For You.

this still looks and sounds great however

You sure do like Katy Perry, dude.

Honestly, I never much cared for her until I saw her on "Sesame Street".

What do you mean, you voted for it before you realized it was an edited version? Your vote is in that post, which can't be edited.

You're a moron, John.

You're a creepy old man, John.

What I mean is that I saw the title in the hopper, assumed it was the version I had already seen, and voted for it without watching it. What in the world do YOU mean?

"she is Betty Boop made flesh"

also, do you really find this song catchy, even in the parameters of pop music?

When I voted this I five starred it.

Yes, I compared her to Betty Boop, and that wasn't the worst of it. I also said she was "charming".

But I understand what "creepy" means. What i didn't understand was "Your vote is in that post, which can't be edited." Never mind though, I really don't care.

Anyway, where you really have me over a barrel is here: Yes, I guess I do think that Katy Perry Song is catchy, although I didn't know who the artist is until I saw the sesame street version.

You should understand that I have no TV, and I only listen to NPR, so I only hear pop songs these days when I go shopping at the Dollar General. I'm sure that you've heard Katy Perry sing whatever the fuck that is 900 times more than I have, and if I were in your position, I'd probably hate it too.

for the record and in his defense, would any here not do katy perry?

Oh God, the guy who wants to hatefuck megyn kelly is defending me. That can't be good.

Thanks for the honest comments John. 5.

now i'm even more offended. you don't want to hatefuck megyn kelly? this isn't portal of gentlemanly conduct, you know

I only chose a video that gave the gist of what happened on the show for people who didn't know anything about the incident. As soon as the link breaks, I will consider resubmitting the full version instead.

She reminds me of Zooey Deschanel.

Since when is whether or not you'd fuck someone a testament to their talent, relevance or even attractiveness? Like, what WOULDN'T most of us fuck?

It took me a long time to figure out why I had offended anyone, and now I think I get it.

I remember when I was in my early twenties, we had the anti-disco thing. I can remember my girlfriend and I having a really earnest conversation about the political/social meaning of her "Disco Sucks" T-Shirt. It all seems kind of silly now, but back then it wasn't. When you're young and forming your identity, rejecting superficial pop music is part of becoming an authentic person. When you're my age (Please don't make me say the actual number!), being an authentic person means liking whatever the fuck you feel like liking.

Down deep, I'm fundamentally the same person I became 30 years ago, while listening to the New York Dolls, The Sex Pistols, The Stooges, and The Ramones, to a lesser extent the Clash. When i decided that I wanted to create my own Linux Live CD, the thing I'm proudest of over the past few years, my approach was a punk rock approach. I started out releasing something crude and audacious, learned on the job. Last time I looked, my live cd distro, Kiara (based on Slax) has been downloaded about two hundred fifty times. I didn't set the world on fire. I just did something creative. I participated.

At this late date, a Katy Perry video or a Miley Cyrus video or a Ke$ha video isn't going to change how I see myself. It's not "my thing", but I kind of Like Ke$ha. She's funny.
She reminds me of a female drag queen.

Most of these female artists seem way too sexually oriented to me. It's not that I'm offended, it's that all this sexuality is limiting. You can't fuck everybody, so it's a fucked up way of looking at the world. But just becasue I watched the Blah Blah Blah vid a few times, it's got nothing to do with MY approach to things.

For whatever it's worth, my point was never how much I like Katy Perry, it was how much MORE I like her when she leads with innocence instead of sexuality. Iif she stopped making semi nude videos and joined the cast of sesame street, it would be a good move from an artistic standpoint. She worked really hard on that Sesame Street video, and it makes me wonder if this is closer to how she really sees herself.

Point of order: HELEN KANE is Betty Boop made flesh.

Also, Betty Boop was originally a French poodle version of Helen Kane that looked like something Dr. Moreau created, so they downplayed the poodley features and re-humanized her.

That was my first reaction too. When did they move to green screen shit?

I think it's just for this music video. I don't think they lost the set, but the only clue I have is a PSA that Michelle Obama did on the Sesame Street set.

Come to think of it, my submission of GOB on Sesame street was on a real set too....

Man, this site has seen more sesame street than you'd expect from a portal of evil.

The Elmo segments are always in this 2-D style. Everything else still uses the same old sets.

Exactly. Elmo's segment is targeted at toddlers, the regular show is targeted at preschoolers. It used to be targeted at first-graders but they focused on younger kids now that older ones have home video and cable television and videogames to distract them.

Har.

Stop digging

I think it's less about her boobs and more about the still-lingering faux right/conservative outrage about Perry getting famous on a song about kissing another girl.

Ironically, they should be cool with it; she got rich stealing someone else's song! What could be more conservative than that?

It's totally about the tits. Republicans want to see public television abolished, Sesame Street included.

No, you didn't, you spineless gimp.

But she pisses off conservatives to an insane degree. Therefore she's not all bad. Plus, she is adorable.
