Katy Perry transforms herself into a U.S. Marine in her latest power-pop single, "Part of Me," which addresses female empowerment and pays particular tribute to service women.

However, at least one media type doesn't support Perry's Marines shout-out.

Prominent feminist Naomi Wolf, author of "The Beauty Myth" and one of many who were arrested amid the Occupy Wall Street protests last year, is urging Americans to boycott the singer, labeling her video "a total piece of propaganda for the Marines."

I wouldn’t have known about it, but had to see what was bugging Niomi Wolf. Boycott not working so well, as I joined 21,510,000+ viewers.

After watching the video, it’s quite obvious that Ms. Perry had to have quite a bit of co-operation with the Marines to make it.

I don’t like what passes for ‘music’ these days, but I totally enjoyed the song and video. Propaganda for the Marines? It could be...and so what!

Was Cher’s “Turn Back Time” video propaganda for the Navy?

Lat's be fair about this.

As soon as the silk stocking crowd in Hollywood, rescues American hostages from the clutch of Barbary pirates, defeats the Kaiser's best at Belleau Wood, bloody the Emperor's nose at Wake Island, raises the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima, endures the meat grinder of Okinawa, survives winter at the Chosin Reservoir, kicks the NVA's asses at Hue and Khe Sanh and drives a stake through the heart of al queda in Ramadi and Fallujah, then we should politely listen to them whine about the United States Marine Corps. Until then...

I barely remember that one. The song was forgettable...as is Cher.

Navy propaganda? I dunno. Was this Navy propaganda as well?

OK I watched the video and I dont see what the big deal is. Its a nice video. Glad I bought one of her CD’s for Christmas. Perhaps deep down inspite of some of her antics she has some good conservative or traditional american values in her heart.
