America's next model w/Tyra Banks

[Deja Q]

Saw this show on cable and Tyra was telling the girls they were now commodities and were to seek out a good manager.

Okay, so "commodity" is the new "slave".

1. I was thinking more like grain and hog bellies

Won't be long before they end up on the Chicago Commodities Exchange

2. "April Miss Americas are down 6, but the June Miss Worlds are up 2 1/2."

4. So if Tyra is right, they won't need a manager

They'll need a broker instead

3. I'm not sure how on Earth you're comparing a model to a "slave".

:shrug:

5. I wasn't. Tyra was.

I found it interesting that anyone would refer to a group of other people as being "commodities".

Commodities are bought and sold.

If somebody called you a commodity and told you to find a manager, how would you feel?
