Katy Perry hits back at 'knife outrage' story

Singer mocks tabloid newspaper with new picture

Katy Perry has mocked tabloid newspaper The Sun for claiming a publicity photo featuring her holding a knife had sparked public outrage.

Last Wednesday (October 22) the newspaper ran a front page story claiming that the photo had sparked a storm following a series of high-profile knife crime attacks in the UK.

However, Perry has since posted a photo of her holding a spoon in a mock-pose on her blog, ">Katyperryblog.tumblr.com, along with a message slamming the paper's journalistic standards.

"I do condone eating ice cream with a very large spoon [as opposed to knife crime]," she wrote. "Dear Sun: You deserve a time out. Your 'journalistic' approach has half the soul of the National Enquirer. Shame on you."

Why must everyone insult Katy Perry just because she's Katy Perry? She's a lady who writes music. Her music got big. So what? Wellduhobviously, her response was, in fact, very witty. Renders your sarcasm as partial truth doesn't it?

Witty is clearly subjective. To me it's like watching two thickos fight in a school playground.
