I read this reply before I'd read 8x8's post, and my gut instinct was to agree with your sentiments. On going back to read his post, though, I think you're missing his point.
I didn't see the programme, but it's obvious from 8x8's description that the revealing of the participants' bollocks was not done in a 'serious medical documentary about testicular cancer' kind of way.
I get it. It was done in that trendy 'let's discuss serious matters in a fun way' manner, but the fact remains; had this been a documentary about breast cancer, with female participants, and booms of "Get yur tits out!" coming from the audience, there'd have been an absolute outrage.
Thanks for your input. The show talked about different cancers (breast/cervix etc) but there was no specific discussion beforehand about testicles or cancer relating to the nudity. It was:
"Ok ladies if we reach £x Million for cancer these guys will do a strip tease and get their cocks out on live TV"
Which was followed by female screams of excitement. Davina then kept mentioning she wanted to see the guys cocks. When the show came to an end they revealed how much was raised for charity (which was a great amount). The presenters were then like "you know what that means" which was followed by female screams and then thousands of women chanting OFF! OFF! OFF! (including the female and gay male presenter)
The men then stood up and did a striptease to music. They were shown naked from behind, they turned around with one hand covering their genitals and a party popper in the other hand, which they set off from their crotches (to simulate male ejaculation) and they then removed their hands to reveal their cocks. Followed by screams from the women.
There was no medical or awareness information (if there had of been you wouldn't of heard it over the women screaming OFF! OFF! OFF! anyway) I should say I don't blame the women for being sexual about it as its not like they got the wrong end of the stick and turned a serious subject into a sexual one. The nudity was always a sexual one as it was a prize for reaching a donation goal. So they were allowed to scream and chant for the men to get their cocks out. The sexual innuendos by the presenters beforehand and after were all penis related not testicular.
