The Absurdity of the Fashion Industry highlighted through Top Model

Early 00's reality TV shone a light on the ridiculousness of the fashion industry. Young women who were desperate to become models would compete in outrageous tasks and be judged on their looks, weight, behavior, even their ability to read. Here I've taken many of these outrageous moments to shine a light on how exploitative this industry is to young women.
This video takes extradentary scenes of silliness from a decade long program. Highlighting how desperate these girls are to strike it big in the fashion industry.
This video was created by extracting the most outrageous scenes and editing them together to create a time capsule of early 00's tv.

[@merden_star]

It's not funny... it's a highlight though. Not everything in this video is funny, sometimes it's just memorable moments, like Sheena's boobs or Brittany's meltdown.

[@limmiedee7405]

then don't call the video "funniest moments"

[@BlueIvysAssistant]

Proceeds to title the video funniest moments.

[@merden_star]

@@limmiedee7405 You didn't find this video funny? I mean, 99.9% of it IS absurd. Or should I have titled it "ANTM Highlights that are 99% funny and 1% memorable". Lemme know if I need to update it please.

[@MultiChantal22]

Lmao I just realized the title has changed ... I used to watch this video when I was in primary school ... Now I'm in college

I'm not sure but I think you can cut the very unfunny moments (mentioned by people) in KZbin Studio Editor, then you can call it "Funny and absurd"

I think if Tyra changed some things, the show could relive its glory days. How about providing instruction and guidance again? Where did the creativity in the photo shoots go?

Antm should stop doing so offensive stuff. They try to make photoshoots "inspired"by poor chemotherypy patients or change race for a shoot... just stop.

[@axisboise]

You obviously did not know what the photoshoot is about because of you know you'd understand it's not to offend people undergoing chemotherapy. That photoshoot is done to support a cause for educating people of the ugly side effects of smoking. It's not about chemotherapy or cancer alone. They took two pictures, one all glamorous and the other it's side effects: different types of cancer, burn accidents, still born babies , second hand smoking, etc. It's not a photoshoot that was "inspired" by chemotherapy. It's much the same how some other countries added gruesome photos of the effects of smoking on their cigarette cases to encourage its citizens to stop smoking. This cycle they also banned the models from smoking while they are in the competetion. It was the model's fault for laughing at her look than the team who created the look and the photoshoot.
