Elmo Would Play With Katy Perry Again

Katy Perry may have made the headlines for her cleavage getting cut from a recent Sesame Street skit, but it's her co-star Elmo that's becoming a bit of a publicity whore. The character turned up on Good Morning America this morning to discuss the controversy (video below), and insisted that he "loves Miss Katy and we had a good time. We’ll have another playdate.” We're guessing it'll be chaperoned. Executive producer Carol-Lynn Parente also spoke on the show this morning, saying, "(Perry) is a wonderful musical talent and we had a good time. We would never produce anything that was inappropriate. We were surprised not only at the amount of feedback but how fast it came in. It was a lot."

"(Perry) is a wonderful musical talent...."

This proves the Sesame Street drug allegations that first surfaced on Burt is Evil are true.

Sesame Street jumped the shark in the mid 1990s. Its now dumbed down ADD shit for "sensitive" kids. Classic Sesame Street had the real world and could be watched by adults. If Noggin still had the reruns I'd watch em if theres nothing better on. The make believe, cartoon, and lala shit thats on Sesame Street and every other "educational" kids show just leads to kids that grow up into spoiled Parises that think the whole world revolves around them with no consequences just like on these stupid 21st century kids shows. People with imaginary friends get locked away in padded cells remember and people that draw on walls get locked up in Rikers wheres its no imagination time.
