Well, good gracious, girl, turn your head while you cry! Salty tea is perfectly dreadful!

WHAT the hell?

Did anyone else think the puppet sounded way too much like the voice of Triumph, the insult comic dog?

Usually I think the P's antics are cute, but this is just ...

well, not cute.

Put that over black fishnet stockings and a purple tee shirt that says Colorado Avalanche Hockey and add a sulferous yellow feather boa that is seriously molting... ooo la la!

Now, feel SEXY! Get in touch with your inner showgirl! FEEL that feminine empowerment!

I feel most empowered wearing my blue jeans, sitting on the couch with a glass of ice tea and a book while my husband cooks dinner.

My thoughts exactly. It is enough to make one regret ever being amused by her.

I'm all for artistic expression and experimentation, but IMO that act did NOT work.

here we have the wonderful but mental world of youtube

She's good performer and has great alien like bellyrolls. Someones personal nuttiness wouldn't put me off taking a workshop with them.

Nutty or not, it's still in remarkably bad taste for someone who performs a Middle Eastern art form.

May I ask, are people upset because they feel it was in poor taste or because of her association to MED?

just plain bad taste from her or any one and not very funny nor clever just objectionable.

I can see doing this...sometimes stuff is funnier in concept than in execution, and I can see some of what they might have been trying to do - I'm still not sure where they were actually trying to go with this...

...but I wouldn't have picked this out of my body of work to share with the world on You-tube.

Fail!

Team America: World Police actually said a few relevant things with their politically incorrect puppet show. This doesn't compare.
