Original artwork, not a still
Modelizers are obsessed not with women but with models, who in most cities are safely confined to billboards and magazines, but in Manhattan actually run wild on the streets, turning the city into a virtual model country safari where men can pet the creatures in their natural habitat.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker mocks men who chase models rather than women. In this satirical view, models are normally kept safely in ads, but Manhattan lets them roam free, so men treat the city like a safari and the women like wildlife to be stroked.
