Everything's A-OK

Let me begin by saying that my son does not watch Sesame Street. Have you heard about the controversy they have come in to with this Katy Perry appearance? Evidently she and her breasts were going to sing a duet with Elmo. (That little guy could name-drop all day, huh?) Anyways, there was a bit of a protest from parents when the video debuted on Youtube. Sesame Street has decided to cut her appearance on the episode, to save face. The thing is, however, that they thought it was completely appropriate to have this singer on their show in her revealing outfit. (Hey kids, this episode has been brought to you by the letter 'B' and the number '2'. )
Well, I, for one, completely agree with the show's producers. There is nothing wrong with Ms. Perry teaching our children. Let's look at her credentials:
1. She has experience in experimental games
2. She has knowledge of human nature
3. She has knowledge of how to send out an S.O.S
4. She has banking knowledge, specifically withdrawing cash
5. She has extensive knowledge of opposites, for example, 'black and white', 'hot and cold', 'yes and no'
6. She is credited with the diagnoses of a new psychiatric disorder: 'love bi-polar'
7. Like Sesame Street, she also has an interest in places that are better and knows of a place where the grass is really greener
8. She has knowledge of good nutrition and has promoted 'sippin' on a juice'
9. She has experience in architecture and can build a floor with nothing more than sheets
10. She has an interest in teenagers and their dreams
It seems she is over-qualified to be on Sesame Street, teaching our children. Why would anyone have a problem with this? Why should we condemn her for bringing her wealth of knowledge and experience? I am certain, in light of the above evidence, she is merely teaching our children an anatomy lesson and we should welcome it. In fact, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears would also be highly qualified and I might list their credentials at a later time. Why are all these parents in an uproar; sheesh...
