Yet, with all of this potential, the World Wide Web has suddenly become fixated on whether a dress is white/gold or blue/black. People are commenting on, debating, over explaining, and even arguing vehemently over this.

So, fellow members, I ask: has the Internet jumped the shark?

Perhaps I am overreacting. Maybe it only jumped the llamas.

Best regards,

And of course, Eric, you know that the origins of "Jump the Shark" go back to the waning days of the show, "Happy Days" when the Fonz literally jumped the shark on water skis. The show was done weeks later.
