Victoria’s Secret display dirtying the malls – June 2010

By: American Decency Staff

Victoria’s Secret display at Rivertown Crossings Mall in Grandville, MI (a General Growth Property – second largest renter of mall space in America) June 9, 2010 I'm a realist. We can't go back, but that doesn't mean that we can't go against the tide either.  "I will place no evil thing before my eyes" is wisdom. It is Truth from Psalm 101:3a. What we allow in our homes, on our television screens, on our computers, in our malls does impact – either negatively or positively. *** Comments from Robert Bork "… Much of the general public must be brought back to the virtues we practiced not long ago.  Many Americans, after all, have grown up and lived in a powerfully corrupting culture for many years. We must, then, take seriously the possibility that perhaps nothing will be done to reverse the direction of our culture, that the degeneracy we see about us will only become worse. …" [Taken from  Slouching Towards Gomorrah, Robert H.

We cherish our youth. We work hard to provide good examples, attempting to teach them to discern between good and bad – right and wrong – decent and indecent. We are alarmed, undermined, and upset when we take our family to the local mall and are confronted with aggressive sexual advertising on Victoria's Secret window and wall displays. Your public advertisements continue to be offensive. I urge you to discontinue your use of erotic, pornographic wall and window displays in mall stores, in your publications, and television ads.
