Sesame Street Censors Katy Perry

What the hell is this world coming to? A few people write ''angry emails'' and Sesame Street cancels a segment featuring Katy Perry on account that she's wearing something too revealing? The #1 pop star in America? And they take the segment down on their website, but leave it on YouTube?

Just what was she wearing, for crissake? This, a vomit-green dress that shows a bit of cleavage:


America, land of the fucking free. Yeah, land of those with too much free fucking time on their hands having a disproportionate amount of power over what airs and what doesn't.

How hard is it to turn a TV off if you don't like what's on? Oh, wait - how about just switching channels, that way, you'd also maybe come up on another show you might like,and you'd be taking ad revenue away from the program you dislike?

But no: better to not let anyone watch... what's funny is these ultra-conservative types - who hate gay people so much they won't even let them die for their country - don't want their kids to see the beauty of a woman's body to give them an incentive to like girls... then again, we're not talking a naked chick, here, we're talking about a toned-down version of Katy Perry - her videos show a lot more than this fucking thing! And your kids have access to Mtv.com just as easily as Sesame Street's website, by the way.

And the ultra-conservatives are always the first to scream ''Hitler!'' at anything ''the left'' says and puts into fruition (mainly things 'for all'' to use, like medicare, health care, food stamps, trying to revive the economy), yet I seem to remember Nazi Germany as being a place that was more restrictive for all... and aren't those people stopping TV shows from airing the same fuckers who want less government? Which is it, folks? You can't be both against polygamy and cheat on your spouse.

Fuck - with 24, My Name Is Earl, Arrested Development and so many other great TV shows forced off the air, I'm starting to wonder if people who like TV shows shouldn't start writing TV stations to show those ''in charge'' that people overwhelmingly prefer quality programming over stale, safe, pseudo-family-friendly, mind-numbingly boring crap.
