Another ad was rejected in 2010:

Their message is pretty clear: Victoria's Secret skinny girl lingerie - Okay!  Plus size lingerie - Definitely not!

This is bullshit.  Now where can I go protest?

Well, at the moment underweight models are still popular thus giving more money.

I think they did a mistake as in the next 5-10 years you'll see a lot more plus size models and it's an already juicy ($$$) sector growing at a nice rate.

They asked them to do a minor edit apparently.

 

The breastfeeding shot, is kinda random and not really necessary to be honest - don't know if that's what they wanted edited though.

The channel can accept and reject what they want. You, the viewer, decide if that company's advertising campaign was worth it.

I support protest in this instance; a suggestion of protest is not to watch or support that broadcasting company.

I have been actively protesting all the television broadcast companies for over 15 years now... 

I haven't watched tv for a loooooong time.

I have to agree.  It is totally natural and it isn't a huge deal, but it wasn't a selling point, thus not necessary in this campaign.
