It would seem that some found the photos disturbing and too graphic. More so than past photos that have drummed up hullabaloo (model stereotypes/eating disorders/plastic surgery). Perhaps having watched the show and looking at the photos through a more "high fashion"/artistic frame of reference the blood and “gore” didn’t really phase me. I saw the girls all made-up walking around, laughing, talking, and then posing in the context of the episode. I suppose I can see how someone, who having not watched the show, could look at these photos for the first time and find them alarming. But I did locate the photos on-line and I am posting them here.
Personally, I have seen more distrubing images on CSI. And I found it to be in bad taste to do this particular photo shoot so soon after the death of Jael's friend. However, I know the concept was probably planned and scheduled well before the cycle began.
I am not the biggest fan of Ariana Huffington. Okay, I’m not a fan at all. But in the interests of offering both sides of the story here is a link to her website and an article written by Melissa Lafsky. America's Next Top Controversy: ANTM Features "Murdered" Models

I so wish I could send in a response to that article about how "terrible" this episode was. PUH LEASE!!! If the feminists are going to get angry over something go after the porn industry and how degrading that is to women.
Omg! feminists will find anything to injustice, give me a break! Next thing you know they will try to get universal studios to using women actors for such event like horror nights. Being a Female myself there are things you fight for and there are things you laugh off this is one of the cases! Get a life feminists, or better yet point your attention to more serious topics just like christy said the porn industry !!
