Ah yes Tyra I see. Despite your campaigning that we are all beautiful, no matter what size, height or colour we are, the comedy here comes from the fact that you are wearing glasses and are therefore ugly. Then you take your glasses and coat off and are of course beautiful. I'm talking about this clip of America's Next Top Model:

It's not the only time in this series. Later on a girl wears glasses to judging and is questioned on why she has them on. Newsflash! It's because she's short sighted! It's really not that unusual. I could accept this sort of thing in the 90's, but I am now officially fed up of tv still doing what 90's teen movies were doing those may years ago: Nerds wearing glasses. It's 2011 and a ton of people wear glasses. I don't even notice whether someone has glasses on anymore. In the real world, no one cares, so it's time for tv to stop prescribing to a tired old stereotype and be a bit more creative.
