Lingerie show cancelled

US lingerie retailer Victoria's Secret has scrapped its annual televised fashion show, featuring scantily clad supermodels, in the wake of Janet Jackson's bare-breased scandal.

Limited Brands, which owns the lingerie chain, decided to cancel several weeks ago after Janet's breast was revealed to 100 million Americans watching the Superbowl's half time show on February 1.

Women's and parents' groups have criticised the show in the past but in 2002 the Federal Communications Commission ruled that it did not violate indecency laws.
