(PHOTOS) The Most Sensual TV Program Where Women Take Off Clothes And Men Examine Their Bodies

A Danish chat show where women silently undress as the male host and a
guest critique their bodies hasbeen branded humiliating and sexist by
viewers.
The women walk on in a bath robe and then standin front of the two men
who are seated on an empty set with one harshlight.
Each model then removesher 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'sthat p****' working out for you?' and 'Very animated bosoms.'
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 aman'.
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
aestheticsof a female body withoutallowing the conversation to become
P0*nographic or politically correct'.
He said: 'I told them the entire idea of the show isto let men talk
about the bodies of unclad 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 forit.'
He added that he wantedto '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that the young fillies on view in Roskilde have been replaced by
unclad women.'
Hansen has started a campaign demanding DRcancel the show 'before this
goes any further'.
Martin Lyngbo of the Mungo Park Theater said Blachman's show
'institutionalizes already run-of-the-mill malechauvinistic thinking.'
An unrepentant Blachman, who has sinceretreated 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 defendedthe project, said the show
must go on and does not think that the TV critics should have thefinal
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 channelDR2.
