NOW Deems Top Model Stunt Pretty Ugly

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.
