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?
haha! the public is so naive!
So I think you need to revisit who has whos head up whos arse.
I say strip her of her singing contract and send her to jail.
And before anyone goes off saying she could have said no to the photo then just think... young artist, debut album, wanting to make it into the big time. I wouldn't say no to the record company/publicists demands.
