Victoria's Secret Under Fire Over New Bikini DesignThai government officials have criticized major lingerie retailer Victoria's Secret over a new bikini design featuring images of Buddha.
The swimsuit, which pictures a seated Buddha on the breast areas of the halter, "is a major insult to Buddhism," the deputy chief of national police General Amnuay Phetsiri said.
While Victoria's Secret does not have any outlets or distribution of its products in Thailand, Amnuay said police were looking at the legality of preventing importation of the swimsuit by businesses and individuals.
Meanwhile, Thailand's Foreign Ministry has also asked its embassy in the United States to appeal to Victoria's Secret to immediately halt sales of the garment, ministry spokesman Sihasak Phuangketkeow said.
