I've really liked Katy ever since she was on How I met your mother. I'll never know the real Katy Perry obviously, but she seems like a sweet, hard working girl.

Huh, who'd have thunk Katy Perry would be involved in something that'd make me feel anything but revulsion.
Something new every day.


We should elect her as President...probably just as good as those other guys.

a battle to stop a group of committed fanatics without a shred of human empathy from pushing out the last vestiges of the flawed, inept, but well-meaning opposition standing in their way.


I steadfastly hold the view that those who are most suited to power are least suited to attaining power, and those who are least suited to power are most suited to attaining it. Those who feel no remorse are able to lie, cheat and steal their way to any goal whilst those who have the empathy we need in a leader would never dream of doing such a thing in return. The kind of leader we need now would never accept money from huge businesses in exchange for favours when they're in power. So they're never gonna get in power, and we're left to be led by those who are most capable of tricking us.

Think about it. If an extremely intelligent person decides (or is already decided) that they want something, it's very hard to stop them. It's simple to manipulate and trick people less intelligent than you are, we all know that, we've all surely experienced it at some point (perhaps through accident). The only thing that stops you is your conscience.

There are people in this world with immense intellect and empathy, people who are held accountable to their own conscience more than they could ever be held accountable in law. Yet we live in a world where we (on average at least) PREFER to listen to people who sound and look convincing.

There are people who spend their entire lives thoroughly investigating things to satisfy their own desire to understand the world - and we show skepticism towards THEIR opinion.

When a government drug expert reports upon scientific and statistical findings that show how marijuana and ecstasy are less harmful than alcohol (amongst other things), he was instantly sacked and replaced by someone who said something different.

We have government ministers in britain stealing from our pockets, getting caught in the act, and then later having the gumption to say "If you pay someone cash in hand, you are allowing them to dodge tax, therefore YOU are immoral." Do these idiots even understand the word "hypocrite"?

We actively shun and show disdain to intelligent people. We've become fixated on celebrity. When a huge news item comes along, we cut to katy perry's twitter feed to find out what she thinks, or a person on the street who knows nothing more than i do about the situation to hear what their opinion is. This is Idiocracy.

Guarantee Katy Perry's was tweeted by Russel Brand.

Thanks for voicing my exact sentiments and sharing some of your experiences.

I know concerned parents such as ourselves are probably more likely to have well-adjusted kids, but I still wish there could be some way to really shield their brains from being deformed by all the poison that surrounds them.

I worry often and a lot about how I can possibly keep my sons from being perverted by this society.


Ditto. I think back to me growing up and the sort of soft introduction to adult material. First you'd see topless women in National Geographics, then maybe some 'lad's mags' in the store, nothing naked, just bikini stuff... then you might get hold of a Playboy and see naked women. And back then they were pretty much natural women too (sure, not 'average', but at least not silicon and botox plumped versions).

Then you might get to see some actual porn mags at your 'rough' friend's place...

These days: "Go on web, look up sex in google image search and get inundated with hard, filthy sex"

Yeah, quite concerned. Doing our best to shield our kids from it as much as possible. Plenty of talk about what sex is (we have 3 boys and a girl all under 9), and that side of things (my wife is a midwife, so it kind of comes up a lot), but shielding as much as possible from not just sex on the internet, but also what passes for mainstream music videos these days (I mean, fucking Katy Perry... FUCK).

I'm with you lucky. I have no problem with sex... no problem with masturbation, no problem with porn in and of itself (just what 90% of it has become)... but how engrained it's become and how central and how much it's pushing into the lives of younger and younger kids.

Yeah, it's not good :

when i open the thumbnail it shows "omg it's loki" kind of a spoiler

That does kind of ruin it. LOL. Thank you for telling me.

Wouldn't this have been easier if the lengths of the towropes had been staggered so they'd all have more room?


and without katy perry?

Fascinating stuff. rap, hip hop, and any of those sorts of 'music' are just laden with so much shit that I don't like finding my kids watching music videos on a weekend morning because it's filling their heads with such fucked up attitudes towards men and women it's just not funny.

Actually I take it back, it's not just rap and hip hop, it's about 70% of popular music is just filled with such rubbish. Katy Perry with her cream shooting breasts (although I guess that has Snoop Dog, so there's the 'rap' link), women dressed in as revealing as possible outfits, singing about buying all the latest shit, having sex with as many people as possible, it's all just fucked.

And yeah, isn't it fucking noble of him to suddenly turn around and decide that people shouldn't be calling his daughter a bitch and a 'ho' after he's been doing it for years.

If he does start making amends by giving money to groups, doing talks to youth as to why it was wrong of him and is wrong of others, then that can make a difference. Someone who they respect letting them know why it's not ok to call women a bitch or a ho, or treat them as sex objects... then that might make a difference. And that would be good

I kind of liked I Kissed A Girl, but this chick's singing voice literally stresses me out now.


I can tell it's her from about half a second of hearing the singing voice, and i also find it interesting (not necessarily bad) how she always sings chronologically about what she's done on a night out, or on a date, etc. Last friday night, we had a drink, might have kissed, then we went down to the boulevard, skinny dipping.... I think it's something fairly old fashioned that she is wittingly or unwittingly bringing back a bit.
