J. Crew couldn't have paid for this kind of publicity. It seems the color pink has the power to make a young child gay. So say critics of a J. Crew print ad showing a mom painting her boy's toenails
pink. Some pundits questioned the moral rectitude of the ad, saying it could make a kid question his sexuality. Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist and Fox News contributor, bellowed that that J. Crew
president and creative director Jenna Lyons, the mom painting her son's toenails pink in the ad, had better put money aside for therapy. Media Research Center said the ad celebrates "transgendered
children."

elephants when he wasn't working as a chorus girl.
