America S Next Top Model Comes Under Fire For Racy Photo Shoot
As a modeling competition CWs Americas Next Top Model naturally pays close attention to bodies of women in various setups. Now on its tenth cycle the shows challenges have ranged from conservative to raunchy in almost every theme and condition you can think of from the seven deadly sins to music genres from animalinspired photo shoots to skimpy pillow fights.
Its March 26 episode however apparently went too far as far as the Parents Television Council is concerned. The PTC is a nonprofit organization that monitors and promotes familyoriented television programming especially during prime time. It lodged indecency complaints against Americas Next Top Model for showing a nude model posing for photographs with only a minor pixilation covering her privates.
According to the PTC Americas Next Top Model had crossed the legal threshold for broadcast decency for airing the controversial scene during the socalled family hour of 8 p.m. They attacked CW for pushing the envelope to establish a new nudity standard for television. In connection the television watchdog is encouraging its members to file a formal complaint against the show with the Federal Communications Commission.
The scene which lasted for more than one minute featured Anya on a oneonone photo shoot with judge Nigel Barker. It was her prize for winning a posing contest judged by Americas Next Top Model creator and host Tyra Banks herself.
Some viewers however argue that the whole thing was done artistically and in good taste. Moreover they cite that the show does say TV14 hence not intended to be shown to kids below 14 in the first place. On the other hand there are also viewers who concede that the particular shoot is slightly different from previous nude photo shoots since it was done oneonone and the model was on a bed making it quite suggestive and as the PTC said undoubtedly intended to titillate.
