NY Daily News is not to be trusted. I did find this on his IMDB page though:
Blachman (2013– )
In this much-debated series, Thomas Blachman discusses gender roles with a male guest while women undress in front of them.


I can't find any non-Murdock source, or a page that doesn't reference a British tabloid. Come on, The Sun, isn't this basically your Page 3 girl? As stupid and sexist as it sounds, I'd actually be interested in watching an episode myself before judging it. Discussing gender roles in the presence of a stripping, silent, guest is a world away from just critiquing a nude. Either way, I'm not sure how you can squeeze a whole show out of it.

Awful, demeaning shows are hardly a new thing, though. Ever heard of Queen for a Day?

He looks like an even douchier version of Howie Mandell. But really, this entire thing makes me incredibly sad because every time it seems like we as a society taken a step toward gender equality, we take two back.

I hadn't, so I looked it up. I don't understand the problem. The wikipedia page basically describes it as being a crowdsourced Extreme Home Makeover selection, then that it was the worst piece of crap ever produced. "Cheap, insulting, and utterly degrading" coming right after "Often the request was for medical care or therapeutic equipment to help a chronically ill child, but sometimes it was as simple as the need for a hearing aid, a new washing machine, or a refrigerator... The prizes, many of which were donated by sponsoring companies, began with the necessary help the woman had requested, but built from there."

I'm actually getting quite worried I might be incredibly sexist (my ASI overall is .36, but self reporting, so who knows?).

There's clips & translations up on Gawker: http://gawker.com/women-stripped-naked- ... -487553028

It's not really a discussion of gender roles. It's more like the guy and his buddy trying to come up with the best slang words for 'vagina' before adding "Nice tits".

Does this sound like a Monty Python skit to anybody?
