Shanghai Auto Show Models Dress as Beggars as Part of Protest
Apr 28, 2015 By eChinacities.com

On April 26, a group of models dressed up as beggars and begged on the streets of Shanghai as a protest against new rules banning the use of models in the city's auto shows. Shanghai has recently banned the use of car show models. CCTV posted the photos of the models dressed as beggars on the streets of Shanghai on its Weibo page. The models, in not very good taste, dressed as beggars to protest their new found unemployment.

Women hating losers. Just because you you are a pathetic loser that couldn't get a model to show you any attention doesn't mean modelling isn't a legitimate job. When a woman can work and earn her own money that makes small men jealous. Losers are right at home in China. This country is full of small women hating weasels. This is law was made because some rich corrupt official couldn't buy the affection of a model.

Oh c'mon! Really? Every foreign (white) males in China can get model-like women whenever they want to here, without paying for it. Yes, even that obese and balding guy in his 50s. If there are women haters they are not among us.

Can you believe these models and their agencies didn't know about fashion shows or couldn't get a job with other shows? I can't. They were probably hired by car shows organizers to protest against the ban.

Well done Chinese education system. You have produced citizens who think 'looking beautiful' is a career option.

You know what's sad? Jealous western women who yell and proclaim womens rights and equality but then they attack models because they are making a choice to make money off their beauty. No one ever attacks male models. And yes looking beautiful is a career option, models actors, TV hosts etc.
