Ellen DeGeneres and Michelle Obama both made us laugh on Monday, when Ellen revealed the first lady's golden prom dress. "That split was a little high. I don't know if I'd let my kids go out with a split that high," Mrs. O said. "So let's not show this to Sasha and Malia."

We'd have to agree -- that dress was a little racy for prom, especially back in 1982! But Ellen also made us giggle when she pointed out the first lady's choice of chair. "Were you shopping at Pier 1 or something?" Ellen joked. The first lady, who was visiting military families in Jacksonville, Fla., gamely responded: "You've never done the wicker chair shot? It's standard." So ... do you think Michelle's "split" (slit?) was too high for prom? Or totally appropriate? PS: Ellen's "tablecloth" dress was pretty ridiculous, too!

Dear Soda Head,

No one cares about the gossipy questions on here, so I ask you; why do you continue to post them? It has been said plenty of times by plenty of members. Could you please stop?

Sincerely,

It won't- because Sodahead profits off of these type of questions. Obama haters will flock to this question.

You idiot. She wore the dress as a teenager. She commented on the dress as a mom. How many moms who have made mistakes want their daughters to repeat their mistakes? By the way, are you a mother? Haven't you ever done anything in your life time that you have regretted doing? I guess not. Well good for you.You must be God then. Oh no wait, he regretted making humans.

Another poll about what Michelle wore/is wearing that is going to turn into another hate fest. It's like the Sodahead staff enjoy watching the nasty behavior of those who obviously have hatred towards her and her family.

Yep that's what it turns into every singe time. Some of the typical childish remarks:

"HER ASS IS HUGE!!!!!"
"HOW DARE SHE SPEND THAT MONEY ON A DRESS WHEN AMERICANS ARE STARVING!"
"LOOK HOW GHETTO THAT GORILLA IS!! (BUT I'M NOT A RACIST)."
-Insert crappily photoshopped pictures in addition to the aforementioned attacks.

It's the same crap every time and I don't understand how the staff here aren't tired of of reading it.

Actually, a lot of news services look at the SH poll numbers, and use that to help determine hot news/not hot news. Also, the WH looks at polls to help determine what the FL will wear.

So, too high of a slit? Too low of a slit? Too high of a hemline? Too low? too formal? Too country? ALL of those get addressed and appropriate attire gets selected based on answers on social media sites like this one.

They are selective with which type of polls they look at. The problem with online polls is that it doesn't get a wide enough variety of respondents since it only gets the numbers of those who have access to a computer. Not to mention, the WH is most likely going to look at polls conducted over the general public. On a site like this, there are a good number of partisan fanatics who can't seperate unbiasely judging a dress from the politics of Michelle's husband.
