Weird Science: The Dress Color Debate & Why No One Can Agree… (VIDEO) #TheDress

Feb, 27 2015 | Written by ATLien

This one image of a dress has sparked a huge online debate for days now after a woman posted online asking:

guys please help me – is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can?t agree and we are freaking the fuck out

What do you see? Is it white and gold? or blue and black? What color is the dress… ‘in real life’?

The fact that an image of an ugly dress could create an online battle is insane, but it’s hilarious nonetheless.

What started as an innocent question turned into a color war that’s lasted for over 48 hours. Many on social media have been arguing about whether the picture depicts a dress as blue with black lace fringe or white with gold lace fringe. And neither side is willing to budge… that is…. until they look again and the image changes color!

The dress even went ‘hip-hop’ when QuestLove got in on the fun, posting the dress several times on instagram stating:

But wait… this fight is about more than just social media, it?s about primal biology and the way human eyes and brains have evolved to see color in a sunlit world.

That being said, there is no debate. Everyone saw what they were supposed to see and it’s all totally scientifically explainable.

Can you please do a post on kenya moores fake behind?

She was recently on wendy williams a month or so ago and wendy vouched that her butt and body was not enhanced.

I went and did a little digging and watched her old pageant vids readily available on youtube.

These screenshots are from her 1993 Miss USA, The 1993 Miss Universe, and the 1994 Miss USA pageant and there’s a big difference between then and now. Continue Reading…
