NAKED BASKETBALL

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“Naked Basketball,” a weekly half- hour cable television program designed to amuse, titillate and astonish viewers, is scheduled for production as a late evening entry. Two teams of ten nude players (5 regulars and 5 substitutes) will play four five-minute quarters, with an intermission for interviews and a recap of the first half.
Similar to the Roman Olympics, players are stark naked except for athletic shoes. They have their names and numbers pasted on backs and team logos on chests. Six female cheer leaders perform in the nude during time outs.
The three referees wear jockstraps and bow ties. A panel of two men and three women (also nude) judge the players’ prowess by their ball handling, jumping ability and baskets made. Two booth announcers (l male, l female) describe the exciting court action on the air.
Camera angles are always long shots or medium close from the waist up. An invited audience of mostly women reacts in the spirit of Oprah’s screamers with constant excitement, cheers, shouts and applause. When a bra or thong is thrown on the gym floor, the perpetrator will be escorted out by security.
At the conclusion of program, judges vote to remove a player from each team for rule infractions; i.e. too many loose ball fouls; double dribbles, palming the ball, holding a ball on the rim or grabbing a player below the waist. The TV audience votes on their favorites in order to choose a MVP at the end of the series.
“Naked Basketball is a breakthrough for the 21st century television age because the whole world wants to view naked men playing basketball! It’s free, more exciting than Chippendale’s and represents good clean fun after the kids are in bed. Viewers can roar with laughter at the sight of grown men running up and down the gym floor shooting baskets.
There is no sexual conduct whatsoever. The present puritanical taboo against showing mens’ genitals on TV will be abolished once and for all.
