The Riot of the Female Id

Young women desperate for a glimmer of tinsel and fame on "America's Top Model" ran riot in NYC. The National Enquirer provides breathless coverage, including amazing video:TOP MODEL RIOT IN NY

The NY Times provides more sober-sided coverage, but still manages to capture the tragi-comic aftermath of a cute mob gone mad: 3 Arrests in Melee at ‘America’s Next Top Model’ Casting Call
By 6 p.m. Saturday, West 55th Street was littered with the wreckage of the day: torn sleeping bags where aspiring contestants had spent the night, police barricades, shoes and clothes in the gutter. More than a hundred women still waited on the sidewalk, hoping to get into the Park Central.
Never, ever get in the way of a young woman grasping for her brass ring. How long before we start asking, "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"
