The Dress has been all the rage on the Internet last night and today.
Is the garment first posted by a confused, distressed Tumblr user white and gold? Yes, according to a great number of people who have studied it online.
No, swears the model who posed for it in an ad campaign. The Dress is blue and black. It's a debate that will likely rage on for years and years. Or will it?
The dress (or #TheDress, we should say, given its place in viral universe) is just the latest controversial article of clothing to generate World Wide Web headlines ...
In 2011, American Apparel drew criticism for its "Teenagers Do It Better" shirt for its suggestive slogan. Get ready for more American Apparel to come.
Yup, it's Urban Outfitters again. The company stopped selling this "Eat Less" shirt in January 2014 after a lot of uproar and outrage. Way to mock eating disorders, Urban!
Yoga pants during yoga? Obviously appropriate? Leggings under a long sweater or jacket? Ditto. But they've become a near-constant substitute for regular pants for many women going about their daily lives, which has resulted in much debate.
Zara quickly yanked this children's shirt off its shelves after complaints that the stripes and six-pronged star made it look like uniforms worn by inmates in Nazi Germany.
Twitter went nuts after Zara debuted this "White Is the New Black," T-shirt, which was meant to be a play on the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. It didn't go over so well.
Target drew ire for listing the color of a dress online as "Manatee gray" in its plus-sizes. It referrs to the exact same color as "dark heather gray" in all its other sizes.
Urban Outfitters also drew anger customers for its shirt that came in an "Obama/Black" color option. Supposedly this was a typo and the option was meant to read "Obama Blue," in reference to the democrat party.
Patrons were outraged by this Urban Outfitters shirt. It had the words "depression" written all over it, making many think that it was demeaning to those who suffer from mental illness.
Also in 2012, the Navajo Nation actually sued Urban Outfitters for its use of the trademarked word "Navajo" on products such as their "hipster panty. For real.
When it came to those (non) fashionable items, of course, there wasn't much to argue over. There weren't really sides to take. Only heads to shake.
The same can't be said for THE DRESS. At all.
As you can see here, celebrities from all walks of life are engaged in all-out Twitter warfare over this frock, though most can at least agree on one thing:
... White and Gold? Or Blue and Black? Celebrities have taken sides in this intense viral debate. Flip around to find out which star is on which color-based team.
F*ck the dress it's heinous. I have read the explanations and still cannot fathom how ANYONE sees white and gold and I think they're attention-seeking LIARS.
