"Embarassing Bodies" on Channel 4 is a runaway success. People's bit's that never normally see the light of day are watched by millions as they are examined in a kind of voyeuristic "grossfest".
Nothing to be embarassed about we're told. Is this an attack on taboo's or a commerical exploitation of people's fears and a cover for voyeurism like a medical version of Big Brother? Channel 4 are now running a series on embarassing teenage bodies. Am I alone in finding this disturbing?
An advert is now running on Irish radio for some plastic surgery centre. The woman's voice tells us it's difficult to feel all woman if your flat-chested, happiness and smiles are the rewards from breast-augmentation we're told. Since when is a woman's happiness reliant on her breast-size?
The most popular item on today's online Irish Times is headed " Are Irish men really the joint ugliest in the world?" Okay it's delivered as tongue in cheek, but what's wrong with a world so obsessed with looks and obsessed with voyeurism. Is modern life so empty of real meaning?
