppet! IT'S THIS GENERATION'S EBONY AND IVORY!!1111!!!! *aneursym*
Posted by: DoctorControversy at September 21, 2010 1:55 PM
Sack Lodge: that's because Katy Perry is really the manifestation of the collective masturbatory fantasies all the Anime Fanboys have had. Somehow she achieved existence, and until we phase her out, she'll still exist. Scientists are hard at work trying to eliminate her existence, but they've had a couple backfires and missteps that have lead to bigger threats. (Particularly their prototype "Justine Beaver" who morphed from jailbait 17 year old to whiny little bitch 16 year old "Justin Bieber".)

So is it bad then that I thought the Katy Perry thing was kinda cute?
Inappropriate outfit though, most definitely.

I don’t see the fuss. I liked it. A bit of fun. If you don’t like something then don’t watch it. Not totally sure about her clothes but love Katy.
Posted by: Diamond Rings at October 3, 2010 5:53 PM
My God, I didn't think I could hate Katy Perry's music any more, but then I watched it come out of her stupid face.
Also, I haven't seen Sesame Street in years. Is this what it looks like now? Today's kids are being shafted by not having those acid trip animations we grew up with.
