Boycott Title

Boycott Victorias Secret mall advertisings

Boycott Description

The front window advertising for VS stores in the malls is totally inappropriate.  Their latest window displays consist of huge photos of several of their models showing off their partially covered breasts. Malls are a shopping area that should be appropriate for all ages.  I am embarassed to walk past the VS windows let alone go their with my 16 yr. old daughter.  Malls are a common area for teenagers to shops and socialize. What kind of message and influence is this having on them?  We tell our children to treat each other with respect and decency, and then they are exposed to those kind of images. VS has spent a lot of money to try to convince us all  how desirable and cool it is to behave and dress like their models.  Enough is enough.

Boycott Demands

To stop shopping at VS until they change their displays and recognize that the trend they are trying to set is inapporpriate and unaceptable for a family shopping area.

Advertisers should not be assumptive

Advertiser's should not just assume EVERYONE other there appreciates their ads. Nor should they ASSUME that everyone wants to see their ads aired ever few mins. VS has now resorted to advertising on the side of our e-mail accounts. Children have access to e-mail accounts too and can see them.

As far as they are 'well known for their bras'....LOL...obviously you are a guy. They bras may have lace and maybe see through and lean towards the provacative....BUT....they are junk! They might make it through 2-3 washes before falling apart and ever notice they only use girls with very little breasts? It's because they have no support unless they wear one 2 sizes to small to push up the bee bites.
They don't HAVE to use sex to sell their under wear / bras...does 'Fruit of the Loom' use Chippendales?
If you have to resort to sex to sell your product....it tells me it has little else to offer. Which I know to be true. They also got into trouble for reselling used items that were returned and put back out for sale. YUM!
And no...I am not a big heavy person ... I just happen to be bigger chested AND I am very 'anti any thing' that tears down the morals of our society. VS fits the bill.

They're well-known for their bras...

Ordinarily I would agree with this, but Victoria's Secret is mostly well-known for their bras and underwear, so naturally they're going to have women posing in those kinds of clothing in their advertisements. If they were mostly well-known for their jeans and they were doing that, it would be a completely different story, so I find this to be rather ridiculous.
