Channel 4's 'Body shocking show' - sexist, or just gut churning rubbish?

    ADULT CONTENT NSFW AND GENERALLY AWFUL TRASH RESIDES WITHIN THIS LINK http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-body-shocking-show/4od

    Has anyone here watched this? I've only just pressed play. It sounded like trash, but I thought there might be something half enlightening and educational on show. There's not.

    I'm an easy going male; it takes a lot to get me going. Currently they're reeling through photo after photo of women and pointing out their disgusting blemishes while demanding that they "cover up" - I don't know if it continues with this theme, but I thought I'd post here as it might make for some interesting discussion.

    At the very least I'd assume we can at least share a sort of mutual shock and distaste... or maybe I'm just odd, and this is what passes for entertainment these days?

    Sorry for the rambling spur of the moment post... I just felt compelled to vent and rant!

    I've only seen bits of this, but what I have seen tended to focus on people who did crazy things to their bodies, like the guy who had surgery to make himself look like a cat.

    But a lot of people I've seen featured were men, so I don't really see how it could be sexist against women. It could have just been that segment?

    But either way it's complete trash like most of the stuff e4 produce themselves. (Although I do enjoy some of it :)).

    That cat guy killed himself a few months back.
