Victoria's Secret wastes trees, among other things.

Duh. They send zillions of catalogs and don't recycle. Bad. [Note that you can request they not send you stuff, but it's irresponsible to put the effort all on the consumer, dude.] They're also a contributor - an iconic one, at that - to the idea that "sexy" and "beautiful" are things that every woman wants/needs to be and that one can buy.

And they're one of few places that make bras to reliably fit me. I hate that.

in the interest of fairness...

coke is baaaaad.

Also, apparently Coca Cola isn't a very nice company. And Coke's not good for you. Diet Coke, either. Told you so.
