Shocker of the day: Victoria’s Secret still sucks

Apparently a new Victoria’s Secret marketing campaign that targets college women is pissing some people off. Um, why? Is this really news?
I’ll tell you though, while the idea that Victoria’s Secret wants young women to buy lingerie isn’t exactly a shocker, their weird campus-invasion technique is insulting in a do-you-really-think-I’m-that-stupid kind of way. I mean come on now, they’re trying to lure us with little pink doggies for fuck’s sake.
The new collection for 18- to 22-year-old women, PINK, is designed with sexiness and youthful energy…The models who wear the sexy apparel belong to a diverse group of all nationalities…
Because didn’t you know? College girls—unlike the rest of women—are diverse!
Rebecca Lehmer…of Christian Student Fellowship, said she’s not against the clothes, but questions the message Victoria’s Secret is issuing by marketing on campus…
Lehmer said some of Victoria’s Secret’s advertising is explicit and provocative. In some ways, it might be selling sex, she said.
Wow, really? Selling sex? She’s a sharp one. (Forgive me, my mood is cruel today.)
While marketing to a supposedly new demographic might help sales, we at Feministing once again suggest not making cheap-ass underwear that falls apart after two washes.
