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She should be withdrawn by the MTV organizers and replaced immediately.
She is a senseless bimbo, in the media spotlight for probably the next three months then forgotten. But while she is noticeable she should show some modicum of sense towards her easily influenced young fans and more respect towards those families who have lost their children because of the mindless use of knives which she is advocating. Shame on her !
Let's get some perspective, it was responsibly discarded as an unsuitable photograph and wasn't used, just as millions of photo shoot photographs get discarded each week and only a few selected. It should not have been made public knowledge.
NO EXCUSES
