Is this the most sexist TV programme in history? Chat show where women strip off as two men critique their naked bodies

  • Creator Thomas Blachman claims that the female body 'thirsts for the words of a man'
  • Critics brand vile show, which uses derogatory comments about the female figure, as sexist and humiliating
  • Creator says this will open a debate about men's views of women's bodies without having to be 'politically correct'
  • Danish X-Factor judge retreats to New York home saying his country is 'ungrateful' and will 'wear down geniuses'

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.'

Hmmm not sure what to think but if it were me up there I'd want to hear favorable remarks or else. Hahaa

Maybe I shouldn't admit that I'm Danish in light of this controversial? show.
