AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Netherlands, the country that has pioneered reality shows like "Big Brother", is planning a new first -- a dating programme for the visibly disfigured.

　　The broadcaster SBS 6 is seeking candidates for its "Love at Second Sight" show due to be launched on February 20.

　　荷兰SBS 6电视台目前正在为即将于2月20日开始播出的《心灵之爱》节目征集候选人，这是一档以外表有缺陷的人为主题的速配节目。

　　"Do you have a visible serious handicap and are you looking for a partner?" says an appeal on its Web site.

　　"The programme is a platform for people with such problems to share experiences and feelings in a positive way with the rest of the Netherlands and to show that they are absolutely not pitiful," the broadcaster said.

　　"The main aim of the programme is to remove prejudice about these people, to create more acceptance and respect and, of course, to find the love of their lives."

　　据路透社1月24日报道，该电视台在其官方网站上说："你是否在外表上有明显的缺陷，同时你也正在找寻一位伴侣？"该电视台方面还指出："这档节目为外貌有缺陷的人提供了一个交友平台，使他们能够以一种积极的方式来与其他荷兰人一起分享自己的生活和情感经历，同时也向大家表明自己绝对不是什么可怜虫。本节目旨在消除社会对于这些人的偏见，并且呼吁对他们的接受和尊重。当然，也希望他们找到属于自己的真爱。"

　　But the majority of Dutch viewers are turned off by the show that was initially set to be called "Monster Love". A poll by the mass circulation De Telegraaf daily showed 85 percent do not like the idea, with only 9 percent in favour.

　　然而，绝大多数荷兰电视观众则表示他们非常反感这档最初曾被定名为《怪物之爱》的真人秀节目。该国发行量极大的《电讯报》曾经就此话题进行了一次民意调查，结果表明有85%的人不喜欢这一创意，而对其持赞同态度者所占比例仅为9%。
