chinas next top model.

Chinese magazine, The New Travel Weekly caught the sharp end of the stick this week after posting pics of models poseing with debris and rubble after the devistating earthquake that killed over 40,000 people and climbing.

According to the press and publication department of the southwestern city of Chongqing (and they are?), the magazine "seriously violated propaganda discipline and went against social morals" and the report constituted an "extremely evil social influence."

People have already been fired, and they are debating shutting down the whole shabang. I guess the real zinger is that the editorial spread hit the stands on the the first of three days of national mourning.

Damn, over react much?

R.I.P To all of the people and families that are suffering right now. The world is a cruel place complicated by humanity and ignorance. I wish you the best.
