A Great Influence

Do you remember years ago when your friends and/or parents used to say “monkey see, monkey do”? In the articleSesame Street's Cleavage Problem” by The Daily Beast, it mentions how the new episode; that was supposed to come out on television but never did because the parents who watch this show with their children didn’t like Katy Perry revealing outfit choice. During this scene, Perry sings a parody version of her song “Hot and Cold”, she wears a veil and a “low-cut, tight dress” throughout it. Even though she is wearing a nude colored mesh fabric that covers the majority of her chest, parents still feel it is to inappropriate for their 2-6 year olds to be watching. Most children around the preschooler age tend to mimic what they see.
                My opinion about this is pretty strong. I know when I was around a preschool age, shows like Sesame Street, surely did not even think of having pop stars like Katy Perry on them. She isn’t exactly the best role model for younger children or really even teenagers my age. She doesn’t give off a very good impression. If you have ever really listened to her lyrics or even watched some of her music videos you would get that she is a “naughty person”. By “naughty person” I mean her lyrics are not exactly “Ring around the Rosy”, which is appropriate for younger children, they more about sex and going to clubs. Her music videos are for sure, not even close to appropriate for preschoolers. For example, in her “Teenage Dream” video she is in her under garments most of the time and her and her “guy” are doing inappropriate actions.. I am just saying that children shows, that should be fun and educational for the viewers, should really only contain puppets and good role models that “cover up” while on T.V. or out in public.
