I saw this on "The Daily Show" so I had to go look it up to make sure Jon wasn't having me on. Basically, it's a J. Crew ad where a woman is playing with her young son and in one photo, is painting his toenails neon pink. AND IT HAS CAUSED CONTROVERSY. About gender identity.

And you only get one guess as to what "news" network is making the most hay with this.

Further proof we are apparently far too affluent in this country with not enough adversity in our lives. Or, you know, some people are. How else would they have time to worry about such bullshit?

I wonder if any of those people ever watched Monty Python or Milton Berle or practically any '70s comedy variety shows??? A frequent skit was the men dressing up as women!!!

Hello? I suppose they would say that's what caused so many gay men to come out in the '80s.....

It's creativity, people. Get over it.

Johnny Depp caked on eyeliner for three movies and they grossed billions of dollars, and he's a grandfather's age. Maybe it's okay since he's fathered two children and therefore proven he's straight? /sarcasm
