Not sure if this has been brought up already. I inadvertently caught something called "The Undateables" last night, a "documentary" about people with various learning disabilities and/or disfigurements trying to find love.
They seem to have increasing amounts of this sort of freakshow shite on Channel 4 at the moment. Light entertainment which is patronising at best and mocking at worst, posing as serious investigative programming. See also the gypsy one.
The sentiment of these programs made me think of that Stewart Lee skit where he's describing Richard Hammond's cowardly reaction to Clarkson making the joke about Gordon Brown being a "one-eyed Scottish idiot" - giggling at the joke and then putting on a serious, disapproving face.

I disagreed with the burglar’s policy, of tying me to a chair. But I did admire his convictions.
