Victoria's Secret 'Perfect Body' ad under scrutiny for body image message

Thursday, October 30, 2014
Victoria's Secret's "Perfect Body" ad campaign has come under fire, as critics claim it sends an unhealthy and damaging message to women.

The lingerie company says it refers to its "Body by Victoria" line, and is not commenting otherwise.

But some say it's hard not to catch a double meaning.
