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

[@Raphael-2]

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 stopped watching in cycle 17. I got tired of the gimmicks, the less creative photo shoots, and the immature drama brought on by these supposed adults. 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? Every now and then in each cycle, there has been a photo shoot concept that is so silly or does not seem high fashion, but the frequency of lame photo shoots has increased with each succeeding cycle.
