On Saturday, 10,000 aspiring models whose diminutive height will keep them from ever accomplishing anything in fashion lined the streets of New York to audition for “America’s Next Top Model,” which is looking for girls 5’7″ and under for its 13th season. Then chaos broke out, six people got injured, and three more got arrested before police shut down the audition. The details:
A clutch of the reality TV show’s hopefuls claim the crush… began after an overheated car drove past the queue of aspiring models. One contestant reportedly saw the vehicle and shouted, “there’s a bomb”, causing the thousands of applicants to panic and surge away from the car.
Other reports say the 10,000 women assembled outside a midtown Manhattan hotel trampled one another after someone yelled “fire”…
Model Tyra Banks, who hosts the show, was unable to throw any light on Saturday’s mayhem, which left shoes and clothes strewn across the pavement outside the Park Central New York hotel.
Check out the video above. It’s like an aerial view of the running of the bulls in Pamplona. Only, y’know, if the bulls were petite. And dumber.

OMGRUNAFATPERSON!!
I loved the video of all this craziness so much, I blogged about it too: http://squareeyes.blinkx.com/?p=445
I’m really into the fact that it was the 5’7″ crew as opposed to the usual amazons who went nuts. Those li’l ladies are scrappy!
Wait until the guys in post add the CGI monster to this footage.
Wow, my new axe bodyspray really DOES work like in the commercials!
Then Tyra wept, for there were no more models left to trample.
I haven’t seen a good midget fight since Bridget Powerz tried to dump her fat ass boyfriend.
So Pamplona has the running of the bulls, and now New York has the running of the skanks. Being gored with a stiletto heel is easier to survive but it usually costs extra. Trust me.
You would have thought these girls would have trouble stepping on anything larger than their daily breakfast tic tac.
Because they’re short, you see. And anorexic.
