I heard something about this on the news, and the fact that every feminist liberal douche bag is calling for a boycott on this video, makes me like it just a little.
No, I'm not a Katy Perry fan, really dont like her music, but this video/song at least shows some patriotism and pride.
Video is embedded in the article.
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

Not the biggest Katy Perry fan either but I am headed over to iTunes to throw a couple bucks her way. Plus she is pretty hot.

She needed a rifle coach on her for the part when she was shooting the M16, but yes, very hot...
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

-buys cd, throws it away, walks away laughing. ...and not a single f*** was given that day

(i dont support katy perry, I defend the freedom shes using, and thats why she'll never have to thank me for buying her cd today)
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

Maybe it would mean something if she actually went through that stuff?.. Yeah she's hot and shot a rifle but I don't get the G.I Jane fantasy video. Kind of meaningless for someone who didn't go through any of that to make a pretend video as if her song means anything more because of it. What's the message? Her pretend boyfriend cheated on her so it motivated her to join the pretend Marines? I guess maybe it would mean something if it really happened to someone and they wrote the song for her.
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

Irrelevant, she can make whatever video theme she wants, if she wanted it patriotic, fine. I still see no definitive reason to boycott it. The direction of it does not appear, to me, to be disrespectful.
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

The Corps would not have approve of it if it did anything but paint the USMC in a positive light, since AD Marines and facilities were used for the vid.

She's a cool chick, in my book. USO shows and the whole lot. Does more than most civvies do. Good on her, I say
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

I still prefer the commercials with Marines climbing cliff faces/fighting lava monsters/winning a chess match vs satan.
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

When would a WM ever touch a CRRC??
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

you never really see the WM lifting and holding the log above their heads...the limited contact i had with the WMs at MOC training was that they were a bunch of POGs that couldnt even hang with a light morning jog
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

Not bad. Won't buy the music though. Yes, she tramps the world with good company of the USO, and hell yeah I support that, but the story of the video is probably the most timeless story of so many female recruits both Marine and Army. Oh how I tried to offer counsel on the behavior in barracks without actually saying it, how many times I told my Joes to look out for her, but it only took a few days and each and every time I would hear on of my Joes,"Sergeant, we tried, but she is just like all the rest, nothing but a barraks ho"

Eh? You disagree? Your service never saw that? BWAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ROFL
But the Perry video wasn't too bad. I liked it.
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

I'm impressed. When she married that British limp wrist I bunched her with the rest of the Hollywood POS. May be I was wrong. Have to keep and eye on her there may be a real american girl in there after all.
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

I'm "forced" to listen to her, as my son's a drummer, daughter a guitar player. He did a cover of one of her songs a while back.

He's in college now learning music production (and business) so he - hopefully - won't be living in the basement or an "Occupy" movement site somewhere after graduation.

I like Katy. Quirky. She needs to find her center. Like a lot of kids her age.

Katey Perry signed the divorce papers with smily faces...
 
Re: I'll gove Katy Perry some props.

I don't believe this is at all about patriotism- buying into that is nothing but marketing. This is about "woman power" or "empowering women"... Not about serving your country.

But she is hot no doubt.
