Ok, WTF? Do kids really pay attention to things like this? I'm not a parent, but are kids asking about these sorts of things these days? And why all of a sudden is there a big media flurry of talking to your kids about mainstream things like these? I can see this whole thing being an Internet meme very soon due to the ridiculousness of having to explain everything to your kids.

This is the same thing that has been with conservative society for hundreds of years. It's the same as talking to your kids about Rock & Roll in the 50s, about sex and aids in the 80s, about drugs in the 90s, etc. Now we have explaining controversial memes to your kids? It's just dumb. They will find it all on their own.
Maybe just send your kids to the school of encyclopaedia dramatica and let them have at it to open their minds.
