I'll give Katy Perry some props.

[desertrat1979]

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.

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.

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.

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

I still prefer the commercials with Marines climbing cliff faces/fighting lava monsters/winning a chess match vs satan.

When would a WM ever touch a CRRC??

 

[bassani]

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.

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.
