It's not yet been broadcasted; all the news so far has been controversy around the announcement. Once it is broadcasted next weekend it will be available online; but it will be region locked to the Netherlands (so you need a VPN to access it).

In that case we’ll need someone with brains to check it out and translate

2.3 likes and 4.6 dislikes.  Very sad.  We've got a long long way to go where normalizing nudity is concerned.  :-(

The voters are also around a total of 7k out of almost 600k (I think 2% of total viewers), so it is mostly people just mad and angry enough to vote so the ratio isn't very representative of anything

Turns out a group has collected signatures to ask parliament to stop broadcasting of the program.

Luckily there was only one person in the entirety of parliament who wanted to accept the signatures, from a religious party with 3 out of the 150 members of parliament.

So you would say that, in general, it is more people that are accepting the show, rather than the other way around? I mean, people in the Netherlands, of course. I found it a bit surprising that, some people that are considered progressives are against the show; but then again, those people are in the US, so progressives in US standards.

Albeit I like the intent what it comes off as is kinda akin to taking a child to a strip club to show them that nudity is natural. I do like the idea of taking a child to a naturist resort more but I think that's also kind of making a spectacle out of it too, also probably near none of their parents would sign off on the idea. This is the type of thing that won't change with force, kind of needs to happen naturally.

This is great! I hope more people come to accept body positivity, especially here in the U.S.

So, Dutch users, did you see it?
