Katy PerryKaty Perry’s lady-frenching ways aren’t popular with the Christians that used to buy her albums when she was a gospel singer:

BLACKLICK, OH — A church in the Columbus area is turning heads with its public spin on the pop song “I Kissed a Girl.”

A sign outside Havens Corners Church in suburban Blacklick has the lyrics from the song’s chorus, “I kissed a girl and I liked it” — and adds, “Then I went to hell.”

Singer Katy Perry topped the charts earlier this summer with the song, about a girl kissing another girl.

Church pastor Rev. Dave Allison says the Bible is clear that homosexuality is a sin, so the sign is intended as a loving warning to teens.

He says it has confused some people who either don’t know the song or don’t understand the message.

Director Lynne Bowman with the gay rights group Equality Ohio says what the sign means to her is that the church isn’t very accepting.

HAHA!!

    Wait a minute, I thought Katy Perry topped the charts with that song about fifteen years ago, and Perry wasn’t the smash she is now. When you’re able to reintroduce an old single to a new audience–and get criticized for it, with no one remembering the reaction the first time around–then you’re making a really capable comeback.
