Halloween Takeover of Mall of America's Victoria's Secret
author: Catalogs Without Clearcuts
Protesters stormed the Victoria Secret in Minneapolis's Mall of America around 1 pm October 31st. The activists upon entering the store stripped down to lingerie and night gowns announcing their presence with a cheers with the intention of informing the shoppers of VS's tremendous contribution to forest destuction. Within minutes they were kicked out of the store by employees, but continued the cheers and guerilla theater outside of the store. Activists with cardboard chainsaws pretended to cut down other activists who represented trees. Soon after, mall security arrived and escorted the activists out of the mall.

Not only are VS's catalogs non-recycled, they are primarily sourced from Northern Canada's boreal wilderness, the largest intact wildlands in North America. Amongst grizzly bears and herds of caribou, hundreds of rare migratory birds make the Boreal their home. With over 395 million catalogs published annually, VS is one of the leading contributors to forest destruction in the world. To voice your complaints and ask to be taken off the VS mailing list, call 1-800-888-8200.

consider itn done. >:(

#8  Didn't they leave out the part where the VS catalog models staged a counter-attack, charging into the mass of activist-trees with credit cards at the ready?

No? Sorry, it the imagination, y'know, sometimes it goes...well, a little funny in the head.

C'mon, assholes. If you're gonna take a stand, have the balls to take a stand! None of this fake chainsaw bullshit! Break out the Huskies and go to town on each other!

#5  "Activists" and "Lingerie" in the same sentence?
Reboot that mental image...

#4  Who pays the activists? They sound like my olde Berkeley hippie buddies of yore that lived off their parents until Mom and Dad got pissed off, then they found a job because altruism and poverty sucked.

#2  "Activists", eh? This can't be for real. Sounds like an inside job to boost VS sales prior to the pre-Christmas rush.

#1  Have you ever noticed that far leftist activists seem to be against everything that's pleasurable in life? What's that about?
