Tyra Banks can’t front on buses anymore
Posted on February 28th, 2007 in Tyra Banks
Ouch! Ads for her show Americas Next Top Model were taken down due to complaints. I’ve never seen a single episode, so I don’t really know what there would be to complain about. But it seems to not have many fans…at least in Santa Monica.
Most of the complaints were from people concerned that the city might be endorsing a show they believed was disrespectful to women, said Stephanie Negriff, director of transit services in the beach city.
“It’s a matter of public taste,” she said. “We try to be sensitive to the community.”
“We wouldn’t want to do anything that would disrespect women,” Negriff said.
The ads were up for about two weeks. The bus line is refunding money the CW network paid for the promotion.

i heard that the picture of tyra wasnt even her it was her head superimposed onto a skinnier body. Is she worried she might look too fat on a picture big enough for a bus?
