Sesame Street cancelled Katy Perry‘s music video with Elmo which is due to air this coming Monday. This is because of the low-cut dress of Perry showing her cleavage while singing with Elmo her “Hot n Cold” rendition on Sesame Street. The video teaser was up in YouTube and parents are complaining that Katy Perry‘s dress is inappropriate for a children show like Sesame Street.
Sesame Street released a statement that their goals have always been written in two levels and that for the child and for adults. They believe that a child learns best when co-viewing with their parents or nanny and they put celebrity segment to interest adults as well. However, based on the response of parents to the said video, Sesame Street said that they also value their viewers opinions especially those of parents. So they have decided not to air Katy Perry‘s segment on television.
