“Her message: I’m a sex object and I endorse this ad. Backward!”
The Obama campaign has repeatedly appealed to women as if the feminist movement never happened – that is, as a monolith who can’t get sex and reproduction off the brain. Sandra Fluke and Lena Dunham have relayed the President’s message quite clearly: women should and do decide whom to vote for based on sex, birth control, and abortion. The debt, the deficit, America’s role in the world? Those aren’t women’s issues. Funny, I thought it was men who turned women into sex objects.

Her judgement is suspect. Russell Brand?

Apparently she wants to lose about half her fans…….. Eh, still hot.

It’s only sexist/racist/homophobic/hateful when Republicans do it.

Feminists want first and foremost to destroy the American family and its position near the core of our values. Destroy the family, and the path is further cleared for Marxism. That’s their goal with every move, from trying to popularize a trend of women refusing to take their husband’s surname to promoting gay marriage.
In doing so, proudly boasting of their own promiscuity is among their chief ideological weapons. Encourage other women to give away sex, ignore their own self-respect, and both the urge for men to marry and the role of Christian modesty in American society are undermined. They may act offended at being called “slut” if they can make it politically opportune to do so, but they wear it as a badge of honor.

As for Katy Perry, the best line I saw regarding her was on Twitchy, asking if the other side of the dress said “backward” so she’d know how to put it on.

Actually, it is worse. This Johnny Lewis, a drug head murderer, was one of her ex-boyfriends.

Is this that Justine Bieber I’ve been hearing so much about?

I like Elmo better

Stupid women vote for Obama.
Schadenfreude on November 4, 2012 at 4:58 PM
Have you ever look at her Mom? Katy Perry is apparently a big pop star now, but she will be MUCH BIGGER in 5 to 10 years.

There really is nothing redeeming about him, is there? Is also likely the worst comedian I have ever seen in my life.

Eve was the first feminist – it’s all been downhill ever since.
OldEnglish on November 4, 2012 at 5:02 PM
Shake your money maker, Hobag!
Pork-Chop on November 4, 2012 at 5:03 PM
Let the Dems get the pop star vote. Hopefully Romney gets the popular vote on Tuesday!

I don’t know if some of these celeb’s are smart enough to realize that their obnoxious endorsements actually do hurt their bottom line. There are some that I just can’t bother with anymore, and I won’t spend money on their movies or C.D.’s. They’re certainly entitled to their opinion, but when they use their status to push their candidate- nah, no thanks.
BettyRuth on November 4, 2012 at 5:16 PM
Cunning Stunt.
Joe Mama on November 4, 2012 at 5:20 PM
Dear Katy,
Shut up and just shake it. Thats why you get paid.
BobMbx on November 4, 2012 at 5:21 PM
Lad, are ya sayin she may have to be avoidin’ Southwest Airlines at some point to save some money?
BobMbx on November 4, 2012 at 5:23 PM
Take your top off, Katy.
xblade on November 4, 2012 at 5:24 PM
Would big momma or the kids wear that rubber dress? How about Oprah or Mika/?
ted c on November 4, 2012 at 5:25 PM
That’s not just a ‘skin-tight dress’, that’s a very expensive latex rubber dress that probably requires a staff of four people to get it on her.
slickwillie2001 on November 4, 2012 at 5:25 PM
No way in hell are my daughters downloading any more of her iTunes crap. Put that in your rubber dress and shake it tootsie.
ted c on November 4, 2012 at 5:29 PM
Katy Perry is weird. She wants to be known as the preacher’s daughter while acting like a total slut. Even when she appeared on the Muppets, her costume was disgusting. I think they might not have aired it.
I saw Kurt Sutter post a message to Russel Brand on twitter. I couldn’t find what he was responding to, but Sutter said something to the effect: ‘You’re giving me advice on interpersonal relations with staff??!! You’re banging one of your employees.’
[Theoretically, so is Sutter, but he married her before he hired her.]
Blake on November 4, 2012 at 5:31 PM
I wouldn’t put it past the Mooch to try to stuff her overwide arse into it…
Gingotts on November 4, 2012 at 5:32 PM
In that dress, she looks like a liter of Pepsi.
Blake on November 4, 2012 at 5:32 PM
No, she’ll just have to buy two adjoining seats.
bayview on November 4, 2012 at 5:32 PM
Idiot: Wearing a blue dress around a Dem President is not smart.
derft on November 4, 2012 at 5:35 PM
Oh my, to get one of those on Mooch you would need a service station’s pneumatic tire mounting machine.
slickwillie2001 on November 4, 2012 at 5:38 PM
So she has horrible taste in men…..and presidential candidates. Who knew!?!
terryannonline on November 4, 2012 at 5:39 PM
Video of the event.
terryannonline on November 4, 2012 at 5:40 PM
this one is probably of the wash n’ wear variety…IYKWIM
ted c on November 4, 2012 at 5:45 PM
Rubber dresses are stain resistant.
BDavis on November 4, 2012 at 5:46 PM
This is the song Lena Dunham was listening to when she was voting.
terryannonline on November 4, 2012 at 5:46 PM
Blue condom dress.
Looks comfy.
profitsbeard on November 4, 2012 at 5:52 PM
I think when Motley Crue did their first tour, Vince Neil got busted by Canadian customs for having a suitcase full of porn. I believe also the outfits they were wearing (through customs) were considered “dangerous weapons”.
It was all staged by the Crue to foster a bad boy image.
Celebrities back Obama to look cool. And – Obama IS cool. A lot cooler than Willy McDole is, admit that much please.
They don’t give a sh8t about Obama getting re-elected, it’s just a ticket punch for coolness.
I still like Katy Perry – just like I still like Motley Crue.
HondaV65 on November 4, 2012 at 5:53 PM
She looks like a giant Pepsi can with a microphone.
DarthBrooks on November 4, 2012 at 6:10 PM
Bingo.
KMC1 on November 4, 2012 at 6:16 PM
I’m actually disappointed. Slight girl crush on her, perhaps. Her idiot logic confounds me.
Sad face.
Bee on November 4, 2012 at 6:49 PM
All I know about katy perry is that I was in Kauai over Christmas and apparently so was ms. perry. My family happened to go ATV riding and Zip-lining a day or two after her. Guides on both tours commented that she and her brother had been there in the past couple days … and both also commented that she was a lousy tipper.
