I don't have an idea if it's a boy or a girl so can't really say.
If it is indeed a boy then that picture is just wrong at first glance,even though kids at that age have no idea about their sexuality.

I think most little kids, male or female, at some point step into their mom's high heels and go "I'm a giant!" and not "I'm so confused!" Children that young partaking in and activity that is considered the norm for the opposite gender means only so much. I mean, little kids eat dirt...
oh please, my sisters made me put on dresses and makup when I was five and I didn't turn out wierd or anything like that.
It got people talking about them so it worked, it's still gonna be removed by them I think. it's still an interesting choice tho, I would have thought they would have show off how good the shirt is or something, not how free and liberal the parent is.
Im not gonna lie, I got my nails painted when I was 5 too, now I have a girlfriend, so I like to think I'm not gay.
In an age where grown men can enjoy My Little Pony, I see no problem with this. Hell, I've bought a few womens shirts just because they fit me and they were the only ones in the store with designs I liked, the fact that they were made for women means nothing, it's just a shirt.
Anyone who gets offended by this needs to quickly catch up with the rest of us, gender and race are a thing of the past now (well, to me and most of the people I know, at least, I can't speak for the entire world for obvious reasons) it's about time people just got over it.

I don't think "gender confusion" is an issue since the kid is pre-sexual. That said I don't think the mother should be painting a boy's toe nails pink. I think that says some things about her that are rather odd, and as the kid develops there might be problems, "gender confusion" being only one of them, since she's apparently a REALLY strange bird.
Whether this is genuine advertising, or staged for the fake contreversy, the bottom line is that the picture *IS* messed up, and the kids is being exploited by being shown in such a situation, having fun or not. I won't go so far as to say they should take the kid away from the parents who would do/allow this, but I definatly think there is enough here where child services should look into it, and keep this in mind if there are other incidents.
What this most makes me think of is how some women see their kids almost as living fashion accessories and dolls. Companies make a fortune over women who get off on dressing their kids up in wierd outfits, or having them do odd things to show off. It occurs to me that this is probably the kind of lady this whole business is aimed at. That said, such attitudes wind up being really unhealthy, especially if the mother doesn't want to let go when the kid starts to grow up. As I said, it's something that should be looked into by the authorities, but there is no way to say how much action (if any) should actually be taken going by the picture.

The kid's about to fall of the chair! She'll be holding his feet and his head will crack into the ground! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Oh, it's because she's painting his toes... I'm sure that the kid is associating "Whimsical colours" + "Toes" to equal "Hilarity in it's purest form!" and not "Girl things" + "Me" equals "Wtf am I? D:"
Anyway, Gender Disassociation is far preferable to having a stale relationship with a parent. Good to see a kid so happy with his mom.
