Fashion saves a lot more lives than doctors

I've seen the third clip, with Bruno at the fashion show interviewing designers, several times and I am always impressed by the fierce stupidity that abounds. It's truly astonishing to know that someone can be so unintelligent about one's own profession and livelihood. The designers were so obtuse and banal that they were as much a caricature of the fashion industry as Bruno. This was particularly true of the last guy that continually contradicted himself. He apparently had a cardboard theme that ran through his designs that was both humorous and humorless, light and heavy, individualized yet 'about others.' Bruno catches this bullshitter who had no vision and no meaning behind his supposedly meaningful art.

All of the people interviewed attempted to give off a sense of unattainable attractiveness. It was like they had each drank from the holy grail of fashion and were on a level above everyone else. When I actually took a moment to look at them, though, none of them struck me as more than regular (at best) looking people wearing silly, elaborate designs. Who the hell was that guy with the Burger King crown on?!

Some people are apparently so desperate for attention that they will say anything on camera. It makes them feel important, like they are an authority on a subject. What 'Bruno' does so masterfully is let these self-righteous people feel comfortable and important while asking questions that expose their mental, moral, and professional limitations.
