over at Street Carnage has stumbled upon a whole new way for us to laugh at the misplaced ambition of confused souls in his series called Model Mayhem and the Parade of Delusion. A second installment went up yesterday, in which he searched the lulzy amateur modeling site for aspiring talent from his hometown of Roanoke, VA. (Nice home town, dick). You can search for dupes in your own backyard too! You won't feel clean afterward, but you're probably already an asshole anyway so what's just this one more shameful thing gonna do?
A commenter on the site, marko galbreath's subway rotary phone, which is a joke you'll soon appreciate, summed up the appeal succinctly:

total mindfuck. sure, you can read someone’s shitty poetry or listen to their music, but that can take up to 10 to 15 seconds for your brain to adequately process and dismiss the shit whole before you. Yet, your brain can process each of these in less than a second, making them easily the most immediate portal into the delusions of rubes everywhere. This is some next level shit.
Here's how Swift explains the premise:
I love the audition episodes of American Idol. I’ve watched those with my friends, stoned, laughing, saying over and over, “HOW could that guy seriously think he’s a gonna be a famous pop star? Can he not hear himself? Can he not see people’s reactions? WHAT is he thinking?”
When I laugh, though, I’m not laughing at the auditioner’s lack of vocal talent and apparent brain injury. I’m not.
What I AM laughing at is their lack of insight into the industry they’ve chosen to try and compete in — their lack of self-awareness. If you don’t have the voice, don’t have the moves, don’t have “the look,” then don’t expect to win a pop-music performance competition. If you want to play the game, it helps to know the rules.
Here are a few of my favorites. It's probably worth pointing out that most of us wouldn't look so great on a modeling site either, (well, most of you I should say), but that's why we're not aspiring models now isn't it?
Just curious, where's the site that rounds up aspiring internet humorists' worst work, because I've got a few things I could probably send them.

We all have dreams. Most of them are dumb.
In what universe is that high-waisted underwear shot anyone's idea of attractive?
I agree that there are some delusional folks on MM, however I know people who are actually signed with agencies who are on there...look up Sarah Blessing (she's with Ford) and a couple other chicks, I think those two models Ronnie from Jersey Shore went home with are on there...also Melanie Howe is a working model, though not in NY or LA so it's harder to get work in smaller towns.
Oh and if you look at a lot of fashion models they aren't traditional looking, they are quite weird looking...it depends on the type of modeling...there's commercial, print, catalog, fashion, high fashion, glamour, lingerie/swimwear, etc
Thanks for the comments. I'm too drunk to respond adequately.
