Had they celebrated this as nothing more than a joy ride in a sex toy instead of attempting to characterize it as some sort of 'GREAT WOMEN'S ACHIEVEMENT', it would have passed the news cycle as just another vacuous celebrity news story.
Katy Perry struggles over tour, Gayle King under scrutiny after Blue Origin backlash | NewsNation Pop star Katy Perry and CBS morning show host Gayle King are getting slammed for joining film producer Kerianne Flynn, activist Amanda Nguyen, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and Jeff Bezos’ bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez on an 11-minute, $28 million per person joy ride to the outer edges of Earth’s atmosphere. Perry, who had claimed she was going to put the “[BLEEP]” back in astronaut, came in for special derision when, upon coming back to Earth, the singer said she felt “super connected to life” and “so connected to love.” But people were especially aghast as, during the flight, it looked like she spent most of her three minutes of weightlessness looking not out the window at Earth, but into the camera, first producing a daisy for her daughter also named Daisy, and then a set list for her upcoming 143 tour written on a paper butterfly... NFL reporter Jane Slater ripped into Perry as well, noting: “’The whole thing was embarrassing. So many smart women who worked their whole life to go to space and did the work. She (Perry) took a daisy and promoted a set list for her new album. If she really cared? Give your spot up to a young girl in the NASA program. Famed satirist Caitlin Moran even took the time to skewer the popstar in the Times of London, writing: “And so to Katy Perry, who, this week, became the first female multi-hyphenate in space. Blue Origin’s much-vaunted ‘all-female crew’ was not the first all-female crew in space — the Soviet Union managed that, in 1963 — but foolishly they didn’t include anyone who had their own fragrance or shoe range, so I guess that’s why the Soviet Union eventually collapsed.” Even fast-food chain Wendy’s took a dig at Perry on social media, commenting on a picture of the singer kissing the ground: “Can we send her back.”... King, who is considered a news journalist, and therefore is expected to play by CBS News rules of ethics — in which you are not supposed to accept any gifts, let alone one that costs millions — is said to be, by my sources, “under the microscope” right now, especially with CBS mornings’ dismal ratings... |
