GILBERT, Ariz., Oct. 30 Shoppers at an outdoor mall in Arizona say that posters celebrating the opening of a Victoria's Secret store do not leave enough to the imagination.

The large posters show shapely models wearing Victoria's Secret underwear. The store is located in SanTan Village in Gilbert, Ariz., a town that prides itself on its "family friendly" atmosphere, The Arizona Republic reported.

"It was just very upsetting to us," said Michelle Bentley of Gilbert who visited the mall last week with her husband and their two young children.

Some shoppers complained that the posters are "soft porn."

The store manager refused to comment referring all queries to Victoria's Secret headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, the newspaper reported.

We all know that vs models are nothing like swimsuit models. Teenagers don't take Target swimsuit ads into the bathroom. "prudishness" may be the only thing keeping the US from complete moral degredation.

Those posters are probably in the top 5 good things about that mall. Most of the complainers probably haven't seen the inside of a gym in years.


Get over your prudishness.
