Katy Perry in Knife Controversy
Pop sensation Katy Perry has caused outrage in the UK after a photo of her posing with a knife was discovered on the internet.
The picture was part of a series of photos taken to promote her debut album One of the Boys but was discarded as a leading image.
Perry who is best known for her single I Kissed A Girl which topped the UK charts earlier in the year, is still to comment on the picture.
Richard Taylor, father of knife victim Damilola Taylor, told The Sun newspaper "This woman's behaviour is unacceptable.
"She must be out of her mind to pose for a picture like this. There is nothing glamorous about knives - they wreck families."
What are your thoughts on the photograph? Is Katy at fault for posing with a deadly weapon or are media being too sensitive? Could this picture influence young people to carry knives or is it simply a harmless PR stunt?
She tries to cause a sensation to maximize the sales of her album and doesn't care about her reckless influence on segments of the population.
Sure knives are bad, but it is over the top to slam this picture, violent influences are pretty common, and far worse. Seeing this is less likely to influence kids to carry knives then where they live, who they directly associate with, or how they are raised.
You idiots!! You sound as dumb as the idiots that walk the streets with knives.
