The Great Bikini Debate Rages: Stripes, or Polka Dots?

Few things divide this nation more than the vexing swimwear question: stripes or polka dots?

Purveyors of polka-dots invariably point to the fact that an entire song was written about their spotted pattern, and often proceed to sing the 1960 novelty hit's signature verse:

It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini that she wore for the first time today...

Friends, patriots, countrymen... can't we all just get along?

Polka dots~! But didn’t the original bikinis, the ones worn by the natives in the Bikini Atoll have only one piece>

So difficult to decide — any more exemplars?

Sheer bikinis ftw.

Thanks for killing a perfectly good thread!

Fox News is so stupid.

Can we have a look at plaid?

Don’t care. Ploka-dots, I guess.

Isn't that a sweet smile?

I gotta be honest, even though foxnews.com is considered a right slanted news site, I never go there for actual news. 80% of the site is nothing but this type of smut. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind but not for a site that is to be taken seriously as a legitimate news source. The funny thing is that the website is not really reflective of the television channel. I consider that a viable news outlet.

How about stars and stripes?

That’s MY idea of an “itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny,...” no polka-dots required, bikini!

[max americana]

That made my day.

[Erik Latranyi]

For our southern aficianados....

[Niuhuru]

Now now, we all need our fun.

I predict a hung jury.
