Speaking of Katy Perry, see what a hilarious review my friends at PluggedIn Online wrote about her album, One Of The Boys. Remember, PluggedIn Online is part of Focus On The Family, so these sort of stupid reviews were to be expected. By the way, I've got this album, and love it!
Katy Perry One of the Boys
Pro-social content
Several songs contain passing nods to prayer. On "One of the Boys" Perry embraces her femininity and warns a guy seeking sex, "Not until you gimme my diamond ring." "Fingerprints" alludes to Matthew 7:24-27 and talks of living life with gusto and leaving a legacy. Unfortunately ...
Objectional content
That song contains a muted s-word and mentions homeless people trading sex for lodging. The malicious "Ur So Gay" insults a boyfriend Perry claims is so effeminate that he could pass for a homosexual. She refers to male anatomy and masturbation, telling the guy she hopes he dies during autoerotic asphyxiation. More bitter barbs and profanity mar "Hot N Cold." The hit "I Kissed a Girl" finds a woman giddy after alcohol leads to a forbidden smooch with a female stranger ("You're my experimental game ... Ain't no big deal, it's innocent"). Sexual innuendo appears on "If You Can Afford Me" and "Thinking of You," while "One of the Boys" draws inspiration from Vladimir Nabokov's teen temptress, Lolita. An underage couple get drunk and blow their money before "Waking Up in Vegas." "I'm Still Breathing" is a musical suicide note to a boyfriend—a last-ditch attempt to get some reaction.
Summary advisory
One chorus on this angry, disturbed disc asks, "Have you ever been so lost?/Known the way and still so lost?" Interesting, coming from a former Christian artist (as Katy Hudson) who left to follow idols like Alanis Morissette. Pray this prodigal finds her way home.

Well, that's an interesting way of looking at the cd. Maybe I'll check their website. Thanks.
There is nothing untrue in the PluggedIn reviews. PluggedIn is an excellent resource for those that want to make informed decisions regarding moral content before purchasing a movie ticket or CD. Its not funny, at least not to parents who want to protect themsevles and their children from unwanted messages, images, and influences.
Actually, it's extremely funny, and mostly insane. I enjoy reading their reviews every month, gives me a great laugh!
