16. Typical American humor I guess. TMZ and AOL should be ashamed of themselves for alienating an entire nation of scots not to mention the thousands of other scots around the world, by making such derogetory comments on every single picture of a celeb wearing a kilt! American media continues to discredit anything and anybody outside its american borders by failing to recognize the pride other nations take in their own identity. TMZ has displayed both its ignorance and arrogance by thinking that even a fraction of its online readers would find their humor actually humorous. You remind me of that troublesome student who shouts out hoping to get the class laughing, but just embarrasses himself in the process! Way to go TMZ! You're a credit to american media!
20. Being Scot is a sense of pride and love for me and my acient culture. I don't get the ignorant comments being smart and civilised but I understand the source.

21. the only thing offensive is kattan's footwear.
love me some kilts!!! must be those welsh ancestors!
22. This is, perhaps, a most terrible low that TMZ has reached.
No wonder why the rest of the world looks down on American media, and perhaps even American people, with such disdain.
As been said before, kilts are not dresses and they are not normally worn by women.
It is ignorant, despicable and insulting to directly suggest that men who wear kilts are cross-dressing.
TMZ, for disrespecting another culture with your shameful commentary, you guys need to get your @$$es kicked!
To the Scots and Celts, as an American I offer my apology for this outrage. Please understand that this ignorance is not typical with all Americans.
27. For The Last Time TMZ : Kilts ARE NOT SKIRTS!! I find them EXTREMELY appealing! Especially on Sting and Ewan Mcgregor two of THE SEXIEST MEN ALIVE, WHO JUST HAPPEN TO BE CELTIC!! I'd kill to see just what's going on UNDER there anyday!!
28. This is obnoxious, distasteful, and highly offensive...I being of Scots-Irish decent.
Our community, rest assured, is appalled and find it laughable that it's acceptable for media outlets to bash our heritage, but it's completely unacceptable to bash any others.
Disgusting TMZ. Truly DISGUSTING.
29. On a serious note, this IS insulting and pathetic of TMZ.
You sure wouldn't see them ragging on women in their Burkas now, would you? How about some of the Jewish stars that wear their Yamulka's?
Really, TMZ, were you all so bored and stoned off yer a$$es that you all decided to pick on the Scots?
You know what happened to the last group of gay yodelers that did that, don't ya?
Obviously not!
Bring on the Peabroc and the Drambouie, I hear the Battle Pipes already!!!
Dumbasses!

30. Wow, this is one of the dumbest things I have seen on TMZ yet (and THAT is saying something)!
Real women dig men in kilts; and only REAL men wear them!
Give me a Scotsman ANY day of the week and twice on Sundays, please!
:-P

17. Kilts are definately NOT DRESSES!! and to insinuate that they are is extremely insulting to anybody who is proud of their Scottish background.

23. Really, let's be fair. Do they have to be sensitive if they can't locate Scotland on a map?

24. The caption under the Mary J. Blige/Sting picture was f'ed up, TMZ.
