Yesterday, #thedress toor over social media. You know the one. It went so viral that it even managed to create a rift in the KimYe home:
What color is that dress? I see white & gold. Kanye sees black & blue, who is color blind?

But just for fun, we created our own controversy. Introducing #theyarmulke:
