Really-- this is all we have to talk about?

I'm listening to a story on the "Today Show" about a J. Crew ad in which a photo shows a woman playing with her 5 year-old son -- by painting her son's toe nails hot pink. So far they've spent more than 5 minutes on a supposed controversy over the appropriateness of the image. They have "experts" talking about whether this represents some kind of blurring of gender roles which will impact this child and other children who see this image, requiring psychotherapy later in life. They've spent more time talking about this "controversy" than discussing the burget and federal deficit. Really? What I see is a photo of a woman playing with her delighted child. Playing. Not lecturing, beating, berating or abandoning, but playing. And all those people who find the image offensive must have way too much time on their hands. Talk about over-thinking! It's an ad. It's one image. Don't buy from J. Crew if it bugs you that much. And don't assume that what offends you will in some way undermine the morals of the rest of the world. Play with your kids, hug them, tell them you love them-- and paint their toenails every color of the rainbow!
