This is reminiscent of the controversy over anorexia and models. With anorexia and bulimia spreading, some people are pointing to supermodels and their unusual appearances as the cause.

Quite to the contrary, though, it seemed to become almost spiteful, displaying some of the most outrageous behavior I have ever witnessed by any school band.
