Following a pretty disastrous campaign starring Ashton Kutcher, which was sunk by complaints of racism, Popchips is back with one of the more inoffensive endorsers around: Katy Perry. In four new print ads, she makes a fake-boobs joke, pretends to be a vampire, and generally hams it up in the most bubblegummy way possible. The campaign is by Zambezi in Los Angeles, which apparently dodged responsibility for the Kutcher spots. Three more ads, plus credits, after the jump.
