America's Most Smartest Model

Ok, I have to know. Is the title of this show a joke??
Is the show really about showing how stupid models are, or is the bad English an actual mistake?

Thread Title of the Week 

I've watched this show a couple times. The contestants are about the mental equivalent of Kelly Pickler.

I think I will stick with America's Top Model. The models are smarter.

Ya know, for a long time people worried about girls' self-esteem issues. So we have a large proportion of a whole generation of women who know almost nothing but feel reallllly good about themselves...

It's supposed to be a snarky joke. . .

I think the *whole show* is supposed to be a snarky joke. But OMG, "reality" tv doesn't get much funnier than watching one model guy's agonized expression as he tried to figure out the combination lock to the bathroom-- they told them what the numbers were, but they had to convert from Roman numerals.

Yes, I am a bad person enjoying televised schadenfreude.

It's weird, I can see videos of post motorcycle accidents, people cutting off their balls, etc...And it doesn't bug me.

I feel MOST uncomfortable while I watch these videos.

I cringe it's so bad. Weird huh?

I got this question right and I've never used yards before (I wasn't 100% sure I was right until the answer appeared, but I was sure the contestant was wrong simply because her answer made no sense)- been metric since way before I was born, here, so how can someone who comes from a country that does use feet and yards get this question wrong???

Because people really aren't smarter then a 5th grader.

3 feet to a yard, 5,280 feet to the mile, 16.5 feet to the rod, 12 inches to the foot, 2.54 cm to the inch.

Why is it when I drink I feel like doing math?
