Bollywhat?
On America's Next Top Model the girls hadn't heard of Bollywood before. I wasn't sure what to make of the ignorance so I ignored it and continued watching. Bollywood ended up being the theme of the show but I don't think they really got an understanding of what it really is. It reminded me of last season when one of the models hadn't heard of Nelson Mandela.. and that model wasn't sure if he was still alive or not. Sure we can jump up and say it's because they're Americans, that they don't have an interest in anything except their own "American culture".... or because they're "models" and don't care about anything except their looks. But last year at the Catholic school many of the grade nines in the Enhanced English class hadn't heard of Nelson Mandela either. And fashion models can be very smart. That's why the good ones make a lot of money.
Kinda makes you wonder..
In class there was a discussion about religious schooling. The good points and the bad. But that doesn't really have to do with this anyway.

as a matter of fact, those models don't know much about America either, let alone the world.

Haha, that last post by "ahy" is hilarious. It's sad how some people actually believe these stereotypes and fairy tales to be true.
