The Dumbest Controversy: Planned Parenthood

This summer, videos were released proving once and for all that Planned Parenthood, a government funded organization sells baby parts. Well, kind of. Turns out the videos were too heavily doctored to prove anything. And Planned Parenthood isn't actually government funded, they just give Medicaid reimbursements like any other doctor's office. Oh and they aren't aren't selling or profiting off anything either...


Best Bitchface Award: Hillary Clinton at the Bazillionth Benghazi Hearing

3 years later and we're still arguing the Republicans are still desperate to find a way to pin it on Hillary Clinton.

And finally...

The Controversy Most Likely to Ruin Friendships Forever Award: The Dress

Within a week of its inception, this low quality, badly lit photo, quite literally destroyed the internet. 10 million tweeted, celebrities feuded, neuroscientists commented. For days you could walk into any crowded room and yell "What color is that dress?" and be guaranteed a chorus of responses, followed by arguing, and then screaming, and then everyone would just fall into a state of silent existential crisis.
