Katy Perry's new pro military, pro war music video

[Ichingcarpenter]

It's not the worst thing I've ever seen... But really? You're just gonna up and join the military because you're flustered and angry about breaking up? Sounds like a rash and stupid decision. Maybe there's not an agenda behind this but I doubt it. Either way it's a stupid video and you know some of the girls that see that are gonna be influenced by it.

Some of them worship that lady like a god. I can see it now, "mommy I want to join the army like Katy Perry!"

Rolling Stone;
Katy Perry: I Want to Join the Illuminati!

"I guess you've kind of made it when they think you're in the Illuminati"

The Guardian

Katy Perry and the military-pop-cultural complex

Naomi Wolf



The creepy parts of the video, in my mind, are many: girl power is represented as what Perry accomplishes in the rigors of basic training. Feminine impulses toward romantic revenge are depicted as rightly channeled into getting armed and being shipped to some mystery Afghanistan-like set overseas, locked and loaded. Trade in your bad boyfriend for a hot AK-47!

The whole videography of the scenes at Camp Pendleton – in which Perry crawls through an imaginary minefield, trains underwater, learns she can do the impossible, etc – is straight out of Leni Riefenstahl: the same angled, heroizing upward shots, the same fetishization of physical power, of gleaming armaments, and of the rigor and mechanism of human beings cohering into living militarized units.

Russell Brand Slams Ex-Wife Katy Perry's 'Vapid' Lifestyle in New Doc

According to the Mirror, the comedian discussed how a 2010 visit to Africa for Comic Relief changed how he saw himself. "I'm associated with the very thing that I detest: vapid, vacuous, plastic, constructed, mindless celebrity," he said and just to make it clear those comments refer to Katy, added: "That's the very sea we're swimming in...'Oh, who's he? He's married to Katy Perry.'"

War Pigs by Black Sabbath

Bob Dylan's The Masters of War

Katy's Americana outfit.

1. LOL! Yeah, Katy Perry is what Ike warned us about.

Sheesh!

How old is this 'lust for war' from artists?

[Ichingcarpenter]

2. Propragada for the war machine

Your example is a non sequitur with no relevance
but thanks for promoting the thread.

[LonePirate]

3. This video is not new. It was released in early 2012.

[Fred Sanders]

15. Yes, but her support of Clinton is 2015 so anything to distort and attack her is fair game!

How dare you point out the title of the OP is a lie!

"Mommy, I saw the video from 3 years ago and now I want to be a combat soldier"!???

[Politicalboi]

4. I've never heard of her

Now get off my lawn damn kids!

[cherokeeprogressive]

19. She kissed a girl...

and she liked it.

[Throd]

5. I don't think my young daughters will be influenced by this in some horrible way.

I respect their intelligence.

[Brickbat]

6. Your first paragraph cracked me up.

I'm having some fun applying to other narrative music videos...

You're just gonna up and avoid a knife fight through a dance off just because Michael Jackson says so?

You're just gonna ditch school and go on a lesbian adventure with your best friend, complete with a cross-dressing scene in a strip club, just because you're having a bad day?

You're just gonna jump around in an empty smoky field and pop balloons just because you're mad about nuclear war?

[NightWatcher]

7. Beat It, Crazy, 99 Luftballons

how'd I do?

[Brickbat]

8. All too easy.

And betrays my age, too.

[WDIM]

9. Im with you this is another example of prowar propaganda.

Trying to influence women to join the military.

The MIC definately has a propaganda arm and it is entrenched in the enertainment industry.

[romanic]

10. ...

It's just a music video, it's not that serious. -_-

[obnoxiousdrunk]

14. +1 .. n/t

[MohRokTah]

11. This thread is 100 ROFLs worth of hilarity!

[NCTraveler]

12. I can't stop laughing.

For those who couldn't stomach the op, here is one of the gems.

"Katy Perry and the military-pop-cultural complex"

I'm not shitting you. I lofuckingl'ed and now my ribs hurt. I need to get in shape.

I have tears in my eye and it's taking me a minute to struggle through the op.

"Some of them worship that lady like a god."

"mommy I want to join the army like Katy Perry!"

We should just shut the whole damn internet down after this win.

13. Well, she is a Hillary supporter

[LanternWaste]

16. I've heard rumors the Bay City Rollers were involved in Kennedy's assassination.

Katy Perry, the Illuminati, and the Military-Industrial Complex... all in one post.

I do love unsupported absurdities on an otherwise boring Thursday afternoon.

However if one is compelled to find conspiracy and propaganda in a bubble-gum video... well, I've also heard rumors the Bay City Rollers were involved in Kennedy's assassination, and Kung Fu Fighting was written to advocate more American involvement in Viet-Nam, and contracted by the Rothschild family in their quest to control the northern hemisphere.

[TwilightGardener]

17. The only thing I liked in relation to her was Left Shark, but then

she and her legal team took all the fun out of that. What's left is just shitty pop music.

[Blue_Tires]

18. So this is one of those "pop star acts outrageous and folks don't know how to react"

things?

1. Naomi Wolf is a nutbar

2. Russell Brand should be the last one to fuckin' talk...

[Mendocino]

20. I thought only the

Air Force Glee Club uses autotune?

[Fumesucker]

21. Hey, we had our wildly popular pro war pop song too..
