Thai TV talent show criticized over topless painter.

A 23-year-old woman appeared on the Thai version of the " Got Talent" programme and after politely speaking to the 3 judges took off her checked shirt and jeans and removed her bra. She then turned her back to the camera, facing a canvas and pots of paint and doused her naked torso from the buckets of yellow, green, red and black paint and rubbed it into her breasts.

As dance music played she rubbed herself against the canvas, using her torso to paint as a stunned audience and the three judges – two men, one woman – stared in disbelief at the woman in front of them.

Thailand's culture minister, Sukumol Khunploem, said that " public nudity was unacceptable and jarred with Thailand's conservative culture".

However, the two male judges decided the performance was a form of artistic expression and advanced her to the next round.
