Dutch public TV to broadcast Deep Throat!

The sex theme evening on nationwide Dutch TV channel Nederland 3 has been scheduled for 23 February 2008.

A stale old porn movie is at the centre of a political row involving Dutch public television. Public broadcasting corporations VPRO and BNN are planning to screen Deep Throat, a 1972 vintage production, as part of a themed night on the history of pornographic films. Although the film will be aired after midnight and be embedded in a discussion programme, political parties are clamouring for steps to be taken.

The small Christian Union, a junior partner in the current coalition government, says that Deep Throat glorifies the suppression of women. Party leader Arie Slob says, "It is a historical symbol of unashamed sexual exploitation and of perverse greed. The film brought 600 million dollars into the box office, but it also ruined a human being. The so-called star [Linda Lovelace] later declared that she was pressured into her 'acting'."

Taboos and kidneys
Public reaction to the TV companies' plan is mixed. Dutch viewers are used to VPRO breaking taboos on screen, it having been the first to show a naked woman in a prime time TV programme in the 1960s.

Its partner broadcaster BNN has a reputation for causing uproar. In 2007 they broadcast the Big Kidney Donor Show, in which three candidates were to compete to gain a kidney donated by a dying woman. While the show was on air, it was announced that it was a hoax; BNN's intention was to provoke a national discussion about organ donation.
