Don't Give A Flip About The Dress Have you heard about "The Dress"?

Not Monica's: not Kate's wedding dress; not Lupita's stolen dress*;
but this: Over 16 millions views, or tweets or whatever; all because people could not agree on the color.

It was on every local morning, afternoon, evening, and nightly news.  Are they really that desperate for content?

They even pulled out the scientists, and the psychologists to explain; why people perceive it differently.

My thoughts on the dress can be summed up by one thought: best to remember that horizontal stripes do not look flattering on everyone.

*Did you hear?  Lupita's stolen dress has been found.
