LONDON, May 6 (UPI) -- The producers of the new British reality show "Naked Office" say they are hunting for companies willing to have their employees shed their clothes.

Guarantee it won't happen where I work.

Oh I'm quite sure they'll find a publicity hungry company willing to take part, and this question was asked of British Naturism members on the BN forum, we get quite a lot of requests for things like this these days, I put this down to the influence of Andrew Welch our Commercial Manager.

Interesting idea, but I can't see it work either. Will they find a company, and will it make for a watchable TV show? I have my doubts.
I hope we get follow-up and hear if it happens.

To quote from the article:

"The purpose of the program is to analyze attitudes toward nudity, body image and the role of clothing in office hierarchy, the producers said."

Yeah, right -- and I suppose ratings have nothing to do with it . . . ?

Still, it would be a fun show to watch, and even more fun to participate. From where I live it would be a helluva commute, though ...

The concept is a bit ahead of its time I think, though it is possible the Producers might find a company willing to "allow" their employees to participate, I think willing to "...have their employees shed their clothes." is a bit backwards. By this I mean the company OWNS the location, not the employees! So it really is up to the employees whether they want to see any co-workers nude (most do I bet) or be seen by co-workers in a completely revealing manner.

The shows concept treads of old ground but possibly the addition of a cash prize incentive *might* get some level of participation and permission to film on a company's property. The times are tough financially and I cannot see where there would be long term "bad" consequences for a company with a good reputation, quality service or a high degree of anonymity (prior to the show) to let employees "win" 15 minutes of fame.

I hope some company encourages their employees to "think outside the box" and challenge themselves to reach new levels of personal humility by accepting THIS challenge. Anyone that has the "guts" to BOTH go naked before their co-workers AND have it filmed for later broadcast is about as "real" and determined to live life as they come! (at this moment in time)

Think: Small company, family owned, no storefront and a significant British Naturism (BN) membership.

It would be cool if it they could get a delivery company of some type. Like UPS or DHL.
