[Revolting cat!]

What's qwrong with those chicks' legs? Why do they place their feet in an 'X' pattern when they walk?

[MinuteGal]

Hey, Dio! Why did you ping me? LOL!

I've got my own secret. I couldn't fit into one of Victoria's spaghetties with ten quarts of olive oil all over me!

[IronJack]

"Does it push the envelope? Sure. But everyone knows what the Victoria's Secret fashion show is,"

Yeah. Soft-core porn.

[cajun-jack]

ellen degenerate has drowned....she was found face down in rikki lake.

[FreePaul]

How disgusting...

I don't want to make a snap judgement but I will probably agree with you after I watch it. I'll have to see if we have a working TV for tomorrow night.

For years my wife was on their catalogue mailing list, twice. I always took the second catalogue to work. In addition to enjoying the models everyone got a laugh out of the wild stuff the company had for sale.

[Paul Atreides]

But, aren't the models just doing what they want with their own bodies? If a woman chooses to let a man look at her body, what right is it of NOW's? NOW would have every woman, except the ugly ones, wearing burkas.

So much for pro-choice.

[diotima]

Give the man a cigar.

[Jason Kauppinen]

Buttocks rotation?

[DoughtyOne]

Where's my Geritol?

[diotima]

They are doing what the want with their bodies. I don't begrudge them that. The issue is, should this be on Network TV at 9pm across the country AND advertised on television programs that have a pre-teen/teenage demographic?

[diotima]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of NOW.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

It is not soft core porn. It is serious shopping.

And yes, I get the catalogues everywhere, so I never go far without having one to leaf through.

[ThinkDifferent]

Melissa Cardwell, research director for the Parents Television Council, said she had hoped that the hundreds of protests about last year's special would have dissuaded broadcasters from showing it again.

Hmm, hundreds of protests versus tens of millions of viewers. I bet it took them nearly three tenths of a second to make that call.

[mc5cents]

(male)Protester standing outside the show:
I'M SHOCKED, SHOCKED AT WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE THIS THEATER!

(Man walks up to protester) your tickets sir

[diotima]

Seriously, their stuff is cheap crap. (their product not their pictures.) I'm sure you get a lot of use form their catlogs. ;^)

[steve-b]

Give the man a cigar.

I don't think IronJack is into any of that kinky clinton stuff....

[YoungKentuckyConservative]

I'm way too busy to waste my time on watching this garbage. Then again, that goes for most of what is on television. Let the sheep commence viewing (makes me think of the scene in Animal Farm where the pigs realize that the "box of images" distracts the simpler animals).

Four legs good....two legs better!!!!

[Celtjew Libertarian]

I've long wondered what Victoria's Secret was... and worried that it was she was really a man.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

But its good-looking cheap crap. The Empress Palpatine always gets some clothes and other stuff from it, and enjoys it for as long as it lasts.

[Hodar]

The issue is, should this be on Network TV at 9pm across the country AND advertised on television programs that have a pre-teen/teenage demographic?

What is wrong with a show that has attractive women wearing skimpy clothes? Sex and sexual attraction are natural and normal. Pre-teen and teenage people know this fact; I certainly did when I was younger. Whether it's Victorias Secret or the Sears catalog bra section; kids will see and gawk. If people have a problem with this; watch something else.
