The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is one of the most anticipated luxury fashion events in history. Anyone who can appreciate leggy models, embellished bikinis, and sophisticated lingerie all in the same setting looks forward to this runway show every year. Though it won't be broadcast until early next month, the 2012 show took place last week, and Victoria's Secret is already in trouble for using one particular prop.

It was a Native American headdress worn by supermodel Karlie Kloss that sparked outrage from viewers, leading to issued apologies from both the label and Kloss via social media expressing their regret for offending anyone. Furthermore, Victoria's Secret has promised to remove the footage from its upcoming broadcast on December 4 on CBS. The controversy comes just days after ska band No Doubt removed its newest music video off YouTube, which got backlash from the Native American community who said the band's cowboys-and Indians imagery mocked their culture.

How can anyone look at that extremely attractive woman and be offended? Obviously they weren't "offended", that's impossible. Rather, it's a power play. They are throwing an attractive woman into the volcano without a single thought to how it might hurt her. Victoria's Secret provides clothing that is used to bring loving couples together. That's it. Nothing more.

Maybe native Americans should try being flattered that their headress was even used... Get over yourself indans. You can't change your history

That costume is beautiful! As for the Native Americans complaint, it is another of several asinine complaints from many clowns. Instead of acting insulted, the Native Americans should look at the beauty involved. There is in no way anything to depict any degradation of them. Instead, they should be proud of Victorias Secret for showing it in beauty and class. I am sorry, but, I don't see any depiction of degradation of their culture. I see the exact opposite.
