Contact McDonalds – urge them not to sponsor VS Fashion Show

By: American Decency Staff

From our commentary on last years Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. " … And while the women paraded in the skimpy angel motif lingerie, a robed-choir, seemingly a church choir, sang about 'love and peace'. The culmination of the show was an angel descending as if from heaven. …"Advertisers for that pornographic event included: McDonalds Dell computers Circuit City Unilever (Vaseline and Sunsilk hair products) Last year at this time we urged you to contact the advertisers from last year's Victoria's Secret show, urging them not to advertise. We are pleased that from that list – other than movie companies, only McDonald's returned to advertise once again. We heard from some of you that you were very disappointed in McDonald's response when you contacted them. McDonald's must hear from us! A company that generates millions of dollars from families through Happy Meals sponsors the destructive pornography of Victoria's Secret.
