LOL, nuts.

Plastic surgery ban for China TV
Popular reality television shows in China featuring people undergoing live cosmetic surgery have been banned.

The notice said the move was necessary to safeguard TV stations' credibility.

Such programmes have proved popular in a country where around one million people are reported to have plastic surgery each year.

A typical show features a large studio audience watching, via a live feed from a clinic, someone undergo cosmetic surgery, AFP news agency said.

Sex-change operations have also been carried out live on air.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) said in a notice posted on its website on Friday that such shows must end.

"All levels of television broadcasters must not plan or produce sex change or plastic surgery programmes involving public participation... effective immediately," the notice read.

"(Such programmes) currently being screened or in production must stop at once," it added.

UH Gross. Who wants to see live surgery anything!

Curiosity will get to some people...

Why it aired in the first place is my question...

I wonder what they think of shows like extreme makeover?
