A rather 'unusual' contest

I really wonder what would be said in the UK if two hours of primetime Saturday evening television, consisted in 2008 of a MALE 'beauty' contest?

On Saturday 6th April 2008 SF1 presented ...

Mister Schweiz 2008

well, it used to happen here many years ago, and even sky has shown it ( female version)

I see no reason why it could not happen.

Bring it on!

It'll be Mr TSW all over again!

isn't it a tad sexist to assume a male beauty pagent is odd when a female one isn't

I'm thinking both would be considered non PC in the UK at present on mainstream television.

Tell that to Channel Five... although I realise now that their coverage of Miss World plus their documentaries about porn / naked women had a lot to do with Dawn Airey being a lesbian.

Yep - which itself was a UK version of a German format.

Didn't TSW have a Mr and Ms TSW contest in its day?

Nothing particularly unusual at all.

I remember Channel 5 did show Mr Gay UK a few years ago aswell.

Mr Gay UK has been a contest in the UK for a good number of years, before Channel 5 started broadcasting it.

It's not made for TV, rather the gay community.
