London, May 3: A Danish prime-time TV show has been slammed for humiliating naked women paraded in front of male 'judges'.
The "Blachman" show, hosted by Thomas Blachman, features a series of silent women who walk in to a studio and slip out of their bathrobes in front of the host and his male guest, the Sun reported.
The pair then openly runs their eye over the nude guests and controversially judges the women on their bodies.
However Blachman, a jazz musician who claims to have created the concept, said he doesn't consider the content problematic.
He asserted that the aim was to "stir discussion about the aesthetics of the female body without allowing the conversation to become pornographic or politically.

Just when we thought we'd heard of every conceivable means of humiliating a woman on TV, along came "Blachman."
Here's the premise of this Danish prime-time TV show: a woman enters a room and silently strips in front of the male host and a male guest, who then critique the woman's body out loud in front of her.
Danish X-Factor judge Thomas Blachman, who hosts the new, eponymous show, claims he doesn't consider the content problematic. He told the Daily Mail, "[T]he 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."
