Would You Rather Win the Nobel Peace Prize or ANTM?

March 26, 2009

Have you ever gotten into a this-or-that style debate with your friends? You know the ones. They're the questions you ask about whether you'd marry for looks or for money, or would you have your head shaved to save a stranger. These are just among some of the philosophical inquiries that were asked of 18 to 34 year olds in a recent poll put together by the Oxygen network.

My personal favorite was the following: would you rather win the Nobel Peace Prize or America's Next Top Model? Are you surprised that 25 percent of the 2,000 women surveyed said ANTM? I'm all for looking and feeling good, but let's put it in perspective, 25 percenters. What would you choose — world peace or the runway?

I really hope 58 (as of this moment) were kidding when they voted.

Definitely Nobel then ANTM. Besides the money. It is more likely to be a jeopardy answer if you are awarded a noble peace prize.

You get a million dollars for the Nobel, don't you? I doubt you get that kind of prize for ANTM, and they all disappear after anyways. I'd rather be rich, than famous! ;)

Is this even a question? I love ANTM, but on one hand we have maybe 5 minutes of fame and a CoverGirl campaign and on the other we have an award for actually DOING something worth recognizing and showing that we have intelligence. Oh gee, such a hard decision *eyeroll*

NPP, why... because you can still be hot and promote world peace! Plus it comes with a million dollars.

Nobel Peace Prize. Because if I win ANTM I will never make it to a real fashion magazine and end up doing mall fashion shows.

I'm glad to see the majority said NPP. If ANTM had an advantage, I would be scared for my future.

all of the "americans next top models" never ever are americas next top models in reality i mean you NEVER see them anywhere except the occasional benefit or so on but i would definately win the nobel peace prize, just cause your smart doesnt mean you cant be pretty too, its just a far greater honor, and its nice to see that most people agree.

Ummmm: This should never be a question - NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. I mean really - what is thr world coming to?* The models that do win ANTM don't do anything anyways besides the occassional fashion/tv hosting gig - no difference than making it on your own. - That show shouldn't even be on anymore if u ask me. Haven't watched in years.

WTF? Essentially this question is asking what type of person you'd like to be - someone who works to make the world a better place, or someone who gets a handful of modelling jobs?I don't know why anyone would pick ANTM. I don't know about the American show but on the Australian one they pick the contestants apart for the 'entertainment' of others.

Nobel peace prize! Wow can't believe some people are so shallow to want 15 minutes (and not even that!) of fame rather than helping to make the world a better place. Who even cares about the winners of ANTM? Their careers never take off anyways.

Wow, really? This is obvious, the Nobel Peace Prize! Not only because you because you get more money and are more famous, but because you have worked hard to accomplish something that will be remembered even after you're gone.
