Thank you. I was wondering what the fuck the big deal was. The top comment at this time is someone apparently replying to another comment (but didn't actually 'reply' to another comment- just wrote his/her own comment).

Apparently some people are taking offense or something? I'll just leave this here: for whatever reason, the Brits (and Richard Branson is one) think dressing up as a woman is funny (in a harmless way) in and of itself and they have thought that ever since I've watched Benny Hill and Monty Python TV shows (ie, since the 1970s anyway). No big deal here.

Honestly don't know what that guys deal is. It's political correctness gone mad to the point that people can't have a bit of harmless fun without offending someone or other. Sometimes there is no malice whatsoever intended, in this case I knew what the context was (I'm a huge Formula 1 fan) and so thought it was very funny. You see this kind of thing all the time in UK when people go on there bachelor parties and you'll see entire groups of drunk adult men dressed as women. Everyone laughs. Everyone has fun.

Like you say, no big deal here.
