KATY PERRY FINDS A HOME IN SPRINGFIELD

By RACHEL LEE HARRIS


UNEXPECTED TAGLINE:

Protests over a music video with Elmo will keep the pop star off "Sesame Street," but Ms. Perry's fans can see her later this year on "The Simpsons."


The tagline alone makes you wonder, Elmo? Maybe its just the comedic topic but the author phrases it so unexpectedly by putting protest, music video & Elmo in the same sentence.


OFFERS BOTH PERSPECTIVES:

The author maintains an unbiased perspective. She is informational on the situation but doesn't personally scrutinize Sesame Street for choosing not to air the video. She offers Sesame Streets view on Katy Perrys attire and the Simpsons view on Sesame Street. She also includes Saturday Night Live's take on the circumstance as well.
