Victoria's Secret is just another store for teenage girls to shop at. I don't fid their campaign to be offensive at all. The Pink line in which the U of M was a part of wasn't offensive at all. To me, Pink is far more modest than other underwear and body stores. I think that the U was jumping the gun when they backed out of the deal. I absolutely loved the Pink line with Goldy on it. I will deinitely miss it.

Find the best deals on airfares to Melbourne Australia. Virgin Blue and Jetstar off ther most competitiive rates and the can be compared at flight center. If you take the time to shop around good deals can be found with Tiger and Rex also. Qantas is worth throwing into the mix but they don’t compete all that well on price head to head with the budget carriers.

The Airport Hilton is a short walk from the main domestic and international terminals for people needing airport accomodation within walking distance.

After visting the Victoria Secret website and looking at their clothing line for college wear. I think that it is just another way for victoria secret to find profit in selling their product. After being in a few of their stores with my wife, a majority of age groups that were in the store is teens to 20's. So my thought is that its just another angle V.S. is approaching to sell to they're most valued customer.

I say that the U of MN made a wise decision to not participate in the idea. Their incorruptibility doesn't adhere to V.S.'s moral background.

That's because all the girls in Minnesota are either Fat or pregnant and that doesn't fall in line with Victoria Secret's image.

I don't find it demeaning to show the unique female beauty. American society, however, generally sees the VS brand as a representation of "sex" and not female beauty because the general population does not understand or value female beauty. But that's America for you. As genius as the marketing scheme is, I find it disgusting that the marketing of any brand (cough)CocaCola(cough) is allowed to use educational institutions as a means to facilitate promotion in exchange for money and/or funding.

I personally fail to see how Victoria's Secret is demeaning to women. It's entire campaign is that women should feel sexy and be confident. This company is growing outrageously fast, represented completely by women. If anything I think it supports young females, it doesn't degrade them.

Look at previous Victoria's Secret model Tyra Banks, she's based her entire multi-million dollar career on the idea that women have power. On both her talk show and America's Next Top Model she repeatedly reinforces the need for confidence and ambition in women. As well as the fact that plus size women are beautiful, smashing the idea that this part of the fashion world gives young girls an unhealthy idea of attractive body image.

Whoever came up with the idea to combine Victoria's Secret with the nation's leading universities, is a marketing genius. Victoria's Secret is one of our country's largest growing company's. To have the University of Minnesota logo on something so widely distributed can only be seen as a benefit. Perhaps the clothing will even encourage young women to work and apply at some of these prestigious colleges, not just contribute to school spirit.

Come on, even the Ivy league has joined in. I'm going to go buy a sweatshirt.
