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?

and still i got arrested for my lil pocket knife the other day here in mozambique. hahaha... but i read the law as it is written, and there is no definition of "white arms" ... so if i carried a spoon i could be arrested too. hahahahaha. the world is stuffed....
in short... big deal she posed with a knife.
how many kids these days play GTA??
just think a bit
whats the big deal, its only a PICTURE, people are going to carry knives regardless, i swear, the UK is so highly strung....im ashamed to call myself british!
likewise! So so dumb!
Who cares!?
Sure knifes are bad an all, BUT SHE DIDNT KILL ANYONE!
I'd never heard of her before this came to light. Now I have!
But please then, do also ban James Bond movies and Claude Van Damme, Arnold S, etc ... and, well John Wayne ... they are also not good role models!
Leave the poor girl alone.
