Sesame Street "I Love My Hair" Song Goes Viral

Sesame Street's I Love My Hair song goes viral, after being written for young ethnic girls to embrace their beautiful hair. The writer of the song was inspired after his gorgeous Ethiopian daughter was discouraged that her hair didn't look like Barbie Doll hair.

The song goes on to sing about all the ways that an African American girl can wear her hair. It talks about how beautiful hair is and how the muppet singing the song LOVES her hair.

It's a great message to send, and quite honestly I am surprised that no one came up with this song before, as self esteem is always very important for young kids.

The Sesame Street I Love My Hair was released around the same time as Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" Video. I would like to see Willow come to Sesame Street and do an "I love my Hair" remix.

Katy Perry Too Hot for Sesame Street, True Blood Parody Not

Katy Perry was kicked off Sesame Street for being "too hot" in her cleavage-bearing getup. However, the popular children's show then went on to parody the HBO hit series, "True Blood." Now, if this isn't contradictory, I don't know what is!

Katy Perry was looking cute in a green dress. You could see that some effort was made to flatten down her 34 D's, and overall if you know the singer you know the look is one of her more conservative looks. However, some parents saw too much skin when a clip was released on YouTube and in the end, the show announced that they were pulling the clip from the New Year's Eve show.

Then, the unthinkable happens. The children's show parodies True Blood. Yes,that's right - the gory, sex-laden Sunday late night cable TV show for adults. Of course, the parody is more for the parents than the children.

Somehow I think it all got backwards somewhere along the line. Katy Perry's Sesame Street appearance wasn't over the top, and was quite fun and kid based. True Mud - the parody of True Blood is for adults and just plain disturbing.
