Victoria's Secret TV Runway Show Canceled

[MikePanic]

now what are we gonna do?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Lingerie company Victoria's Secret, owned by Limited Brands, has canceled its televised runway fashion shows as regulators crack down on what they see as indecency, the Wall Street Journal said on Monday.
The decision not to go forward with the yearly televised program was made after one of Janet Jackson's breast's was exposed during the Super Bowl half-time show, Ed Razek, chief marketing officer for Limited, told the Journal.

The incident caused public outcry.

Viacom Inc.'s CBS network has carried the fashion show for the last two years.

While the show garnered a lot of media attention, it did not score big ratings and failed to bring in much extra holiday traffic to Victoria's Secret stores, the Journal said.

A Limited representative was not immediately available to comment.

I applaud the decision because the show is worthless.

I abhore the decision because it's another step towards other people controlling what I watch.

Why don't they just put it on cable?

The only thing cable channels have to worry about is losing advertisers. No FCC BS.

No, I love looking at women. It's just that if I'm going to watch porn, I'll watch fully naked women, none of this scantily clad crap. I mean, what's the point?

Anyway, most of those models need a sandwich anyway and don't really have any boobs to speak of.

I am not planning on joining the repost nazis. I was pointing out that they would show up.


Though, sitting around all day looking at AT, waiting on someone to repost something, so that I may pounce on them while yelling, "REPOST! REPOST! REPOST!", does sound kind of fun!
