I would have went to see Santa for this!!!

Hot-Pink Thong Bothers Families Visiting Santa

ROANOKE, Va. -- Santa is keeping a secret -- a Victoria's Secret.

Some parents didn't like the idea of the young'uns seeing the skimpy underthings while visiting a mall Santa in Virginia. Now, there's a black curtain between Santa's chair and the Victoria's Secret store at the Valley View Mall in the Roanoke area.

Victoria's Secret has been featuring a window showing a leggy mannequin in a hot-pink thong and a bra. The theme of the display is "Give Me Sexy."

Mall spokeswoman Mandy York said they have no control over what Victoria's Secret puts in their window. But she said the black curtain seems to have satisfied the concerns of parents.
