The dress is white and gold.

Some people, who are liars, claim that it’s black and blue.

It began as a Tumblr post by a woman who couldn’t tell if a dress she was looking at was white and gold or black and blue (it’s white and gold). Now, it’s a nationwide crisis.

What the hell color is this dress?

(It’s white and gold.)

The freakouts began on Tumblr.

Then spilled over into Twitter.

Mindy Kaling chimed in, incorrectly.

Then B.J. Novak corrected her.

Then Mindy Kaling chimed in again, bless her heart.

Then Taylor Swift lied herself into a breakdown.

Relationships were ruined.

Dress truthers emerged.

Elizabeth Banks short-circuited.

This guy tried to distract everyone from what was really important.

But here’s where it starts to get creepy.

Before, when I looked at the dress, I thought it was white and gold.

Then, I thought it was black and blue (which it is).

Wait.
