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?
I know that knives are not something to take lightly in general...but this is a bit much.
don't people have better things to do than make something like this scandelous, when millions of people are being killed with knives, not taking a picture of someone holding one.
Seriously...there are far worse things going on than a popstar holding a knife... she could be cutting up her dinner ;)
again yahoo have published this why dont they withdraw it?
Yes the photo is very insensative, but firstly the idea for this picture probably wasnt her's, she may have been a little nieve letting them do it, but thats not a shootable offence.
Second off all they realised this picture was misleading so DIDNT release it. And on to my 3rd point this isn't a released publication by Katy or her advisors this has just been leaked out.
