Bring your potato chips, beer and recliner..
Of course as the spokswomen said the Men's Auxillary will be reviewing 'the fashion programming with musical and comedy segments in between segments'
"What purpose does the special serve except to overly sexualize women and use this to bolster the networks' demographics for young men?" they asked in a joint letter to CBS President Leslie Moonves.

CNN picked it up....
Certainly, if I put it on my telly, I know a certain lady who wouldn't leave enough of me to provide a malnourished chihuahua for supper. ;)
And darling, if you're reading this - it's being broadcast in America not Britain.

I'm holding out for the pay-per-view hard core version.
Actually, the problem is that it does not push the envelope. Mass media is saturated with soft porn. This is safely following the trend in media ethics, not breaking any new ground.
That would be about it. cf. "Capitalism".
However definitely not the work of the devil!
And also let me add that it always amazes me that some people will try to cancel a program on TV that does not personally fit well with them. They will strive their hardest to shut it down (even if they are the only family finding problems with the program), instead of doing something extremely simple: turn of their TV set! I think the same applies to this Victoria Secrets program: If someone has a problem with it, or thinks it is soft porn, or that the women are reincarnations of the 7 dukes of hell .....then the simple and prudent thing to do is switch to another channel, listen to the radio, or go for a walk! However when they try to paint the whole thing as evil or responsible for every bad thing since stale bread then you have to wonder .....who exactly has the agenda?
And something else! I always laugh when i see some criticizing the women who appear on the adverts for Victoria secret for being too skinny, emaciated, and so forth! That is funny because for one the ladies in the adverts are not emaciated (for truly skinny look at Euro-trash fashion shows ...now THAT is skinny). Secondly (and by far more importantly) i could safely state that the vast majority of men would like to meet anyone of those V.S models; and furthermore probably even more women would sell half their soul to look even remotely like those women do! However since most men do not have access to such beauties, and most women only look like that on Friday nights (when some guy at some nightspot is trying to woo and flirt with them, and in the process tells them lies about how they look like Giselle) then it becomes easy to criticize. Obviously there are exceptions (eg men who truly prefer plump women; or women who are truly confident in themselves and value who they are instead of how they look, and hence have no reason to pine after a body type that only 15 years olds can keep). However the vast majority who criticize are just being hypocritical.
To prove a point look at the following picture! True, some may prefer buxom beauties, others women with higher percentages of body fat for their own respective reasons! However i would easily make a bet that most men would prefer someone who looks as follows, and that most women would like a body type close to that! After all how come the health industry(read Body Shaping since it is more towards looks than health ....health just happens to be a by product) is a multi-billion dollar industry? Simple reason: Men want to have bodies attractive enough to attract women like these models; and women want to have bodies like those models have!
Anyways here is the picture of one of the VS models, Adrianna.
