CONTROVERSY ON THE SET OF 'ANTM'

9 votes

This week's episode of 'America's Next Top Model', in which the photo-shoot challenge found the myriad mannequins making like crime-scene corpses, has come under fire from women's-rights groups, with the president of the New York City chapter of the National Organization for Women calling the stunt "supremely ironic" for a show "geared toward women and about women, and about glamour."

As the NOW prez tells the New York Daily News, "Violence against women is such a reality in our society that I certainly don't need the entertainment industry making entertainment out of it."

The CW declined comment on the scrape, while a rep for Top Model tyrant Tyra Banks didn't return the News' calls.

Ignorance of women perpetuated by other women is far more dangerous to our society this this crap with ANTM. Thank you Now, for being out of touch with the rest of society. I'm sure your out-of- touchness allows you to help so many women. *sarcasm*

Wow! So much controversy over ART?? As the female owners of www.CadaverGirls.com – we freely promote all forms of media and art in the horror genre. Most of our models focus on murder scenes – and this is of their OWN CHOICE. So, to say that women object to this – is simply untrue. We do not allow pornography or nudity – but allow the models to submit the work they have formulated, designed and orchestrated on their own. This IS art – it’s just not YOUR art.

I don't know if I agree, ANTM is not trying to mock murdered women. It's just a photo shoot. Why didn't religious instutions boycott the season 4 Seven Deadly Sins Shoot?? Or why didn't Celebrity agenets go after ANTM after the Celebrity Couples Shoot. It's just ART, no one is promoting or making fun of murders. And really, how many people have protested against paintings of death and gore?? No one seems to think those are "controversial". No, I think this is just another way for lame idiots to get off their asses and get some action once in a while.
