Elmo Loves Miss Katy
September 29, 2010By Tasan Thompson

The producers of Sesame Street cut a segment from the new season featuring pop star Katy Perry playing tag with Elmo to the tune of "Hot 'N Cold" last week because of Perry's revealing attire.


Within a matter of days of being released on YouTube, arguments and protests began to arise from the children television show's most important viewers - the parents. Complaints from around the nation were written about Perry's gold dress. It was acceptable in length except for the racy cleavage.


"The comments were split," said the executive producer of Sesame Street, Carol-Lynn Parente, on the Good Morning America show. She explained that not all the parents agreed that Perry's dress was revealing.


Nevertheless, with complaints such as this, it was important to Parente that her audience not be deterred from watching Sesame Street. So, in the end, the segment was pulled.


What did Elmo have to say about all the commotion surrounding his play date?


"Elmo loves Miss Katy," said Elmo to his audience.

Elmo and Ms. Katy

I liked how Katy Perry made a remix of her song just for Sesame Street!! I can see how some parents may be against Ms. Perry, namely because of her breast's nipples seem to show through her dress as well as the breast themselves, but i don't think this is much reason to throw a tantrum. Most of the children would most likely be laughing at Elmo running away from Ms. Perry and her attempts to chase him than staring at her assets.
