This highly anticipated video has brought about a lot of controversy, as Katy Perry lives up to her reputation of always steering clear of the norm. While most times her endeavors are embraced, on this occasion many took offense to her message.Feminist author Naomi Wolf claims that the video was a bunch of marine propaganda and she attempted to rally people into boycotting her video. In this attempt she failed miserably, but she did get some attention from the police though, as she was arrested during Occupy Wall Street protest in October singing the same anti-Perry song. Nevertheless Perry has steered clear of these accusations as she claimed she chose the marines because they best depicted what she was trying to say. I happen to like Katy Perry’s music, in moderation of course, I am not a big fan of pop icons. I do like the fact that she is always willing to do something different and march to her on beat. And for that I salute you Private Perry.
