This is just so wrong.

It's not nice to pick on the physical appearance of a cancer survivor, but come on!

ABC just released a new promo still of Katherine Heigl's Izzie Stevens from the Oct. 1 episode of Grey's Anatomy. The ep, which is titled "I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watchin' Me," focuses on Izzie's recovery and apparently on a fishy wig...

We object.

Izzie Stevens is a blonde. That's just a fixed, immutable fact of the universe, like that iron's atomic number is 26.

As we learned in season one, Izzie Stevens used to be a model, and for that matter, Izzie Stevens is Izzie Stevens, and you can't tell us that Izzie Stevens didn't see this wig for what it is: a misbegotten orange mess.

Hate the color, hate the style, would rather have her completely bald or with a nice edgy buzz cut.

But that's our totally shallow opinion about the hairpiece on this character who lives in an imaginary world. We think all cancer survivors are beautiful IRL. What do you think? Tell us in the poll below...

FYI, here's the official description of the ep where Izzie premieres her new hair: "Several weeks after her near-death experience, a recovering Izzie returns to work. Meanwhile, nervous that there will be layoffs in the hospital in the wake of an announcement from the Chief, the Seattle Grace residents compete to survive the cuts, including Cristina (Sandra Oh), who attempts to work alongside Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) in pediatrics. And Bailey (Chandra Wilson) and Alex's (Justin Chambers) patient's already complex case is further complicated by her schizophrenic son."
