6 year olds wouldn't think anything of what Katy is wearing. If they've been breast fed then they've seen boobies every day for about half of their lives and more if they have younger siblings. Only adults would be shocked and appalled at her outfit. The public is always outraged when a woman reveals too much of herself as if her body is not hers to show.

Still waiting for the Kermit the Frog/Ron Jeremy duet. Can't be long now.

It's a good decision.

Kids don't notice that stuff consciously but if you saw women with half their cleavage exposed since as early as you can remember..

you're likely to think there's nothing wrong with that when you start dressing yourself. i.e. jessie slaughter

It's called Behavior modeling.


Not to mention I abhor popstars.

This being pulled is yet another example of society being full of overly sensitive, politically correct, jealous pussies.


Downvoters, thank you for proving my point so precisely!

Well I liked her outfit...

Mine is a dupe.

I agree with bone, this is fucking disgusting. Great sift.

5 more comments have been lost in the ether at this killed duplicate.

fucks sake.

in all honisty anny woman not in full burka hijab is a discrace and should be stoned to death emideatly.

Yes of course, the human body is disgusting and must be hidden. Breasts are dirty and unnatural and children should be protected from seeing them. After all, how are children going to learn to be properly ashamed of their bodies if they see adults who do not hide their bodies in shame.

If Sesame Street ever dared to show something like this I'd have no choice but to protect my children by having them watch...I dunno, maybe Tom and Jerry cartoons or Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny...something with a healthy dose of good old fashioned explosions, guns and violence.

Knives, guns, pain, violence...that'll help them grow into good strong Americans who can carry on the fight against this kind of outrageous display of the human body.

I am glad I don't have kids...if one would of been in my lap when I saw this....

I love the jerk misogynists users who approve of removing some crappy song because someone has cleavage. Who cares if a pop singer has cleavage? Go cut off your penis because you obviously have issues.

I agree with westy, women should cover up or be stoned by you jerks.

Behavior modelling my ass...

Know what i'll say to my daughter if I have one? "Your body is yours, you can do what you want to it and let people see however much you're comfortable with them seeing... but don't be a slut 'cause daddy doesn't want to have to stab someone."

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Makes me feel all funny in my tummy region.

@joedirt
No one has a problem that women have cleavage.

We have a problem with the venue and audience the cleavage is on display for.

@pho3n1x
Riiight, cause if your 6 to 15 year old daughter came home begging to dress up like this for Halloween..

"OH sure honey, it's your body. Just don't be a slut, sweetie."

Humans are visual creatures and we learn the majority of our behavior from watching and imitating others.

Even if the majority of the 3 to 7 demographic doesn't take note of her huge knockers some portion will be influenced by and attempt to emulate her.

So yes, behavior modeling. As in every person needs a good "role model."

Why exactly are you guys okay with training other people's kids to admire crappy pop tunes and the talentless half naked tarts who peddle them anyway?

kids watch so much tv they turn into jelly but two little tits are going to corrupt them into porn stars

The 3 to 7 demographic has just good chance of seeing their kindergarten teacher, or a spanish reporter on tv with an open blouse, or just someone in a store when they are with their parents shopping that could influence them just as much. Behavior modeling...give me a break. Got any other hippy cop out reasons to throw out there?

@GenjiKilpatrick I would hope that I raise my child with enough responsibility, and that we are strong enough role models to avoid the aforementioned scenario altogether. Besides, your link is not the outfit in the video. If it was your puritanical rant might mean something, but it's not. While a little too revealing for some, Katy is not wearing anything in the video that you wouldn't see while watching an Olympic figure skater.

@Stu
Your point is my point exactly! Our culture is constantly filled with scantily clad females.

As soon as you change the channel you'll find a girl in a bikini is selling you some crap.

So in our hypersexualized marketing culture it's not a cop out to suggest that we promote modest behavior and select role models for young kids who practice modesty.

By obstinately defending Perry's right to show the top of her tits..

You're all missing the point completely.
And essentially condoning someone like Kesha teaching 3 to 7 yr olds their numbers and alphabet by rewording her song about binge drinking and causal drunk sex.

Some of these kids are going to become attached to these shitty artists.
Worship their albums and outfits and success and likely associate being half naked with success and popularity.
They don't even have to be told that. They just see the behavior and emulate it.

My point is. If you show kids racy glamorous popstars they'll aspire to that.
Maybe if you showed a female scientist or olympic athlete or district court judge more female youth would aspire to those things.

...Am i seriously the only windbag on videosift that hold this point of view?

Thanks for keeping us abreast of the situation.

Is she any more or less 'scantily clad' than any Disney princess (which was the point of the outfit) ?

Have you seen Jasmine? Hell, Ariel ? It's barely a bikini. Bewbs galore.

End of the day: kids don't notice/care. They like Elmo and a catchy tune. period.

Sesame Street should have stopped when Jim Henson died.

@Genji, cut your penis off, you obviously have issues controlling your urges and want a nanny state to keep yourself safe from your own thinkcrimes.

as a raging feminist and a mother,.... i gotta disagree.

my kids grew out of the sesame street days years ago, and now are mortified of viewing or duplicating anything remotely attached to sesame street.

are little girls over sexualized in/by pop culture? yes
is it because they saw a pop stars cleavage on sesame street one time when they were 2? probably not.

do i think the same sample of parents will let their little girls idolize vapid, packaged, subtly sexualized and marketed teenage pop stars later in their lives? yes.
and let their little boys form a skewed idea of women and sexuality built around pop culture iconography and too much internet porn? yes.

Looks like an ice skating uniform.

Ariel was actually naked from the waist down!

I'm sorry, exactly what is wrong with that when you're dressing yourself?

Do you think there's something wrong with raising our children to accept the human body and human sexuality?

Fuck, The Scarlet Letter was written 160 years ago & was set 100 years prior. We haven't moved past Puritanical ideals yet? Really, really sad.>> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

Donald Duck never wore pants!

All lawyers, doctors, and business professionals know that dressing in clothing that appeals to basic animal desires doesn't help you garner respect or other such lofty ideals. While it is valid to point out that the body isn't something to put under lock and key, there is also something to be said for respecting the biological cravings of your fellow man. Waving a vanilla wafer in front of a man on a diet is just cruel. Waving your tits around (which is a human sexual display) might be slightly inappropriate for a kids show...even if they don't understand it.

With that said...time to google some Katy Perry!

Wow there's some jaw droppingly depressing outlooks on the human body in this thread.

You'd almost think people were born with clothes.

As noted in the description and by a couple of comments, "But, as TMZ notes, Perry wasn't actually half-naked -- her outfit featured a flesh-colored mesh top that went all the way up to her neck, like a figure-skating costume."

Honestly, if anything, I think the Children's Workshop must be glad for the hit of viral marketing they're getting out of this. Go *femme
