The end of the Victoria’s Secret annual TV special is a vital cultural victory GlobeArts

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.In this Nov. 8, 2018 file photo, models Martha Hunt, Lais Ribeiro, Josephine Skriver, Sara Sampaio, Stella Maxwell and Romee Strijd walk the runway during the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York. Victoria's Secret is cancelling its fashion show after years of declining viewership.In the annals of awful but mystifyingly popular TV rituals, the annualhad no match.

We are witness to a cultural disruption moment. Me, I’d like to think there’s something to relish in the announcement of the cancellation coming on the same day that Fiona Hill, the former U.S. National Security Council official and consummate authority figure, lectured a bunch of mostly male politicians about the uses of “fictional narratives.”Also, for good measure, the announcement comes in the same week that the repulsive Prince Andrew was withdrawn from circulation by his mom, the Queen.

This spectacle would have been comical had it not been both tacky and dangerous. One long-time Victoria’s Secret model, Adriana Lima, told the Daily Telegraph in 2011 that for nine days before the show, she would drink only protein shakes, with absolutely “no solids” in her diet. She even cut down on her intake of water. Last year a writer in The Guardian accurately referred to the annual show as “this circus of competitive anorexia.

Besides, about 50 of the company’s stores closed in the United States this year and about 30 last year. You could argue this is all about a shift to online shopping, yet it seems more plausible that the company is simply out of date, out of touch and obsolescent.first aired in 2001 on ABC. A flurry of complaints went to the Federal Communications Commission about its alleged “indecency,” and the National Organization for Women called the special a “soft-core porn infomercial.

GlobeArts Vital?

GlobeArts So are they gonna cancel body building competitions for men next since it makes me feel inadequate? Pssh..

GlobeArts Ugly women everywhere rejoice!

GlobeArts These women are finally able to EAT !!!

GlobeArts Cultural victory for ugly feminists and Islam

GlobeArts No it’s not. It’s a victory for puritanical weirdos

GlobeArts Yes, let's celebrate the loss of jobs for everyone involved in the production. How typical of the left.

GlobeArts Ratings tanked years ago... so um ya...

GlobeArts First Don Cherry and now this .... can you say 'bad week'?

GlobeArts The hard left feminist snowflake crowd will be ecstatic. They have a very hard time dealing with attractive women.

GlobeArts For whom?

GlobeArts So the male version of the Victoria catwalk show is at risk now?

GlobeArts Some companies are cowards for not standing up to the left wing nuts.

GlobeArts They pulled the plug instead of letting fat women and transgenders take part. The left ruins everything.

GlobeArts I choose her. P.S. It’s not a cultural victory. It’s a travesty.

GlobeArts Ridiculous.

GlobeArts Burkinis coming soon

GlobeArts Its all about ratings.

GlobeArts Applauding women losing their jobs to appeal to.....who exactly?

GlobeArts VICTORY!!! 😂😂😂😂

GlobeArts Wouldn’t the cultural victory come by airing it and then announcing that it will be cancelled going forward due to a lack of viewers (if that was the case)? That would truly be society making a statement, this is just a corporate reaction to cancel culture.

GlobeArts My fantasy is to go down on 50 Victoria Secret women. Am I wrong?

GlobeArts For men, there is no victory here. Long live smokin’ hot women.

GlobeArts Yes, the elimination of a series of jobs that were well-paid and held a high level of regard within the industry is fantastic. This is like the elimination of 'grid girls' from F1 racing; those women loved their work and resented losing their jobs because of activists.

GlobeArts Translation: globe and mail homely girls now feel better about themselves.

GlobeArts Mmmm is ok

GlobeArts victory for who exactly where else can i see hot women in next to no clothes
