Tyra Banks Is Disrespectful To Women?

Ads for The CW’s Top Model 8, which debuts tomorrow night, have been removed from buses in Santa Monica.

“It’s a matter of public taste. We try to be sensitive to the community,” the city’s director of transit services, Stephanie Negriff, told Variety.

The city received complaints not necessarily because of the photograph itself, but because, as Variety explains, “protests came from people concerned that the city was somehow endorsing a show that may objectify women.”


Negriff said the city took down the ads and refunded The CW’s money because “We wouldn’t want to do anything that would disrespect women.”
Of all the things to complain about?! I'm guessing some big girls were behind most of these complaints.

The Delta Zeta sorority used "fatism." This is some straight up "skinnyism." And I don't support either cause. I support "acceptism" aka acceptance, or just not talking shit to peoples' faces and, er, don't exclude big girls cuz, um... huh?

The Top Model ads are fine.
