ACDP Slams Striptease Reality Show As Degrading

The ACDP says it is "extremely disturbed and disappointed" that another programme for adult audiences will be broadcast on television, after MultiChoice's announcement that it is looking for wannabe and professional strippers for a new reality show called Stripteaze.

"The airing of a striptease contest is degrading on the part of the broadcaster, those being sexually exploited in the show, and for the public in general," said ACDP spokes-woman Cheryllyn Dudley about the show, which will be broadcast on DStv from September.


Brainchild of Teazers owner Lolly Jackson, the new show invites people to strip down to their G-strings on television for prizes worth R300 000.

The format of the show will resemble that of other reality TV competitions such as Idols.

Auditions for female and male strippers will be held at Teazers clubs across South Africa from next week.

"This sort of 'adult' public entertainment is sadly not only legal, but defended in the name of free speech and expression, but there is a price to be paid," the ACDP said.

"All too often because children are small and can easily be manipulated, they fall victim to those who have been aroused by adult porn or so-called adult entertainment," Dudley said.

"The sort of antics anticipated on the reality TV show would increase the dangers for children, even in their own homes."

But Jackson, who says his idea for the show had been turned down since 1999, says he is not concerned about the possible controversy.

"Since I've started this business I've had total resistance," he says. "My business has been built on resistance. The more they bitch, the more advertising I get."

He adds that "everyone wants to feel sexy, everyone has done it behind closed doors".

"We are just opening up the doors."

Jackson added he doubted the show would impact negatively on society.

On their website, MultiChoice argues that "the time is ripe to showcase some of the elements" of "strip-dancing", which they say "has become immensely popular".

"Stripteaze is a classy yet sensual show where South Africa's best female and male strip dancers compete against each other for the viewers' votes and the title of Stripteaze champion of South Africa," states the release.

But the ACDP says that "reducing women and men to sexual commodities has a devastating impact on the lives of those involved and will further undermine the moral fibre of our nation".

At least it's first in South Africa and may spread to the rest of the world like Big Brother, Idols, Deal or No deal, Surviver ,etc. We will be the first to run it. Can't wait. Our first Original Reality Show, WOW.
