Why not respond with something polite, businesslike and less shameful, such as:
Thank you for your interest in modeling for me but I am not advertising for paid models at this time. Pissing off, insulting, even being rude to models at a shoot is just bad form, they're working jsut the same as us.
Personally I don't care if you, as a photographer wants a rep as an ass hole or other bodily part, except for the part where people start to class us all under the same umbrella as after all we are all in the same business.
As a lifestyle photographer I can not survive without models, wardrobe artists, MUA's etc. If I work with one that's a pain in the ass at the end of the day I simply say 'Thanks for coming' and that's possibly the last thing i'm ever going to say to them.
Regardless of how dumb some models, and even some photographers can be can we not all strive a little harder to raise the proffessionalism of the business?
In short all i'm saying is play nice as one persones behaviour reflects on the whole industry.
Best wishes all. Darren.

I still havent grasped how you can call yourself a Model or a photographer
Unless that is your sole source of Income.. A photographer is a person who photographs stuff.

I believe in acting professionial at all times.... to a degree... Then again THIS site isnt only for professionials, so for those that aren't why must the pros assume that they should act like it? To lead by example.

i happened to catch that episode after months of not watching, and it was hilarious how bad that actress treated them... although i have done that a couple times when thinking out loud... Michael... even funnier is the fact that THAT model / actress (Deprise) I shot when she was 15... and again when she was 19... her greatest claim to fame as a model was being the "L.A.GEAR" shoe girl... and alot of random fake boob lingerie crap.
So once again... that show has similar "EXPERTS" telling the newbies... well crap to be frank... they are just telling them crap!
"You must not blink when hanging upside down in a water tank... how do you ever expect to make it?" I just gasp at the crap they spew as "the norm"!!

The Bridges I burn will light my way. LOL, I am definitely going to remember that quote!!!!! Stockstill, I don't know if you made it up, but it's hilarious!
I feel for you steve... the "correct" answer which I would have used, would have been
.... "Please reread the post/ad. There are more details there that you missed"
(Much Love),
Steven
LOL.... But your responses, have been much craftier, and I'll live vicariously through you. I wish we could send frying pans to the head through emails!!  .... (and for you people who are sooo over sensitive, who take that as violence, it's solely a cliche and meant as nothing more)

who cares
far too many very ordinary photographers are way too jumped up on here
Not true of you Bigler...by the way..:-)
This also goes for Models...

Anyway... who cares ...how you pay your bills?
I work in a salon, I'm a full-time nail technician. Part-time, as a secondary income, I do massage. I'm certified, I do get paid an hourly rate. It's not my SOLE source of income though... does that mean I'm not really a massage therapist? So what does that make me? a "GWH" girl with hands...?
seriously, I can't believe how pretentious some people in this business are....
N E WAYZ....
i do agree... too many jumped up people on here... can't we all just get along?
