What the heck happened in Manhattan on Saturday? Tyra Bank's show called " >America's Next Top Model" had an open cattle call and thousands and thousands of model wannabes showed up in downtown Manhattan hoping to become the Next Big Thing. The premise was that the applicants had to be "under 5 foot seven" as Tyra wants to "re-define" what is considered beautiful.
Take a look at the Youtube video of America's Next Top Model Riot. A car parked across the street starts billowing smoke and the crowd begins to move and some think it's a bomb scare. The police presence is woefully ill-prepared for the swarms of models and hangers-on and one guy decides it's the perfect time to start swinging at the cops. Stupid. Six people are injured and three more are arrested.
Maybe the show should try having the girls submit video tapes rather than showing up and waiting (some slept in sleeping bags overnight to keep their places in line). After a melee like this, Tyra might want to reconsider how they cast for the show. Luckily the police were quick thinking and took down the troublemakers before it became even more serious.
