I'm game.

Post by Gob »

A Danish chat show where women silently undress as the male host and a guest critique their bodies has been branded humiliating and sexist by viewers.



The women walk on in a bath robe and then stand in front of the two men who are seated on an empty set with one harsh light.

Each model then removes her robe as host Thomas Blachman, who also created the concept, and his guest appraise their figures.

Some of the most puerile moments have included comments such as 'How's that p****' working out for you?' and 'Very animated nipples.'

Blachman, who is a Danish X-Factor judge, today defended his idea insisting he was actually doing women a favour as the 'female body thirsts for the words of a man'.

He also said his show - which has the eponymous title Blachman - was the work of a genius and had a higher objective of 'discussing the aesthetics of a female body without allowing the conversation to become pornographic or politically correct'.

He said: 'I told them the entire idea of the show is to let men talk about the bodies of naked women while the woman is standing right in front of them.

'The female body thirsts for words. The words of a man. And they went for it.'

He added that he wanted to 'revise women's views of men's views of women.'


“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Let me be the judge of that!

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Does the television audience get full view and get to vote on the women?

I guess if they don't like them they get the "bums" rush...
Sometimes it seems as though one has to cross the line just to figger out where it is
