Skinny models

I'm confused about the uproar over too-skinny models.

Okay, so they give a warped message over body image and such, right?

But ignore that... what's the purpose of a model?

To show off clothes, of course.

So, if clothes designers are designing clothes for these too-skinny models to display that nobody can wear, then nobody's going to end up buying their high-dollar clothes, right?

That means ultimately the market's going to take care of these fashion designers, producing products that there's very little or no demand for.

The clothes designers either start designing for the real market, or they go out of business.

Or am I not seeing something?

'Cmon man, let the consumer decide how the market should run? That is sooooooooo capitalistic of you.

We need to form a government comittee to evaluate the impact of skinny models on society and then let Al Gore tie it in to global warming.
