Pakistani dating show sparks anger ahead of its debut on YouTube

The trailer for a Pakistani dating show has sparked outrage among viewers ahead of its debut on YouTube this week. The program, Lifestyle with Mehwish, features an attractive woman who hosts the show while wearing low-cut dresses that reveal her cleavage.
The trailer shows the host talking to two men sitting across from her and then turning to the camera to ask whether they should get married. Both men then turn toward the camera and smile. The clip ends with the host saying, So, it's decided, right?
Some of those who have watched the trailer are not pleased with what they've seen. One commenter wrote on YouTube that he was very disappointed by the choice of the lady. He added I was expecting someone who could speak English and Urdu fluently.
Another commentator said she felt the show was inappropriate because it featured men discussing marriage while wearing shorts. She concluded her comment by writing, This is not a good example for our society.
Those offended by the trailer have been urged to report the video on YouTube so that it can be removed from the site.
Lifestyle with Mehwish premieres Thursday at 400 p.m., Pakistani time (1130 a.m. Eastern Time).
