According to the producers she's actually not showing any cleavage at all. The upper chest portion is just kind of flesh colored. If you freeze frame it's pretty clear that the silver necklace is actually a neckline. Still that's not a whole lot of dress. My guess is that puppeteer running Elmo convinced the crew to shoot the segment anyway so he could get an upskirt view on her.

Come on! That's not true--the costume is see-through with a sheer fabric covering her chest. All you have to do is watch her jiggle to know that is her skin and her breasts. It's a lot worse the bigger it gets. I suggest going on Youtube and maximizing it on a computer screen.

I'm all for free speech. Part of the reason I come here is because I know people are allowed to say whatever they want and it usually doesn't get edited. But this is just inappropriate for children. From "mommy what's that" to concerns with older siblings in this home, and, more importantly, the child wanting to emulate this behavior (establishing it as a norm for later in life, asking for an outfit that looks like that one at whatever age they are now), this is just a big problem.

Should we have dildos on the set of Sesame Street simply because kids don't know what they are? Kids mimic these shows--I know I did. I got a er spaniel when I was 5 because I saw Lady and the Tramp. My brother had Knight Rider toys. I had Zorro masks because the Disney Channel ran re-runs. We used to fight in the backyard of a neighbor because we all loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

She sings one of her songs. The original version comes on the radio and kids are going to start playing "tag." Some may want to look the part.

Anyone who thinks this is okay obviously has no experience with a child. If you show a child a sexual act too early in life, they will do what they do in most instances--mimic the behavior until someone explains what it is and when the appropriate time for that behavior is.

Its a good thing that these people saved kids from the horrors that are boobs. God knows that every kid who would have watched this would have been on Maury by the age of 13 and on porn set by the age of 18. Boobs are the devil.

It's how revealing the dress is, not the boobs. Kids will want to dress like this. You think it's okay to establish that a princess looks like a ?

[Chachachango]

Katy is ing overrated. I'll rather do Alyssa Bernal anytime over Katy.

[MI21]

I can not believe that people would give a about this, for sake.

[BlairForceDejuan]

You have to be a pretty big attention to wear that on a PBS show marketed towards 6 yr olds haha.

[IronMexican]

I can't imagine CH posting on 4chan. Butthurt far too easily.

You obviously have missed what women wear in Disney movies.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Darrin, please tell me you're not serious.

[MannyIsGod]

And yeah, little girls wear dresses like that all the time and its far from "whorish". Jesus christ you're insane.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

It's not the s, but the dress?

I never do this but I think this warrants it:

[JoeChalupa]

All I know is the Cookie monster wanted some milk. I can understand moms that have young toddlers views on this. I put the blame, if any, on the director or producers who should have realized the potential problems from the start. What a bunch of boobs.

[desflood]

Once again puritanical idiocy takes over. Why does everybody automatically think, "Oh God, SEX!" when they see a pair of boobs? I have to assume that not a single mother objecting to this episode has ever breastfed their child.

[byrontx]

The heck with Perry. My vote is for the choo-choo train lady. Covered from head to toe but she is still hot.

I'm gonna be honest I didn't read all this, but having traveled abroad this American fear of sex is ridiculous. Especially when compared to the permissive at ude towards violence. In the US, movies can feature decapitation, disemboweling, and all the in the Hostel movies but if a movie shows a guy kissing a girl's vagina its an immediate NC-17. , even showing vagina is usually an immediate NC-17.

Really, what's going to happen if a kid sees a boob? Nothing.

[monosylab1k]

One thing this controversy has ensured: This will be the most jacked-off-to clip of Sesame Street in at least 25 years.

Teeny Little Super Guy begs to differ

[Cyrano]

Looks like Elmo is confused

[Kermit]

I just showed it to my kids. They loved it, s and all. I told them that if they were lucky, they too could have boobs like that one day and that they wouldn't have to work for a living either.

[leemajors]

[bus driver]

I fail to see the problem here, seriously! It's not even slightly gratuitous boob. Must be all the sagging middle-aged mothers.

this......


that was weak, i seen more ty jiggling on the fat men walking down the street

[CosmicCowboy]

Who does that think she is showing cleavage on Sesame Street?

[Soul_Patch]

The heck with Perry. My vote is for the choo-choo train lady. Covered from head to toe but she is still hot.

Lol...my son loves Choo Choo Soul.

I always laugh thinking about the train driver dude having to go face his buddies after he gets off work with his suspenders w/ 1 unhooked....

lol 8th grade

[CheezWiz]

Her pale cleavage isn't even hot or sexy.

[samikeyp]

One...one Katy Perry boobie!....two! two Katy Perry boobies! Ah..hah..hah!!

[MannyIsGod]

Why?

The crazy, it's going around SpursTalk more virulently than average these days.
