loaded question

A question that is asked not to find information but with the intent to cause an emotional reaction from the person being asked.

The questioner asks usually in an emotional state provoking an emotional response. The questioner loads the question the way a soldier would load ammunition into a rifle; hence the question is loaded
But Rev. Al Sharpton, what about the Tawana Brawley case?

Knowing how Rev. Sharpton responds to any mention of that name, any question asking him about her would be a loaded question posed to cause him embarassment.

The Question

A legend passed down from generation to generation... some say it's a myth, others cannot phathom the possibility of it's existance, nonetheless in any situation, drunk or sober, when a male approaches an intellectual convo and just happens to pop in, oh so nonchalant... "do you shave?," and then proceeds to resume conversation as if the question was never uttered.
"How about the Bears game... I think they have a chance at winning the Super Bowl, by the way, do you shave?" (Pause for comprehension)"...so you think they have a chance?"
