Back in September, I commented on singer Katy Perry being booted off Sesame Street for showing (in the opinion of some parents) to much cleavage. In fairness to Ms. Perry, I didn’t agree with the Sesame Street decision and said so here.
Last night, Ms. Perry was on The Simpsons and to be blunt, she got her revenge on the Sesame Street crew. To be honest, the segment shown last night was filmed in early September just before Sesame Street said no to her video with Elmo. Nevertheless, last night Katy Perry was fun and raunchy and included a not so subtle reference to oral sex. In short, she was everything she was not on the Sesame Street video. I give credit for this to Al Jean of The Simpsons for sticking it to PBS by reminding us during the segment that the Katy Perry portion was brought to us by the letter: ü (Umlaut U) and the number: e (not the letter e, but the exponential sign).
Only on The Simpsons could you hear the “39 Days of Christmas” and Mr. Burns coo that he kissed a girl who had a things for puppets and he liked it. It was a well done show and worthy of smiles all night. A portion of show can be seen here if you missed it.
