A reality TV show called Undressed premiered tonight in Australia.
The premise is that a couple strips each other down to their underwear, climbs in bed, and interacts as directed by words on a giant screen.
This goes beyond creepy into the realm of the satanic, in that it is a grotesque inversion of intimacy (the couple are strangers), exclusivity (they are used as instruments to titillate unseen multitudes), and humanity (their actions are directed by a giant screen).
Please ask the intercession of Blessed Mary Ever Virgin.
What we are seeing here are intimations of sexual union stripped of the divine sacramental context of marriage, and inserted into the profane public context of spectacle, offering a foretaste of some horrible future in which we are all goods for each other’s consumption.
If only we realized that we are more naked before God than before a million strangers.
A link to a Daily Mail story on the show is below, which contains a few pictures documenting what I have described. I recommend avoiding it if you think that it would constitute a near occasion of sin.
