If you can't view the image, it's the cover (via Cover Awards) of pop culture rag Life & Style Weekly, featuring before-and-after pix of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt with longer hair and shorter hair, reading: "Why is Angelina turning Shiloh into a boy?" Beneath the large yellow headline, subtext reads: "A boy's haircut and clothes. Calls her 'John.' No girlie things. Is it harming the 3-year-old?"

ZOMG!!!eleventy! It's a girl-child with a gender-neutral haircut! O NOES! Let us all immediately commence upon BLAMING HER MOTHER!!!
