Victoria's Secret Buys First Super Bowl Ad Since 1999

Last week, Fox announced that there was still one Super Bowl commercial spot left for sale. While it is unclear whether Victoria's Secret purchased that coveted final spot, they did announce the purchase of 30 seconds of commercial airtime during the Super Bowl, the first time since 1999 that the retailer has advertised at the big game. The ad will feature Victoria's Secret Angel (professed virgin-until-marriage and Derek Jeter's ex) Adriana Lima.

Read more about the Victoria's secret ad buy here at AdAge or here at Women's Wear Daily.

I guess this signals the end of the neuvo christian era/ 2000-2008...thank god.

... presumably in an effort to capture more of that cross-dressing, bathroom-stall-floor-tapping Right Wing occasional purchaser ...

If Love is Blind. . .why is lingerie so popular?

[clumberfeet]

Isn't 'Victoria's Secret' an oxymoron?

[williamina]

Sorry moonbats.

I prefer T&A to lies.

BOYCOTT VICTORIA SECRET!!!!!!

Did you know that Victoria Secret workers in Jordan work for 14-15 hours a day, seven days a week?

Al overtime is mandatory, managers scream at the "foreign guest" workers to move faster to complete their high production goals. These workers can be slapped, beaten and are often shortchanged on their overtime pay.

They are allowed 3.3 minutes to sew each $14 VS women's bikini for which they are paid FOUR CENTS.

I would write more, but it seems that everytime I try to use space to separate paragraphs, the post shows up as one big giant paragraph making it difficult to read.

But you can write to CEO of Limited Brands to protest the treatment of workers in Jordan:

HuffPo:
Thank you so much for the non-news story complete with the muffy photo. Models are very important to the well being of US "society." We can count on you for at least 3 lame stories per day accompanied by T & A photos. Your contribution to the dumbing down of the country is appreciated.

If it's on Faux I'll never see it.
Note to advertisers:
All radio stations that use Faux Newz radio are deleted from all my radios. Faux TV, FX, Fox Movies, Faux Sports, and Faux Newz are all blocked on my TVs.

I don't lend my eyeballs to Rupert Murdoch.

Wonderful.
There's room for this story but the fact that Benazir Bhutto said in a Nov. 2007 interview with David Frost " Omar Sheikh, the man who murdered Bin Laden"
is nowhere to be seen. No, she didn't say she mispoke.
She said exactly what she said. What's up with THAT ?
These guys are all thugs, constantly killing each other in petty power grabs like Al Capone's gang. I have yet to see a Video of Bin Laden since 9/11 that is credible.
His nose changes size, his beard changes color, & as far as I know there is just as much chance he is dead as he is alive. Democrats want change ?
Start thinking more like Thomas Jefferson and less like Britany Spears.
Can anyone prove Bhutto was wrong and Omar Sheikh didn't kill him ?
Isn't it worth a MENTION in the Press ?
And people are shocked when events like Pearl Harbor and 9/11 happen.
People need to get their heads out of their pants and into their brains.
Homeland Security means we need to start acting like adults,
not pubescent teenagers or silly children believing every word Big Brother says.
