"Social media users are demanding that Victoria’s Secret take down its latest advertising campaign, “Perfect Body,” which plays off the title of its Body by Victoria bra but also has the words superimposed over pictures of tall, thin supermodels, because they believe it promotes unrealistic standards of beauty. What do you think?

Victoria

The lingerie company sparked outrage for a new campaign celebrating “The Perfect ‘Body.'” The ad copy is a riff on the brand’s “Body” lingerie line, but since the slogan hovers above the supermodels’ bodies, people say it sends the wrong message.

Victoria's Secret Perfect Body Campaign: Backlash, Petition

Your thoughts?

Here is the petition lol

The UK has an obesity problem as well as a large population of ugly people. They hate to be reminded of that fact.

Fat, ugly feminists shouldn't be anywhere near Victoria's Secret.

Just as slim, beautiful women shouldn't be anywhere near fat farms.

I just don't get this. If they really believe "true beauty" Then they should also accept Victoria's secret models. These are all beautiful women no? Who are real beauty, who are fake?

I'm outraged there is so much faux outrage ginned up over every little thing in this world. People gotta learn to ignore and just live.

Some of those women are reasonably attractive, others, far from it.

Why be upset when someone else takes care of their body?

Morons have always been outraged. Before they could complain to friends, family and co-workers, now they have the internet.

And bars. Don't forget the bars. That is where I used to hear drunkards hold forth on politics, etc.
