A Danish chat show where women silently UnCloth 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.' Critics rubbished his claims highlighting an example on one show in which he said: 'I've always been an a** man.
Even before Blachman aired, it received massive media attention and has been widely criticised as being both
sexist and humiliating for women. Author Knud Romer said: 'The programs so-called intention of breaking down taboos or challenging stereotypes is rubbish.
'It's more like a claustrophobic strip club which only serves to cement classic concepts of male dominance. 'Basically, things like this should have been able consigned to the scrap heap of history years ago.' One of the country's top bloggers and opinion-makers, Lotte Hansen, was also scathing, describing the show as 'an unsuccessful attempt to intellectualize the Roskilde County Show – the only difference being that the young
fillies on view in Roskilde have been replaced by naked women.'

Hansen has started a campaign demanding DR cancel the show 'before this goes any further'. Martin Lyngbo of the Mungo Park Theater said Blachman’s show 'institutionalizes already run-of-the-mill male chauvinist thinking.' An unrepentant Blachman, who has since retreated to his home in New York in the face of all the controversy, said: 'Ungratefulness is the only thing that can really wear down the few geniuses who reside in our country. 'Remember, I am giving you something that you have never seen before. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.'
DR producer Sofia Fromberg, who defended the project, said the show must go on and does not think that the TV critics should have the final say about what is good for men and women. She added: 'We have a program that reveals what men think about the female body.

Quite honestly, what is
wrong with that?' The programme is aired on public service channel DR2.

baynix: Nna, I Go Like Be One Of The Judges oo!!

For those bony bodies ?

This is a harvest of the post-world war 11 erosion of family values,occassioned by the surge of women into the labour market and attendant neglect of the proverbial home front. Kids grew up on their own, in their own way and passed on same to their offsprings. Today, the society is the victim.

Those Scandinavian are so innovative and liberal that they are running towards 22nd century at a faster pace than the rest of the world.

The first explicit real-life sex mainstream movie was produced in Denmark. This new explicit graphic delight is nothing in comparison.

Expect more innovative big screen break-throughs from those delightful race in the very future.

And how is this decadence of showing female unclad body a breakthrough? You are such a pervert. How old are you?

If you are not such a close-minded, hypocritical individual, you might come to appreciate the boldness and originality the show brought to the screen.

While some percentage of Africans - including you, obviously - are stepping on their own feet due to their holier-than-thou approach to morality, the Scandinavians and the west are leaving you behind 'cos of their more evolved way of thinking.

It doesn't mean that you are better than them morally, rather it shows that unlike you they ain't hypocrites.

When you open up your mind and think like you are supposed to - without judgement, you will realised that there is nothing like right or wrong. The world is not that simple. Look for the grey areas.

Calling me a pervert just because I expressed my opinion on the subject tells me a lot about your personality indeed. You are both judgmental and hypocritical.

Judgmental because you think you are better than everyone else.

Hypocritical because you are secretly worse than the person you just called a pervert.

And what has my age got to do with anything? Stop fighting for relevance, okay?

Easy with the barking dude, its not called for, I'm sure you are intelligent, I think so but your post earlier was rather deviated from what should be tagged "intelligent".
Don't take anything from me because I'm an African, let's go to your so-called "superior race", the Scandinavians and see what they think of a show you consider to be "ingenious"
The viewers in Denmark think the show is = Humiliating and Sexist.
Your GENIUS opinion of himself=" As*man"
The ingenious questions he ask on the show=" how's the P*ssy working out for you?"
Critics view of the show = 1. Sexist and Humiliating
2. Chauvinistic
They describe the show as a claustrophobic strip club.

These are not my opinions, they are that of your so-called superior race. My opinion was (I don't care) and I wasn't going to comment till I fell on your opinion which was ODD from what everybody so far mentioned held.....#"A BREAKTHROUGH"
I asked your age because of how you deduced it to real life, for instance, you rightly agreed that Africans are stepping on their feet.
OK! Alright!! What's your solution?
We should work about NUDE as this would usher-in our needed BREAKTHROUGH. Seriously? That's what you will proffer? This only begs for one question and I'll ask again.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?

Whatever.

I'd already made my point. Don't have the energy or time to engage in a meaningless and totally unproductive argument.

*Exits thread forever*

I didn't even know that the critiqing went on for so long. Geez.
This show is a stûpid idea. What men like in women differ so the producer is doing nothing else but giving his personal opinion of how women should look.
