PBS ceded to parents who complained that the Katie Perry & Elmo “Hot and Cold” parody showed a little more skin that kids should see. Was it a calculated media draw, or are parents just over reacting? After all, Elmo is nude.
Here’s the clip, which PBS is permitting Katie to use. But don’t look for it on PBS brought to you by the letters XXX.
Wow how’s this for timing? I’m working with some other video creators on what I think will be a very fun and popular parody of video-game violence and legacy PSAs. I sent out a message to some fellow creators and I’ll give you the verbatim quote I used just moments ago: I can’t wait until…
In today’s YouTube “highest rated comedy videos of the day,” my videos represent spots 5, 6 and 8. YouTube, as you probably know, represents the vast majority of online viewing. So does this mean I produced the funniest videos on the planet this weekend? Of course not. I have an advantage because I have a…
I just realized I hadn’t blogged dingle in a while. It’s so 2006. So I decided to just cut and paste a video suggestion from Jan: not sure this is up your ally but since it’s Olympic week… what about curling? where do they get their official professional equipment, specifically brooms? might be interesiting to…
Francis Stokes, creator of “God Inc.” posted this video to update us about pitching the show to networks. God Inc. is a series that portrays Heaven as a company. This clip contains a hysterical spoof of the perils of pitching television. I met and interviewed Francis when I was in LA, and he’s as cool…
I remember a quote I received 16 years ago via e-mail — back in the days when you couldn’t verify things through Snopes, Google or Hoaxbusters. To put this time in perspective, a girlfriend challenged me to find the original name for Winnie the Pooh and it took a phone call to Disney’s librarian to…
Kayak, a travel site, has been running a “trip ideas” campaign with simple quirky 15-second ads, such as a “visit Alaska before the big oil companies do.” Or “discover a coffee before it’s available at Starbucks.” The latter I find myself playing over and over for the cappuccino echo. Here’s the lot of them. Make…

Nalts, you better put a T-shirt on the next time you’re editing a video or else they’re coming to GET YA!
Maybe they censored her because she has no talent is a marrying a freakazoid.
While at first I was a little shocked that they showed Katy Perry with a low cut dress, but I guess she could have wore something much worse. Anyways, its up to the parent whether slightly revealing clothing effects their children or not.
How about a top-ten list for CENSORED Sesame Street collaborations?
10. “Elmo’s Bad Touch” featuring The Bloodhound Gang.
…
Katy hoping to play dress up with Elmo is disturbing.
hmmm not sure how to feel “katie perry” < is that character, but it IS a kid show… so maybe a different outfit would have been a better choice. and maybe Sesame street should have known and costumed her better…
Ugh. I can’t believe I watched the whole thing.
^ I didn’t
Here’s how to answer this question – would you let your kid dress up and go to school that way?
Dude you have no quran. Umm Katie hangs with LisaNova, and Lisanova was in a video with me. So you’re three degrees of separation from Elmo if you’re reading this.
Forget Katie Parry; Elmo was totally naked throughout the entire video. Full frontal Muppet nudity at around 0:45… scandalous!
I’d do her.
