(WLTR) How is this even legal? This comes to us courtesy of the Netherlands where they have a new TV show called âSimply Nakedâ. The premise? Adults get naked in front of children. Children look and stare and ask questions. Who comes up with this crap? I thought this is basically porno with kidsâŠ. Watch this clip and donât worry the actual porno parts are blurred out:
DEPRAVED: New TV Show Has Buck Naked Adults Parading Around In New âKids Showâ
Weâve hit a new low, ladies and gentlemen! A new low of filth on TV and filth in society. Didnât think it could be done? âHold my beerâ says Danish TV channel DR Ultra who is promoting the new show. As these freaks from the Deep State always do it, they pitch it under the guise of something positive: promoting positive body image. Give me a freaking break! Is this ok with you?
âOK, children, does anyone have a question?â the TV showâs host, Jannik Schow, asked. Only a few in the audience of 11- to 13-year-olds raised their hands. âRemember, you canât do anything wrong,â he said. âThere are no bad questions.â
You canât blame the children if their thoughts were elsewhere. On a stage before them in a heated studio in Copenhagen stood five adults in bathrobes. There was a brief moment of silence, as faces turned serious. Having discussed it for days before in school, the children knew what was coming next. Mr. Schow gave a little nod, and the adults cast off their robes.

Facing the children, and the cameras, they stood completely naked, like statues, with their hands and arms folded behind their backs.
And so began a recording of the latest episode of an award-winning Danish childrenâs program, âUltra Strips Down,â which is shown on Ultra, the on-demand childrenâs channel of the national broadcaster, DR. The topic today: skin and hair.
The showâs producers say the program is meant as an educational tool to fight body shaming and encourage body positivity. And so first reluctantly, later enthusiastically, the children from the Orestad School in Copenhagen asked the adults questions like: âAt what age did you grow hair on the lower part of your body?â âDo you consider removing your tattoos?â âAre you pleased with your private parts?â
One of the adults, Martin, answered that he had never had ânegative thoughtsâ about his private parts. Another adult, also named Martin, admitted that when he was young he had worried about size. âBut the relationship with myself has changed over time,â he said.
With serious looks on their faces, the children nodded.
SICK STUFF!

The program is now in its second season, and while perhaps a shock to non-Danes, it is highly popular in Denmark. Recently, however, a leading member of the right-wing Danish Peopleâs Party, Peter Skaarup, said he found âUltra Strips Downâ to be âdepraving our children.â
âIt is far too early for childrenâ to start with male and female genitalia, he told B.T., a Danish tabloid. At that age, he said, they âalready have many things running around in their heads.â
âThey have to learn it at the right time,â he added, saying this information should be presented by parents or schools âso that it is not delivered in this vulgar way, as the childrenâs channel does.â Editorsâ Picks
For the most part, though, Danes have long been comfortable with nudity, at public beaches, for instance.

Mr. Schow, 29, who helped develop the concept of the show after a producer came up with the idea, said the point was also to counter the daily bombardment of young people with images of perfect â unrealistic â bodies. The adults are not actors, but volunteers.
âPerhaps some people are like, âOh, my God, they are combining nakedness and kids,ââ Mr. Schow said. âBut this has nothing to do with sex, itâs about seeing the body as natural, the way kids do.â
Danish television series Ultra Strips Down has recieved backlash for adult nudity in front of children.
The award-winning Danish series sees naked adults shown to 11 to 13-year-old children to âpromote body positivity and combat body-shamingâ, according to the New York Times.
Airing on Danish channel DR Ultra, the show seeks to break down ideas surrounding conventional body types and processes.
In a recent episode, five adults disrobed to show their naked bodies to the children in a bid to answer questions surrounding skin and hair on the body.
One child asked: âAt what age did you grow hair on the lower part of your body?â
âDo you consider removing your tattoos?,â questions another.
Meanwhile, another child asks: âAre you pleased with your private parts?â

The show won Best Childrenâs Programme at the Danish TV Festival, with Denmark carrying much less cultural taboos surrounding nudity and the human body compared to other western countries.
However, after a clip of the series went viral on Facebook, a backlash has come about due to the showâs content.
One person wrote on Twitter: âThe Danish âchildrenâsâ show, âUltra Strips Downâ, claims it teaches kids about body types by having ADULTS STRIP NAKED right before their eyes! The assault on children is real, itâs global and itâs intentional. #ProtectChildren â.
A different Twitter user wrote: âsure sounds depraved.â
Meanwhile, here are the ages of the kids on the show:
This ok with you?
And from the UK:
âNAKED EDUCATIONâ â TV Show In UK Has Adults Getting NUDE In Front Of Kids!
SoâŠhowâs this for a new TV show? Imagine pitching this one to a TV Network â and then imagine them buying it! So hereâs the idea: weâll just have a bunch of adults get Buck Naked in front of kids (read: minors) and then the kids will have to describe the bodies and rate them. Sound like something that you should go to jail over? You almost certainly would if you did that in your house. But if you do it on Channel 4 in the UK apparently itâs a hit TV show. Talk about sick.
From The Guardian, here are more details:
Channel 4âs long-running but to-this-day terrifying dating show, Naked Attraction, must hold the record for the number of boobs, bellies and balls shown on British television. Its host Anna Richardson has always tried to steer the judging of strangersâ anatomies towards a message of positivity about our endlessly different shapes and sizes, with limited success â and now she has a new series, Naked Education, with which to atone. Again, the hook is unbridled nudity, but this time the focus is definitely on acceptance, myth-busting and affirmative shared experiences.
Weâre in a light-factual magazine format, flipping between clearly labelled sections that recur reassuringly every week. âTeen Talkâ gathers together a group of teenagers and asks for their views on a particular aspect of body image, before a gentle re-education takes place at the hands of co-presenters Yinka Bokinni and Dr Alex George. Their unconventional, unforgettable teaching aid? A lineup of fully naked adults.
The first topic for the teens is body hair, a subject that turns out to be, for secondary-schoolers, a funky morass of legend, rumour and prejudice. Bobbi, now 14, laments only having developed pubic hair at the age of 12: âQuite late!â Equally incorrect, in a way that is also half adorable and half alarming, is 15-year-old Elliott, who shaves his armpits and thinks pubic hair should be eradicated as well, because itâs unhygienic and helps spread sexually transmitted diseases.
Once Dr Alex has hit the kids with the facts â there are no hygiene issues, and inflamed skin caused by unnecessary shaving actually makes some STDs easier to contract â four figures in robes emerge, and itâs time for the blushing and giggling to start because those robes are about to hit the floor.
When the teens have calmed down, however, the passing on of wisdom that follows is wonderfully revelatory. One of the nude volunteers explains how her ex-partner insisted she remove her pubic hair, which is why heâs no longer around but her bush visibly is. Another, 26-year-old Bethany, has embraced the hairy legs and beard that are a consequence of polycystic ovary syndrome. Her quietly defiant speech about how she accepts the way she looks and challenges others to follow suit is, to an audience of trainee adults who, five minutes ago, thought nobody could ever love a girl who isnât utterly hairless, a gamechanger. Theyâre impressed just by the sight of three women and a man lifting up their arms, to show eight pits all naturally, beautifully hirsute.
SoâŠ.what do you think? Educational and helpful to children? Or a sick excuse to get Buck Naked in front of minors? It feels like âWeekend At Joe Bidenâs House!â
