As a woman, I am disgusted, affronted, and mystified by this high handed decision of a formerly family friendly network to casually alienate and insult millions of women by glorifying women's objectification, especially in a time when the global sex trade, driven by demand for young girls, is running rampant.
As a writer and entertainment advocate, I can't form words to describe what I feel is a poorly conceived and insensitive idea, not to mention the low entertainment value that such a program introduces. Even more appalling is the obvious lack of respect for the women executives and employees who work for NBC.
So what's to be done? I, for one, have no plans to waste time watching a program that lends no value at all to dramatic television. NBC was already on my "list" for cancelling Undercovers and The Event. I can't think of one program currently on the NBC roster that even piques my interest enough to watch a preview. The programming schedule at NBC seems to change with the erratic speed of a hungry chimp leaping for a swaying bunch of bananas.
I have lent my voice to the Facebook campaign, "CAUSES", in the hope that this show will not air and be replaced by programming that is more appropriate, appealing, and frankly, more creative.
