You'll be happy to learn that


It's safe for Christians to return to the mall:

Victoria's Secret won back some upset shoppers by swapping out what some thought were too sexy window displays for more-modest apparel....

''They listened to us,'' said Jennifer Chunn, astonished to have her calls returned by Anthony Hebron, spokesman for Victoria's Secret's parent company, Limited Brands in Columbus, Ohio.

''I explained to him, 'This is the Bible Belt — it's not Hollywood or Manhattan,' '' Chunn said. ''They listened to us, and they worked with the community.''

This is a relief to many parents, who have been afraid to take their kids out to shop:

Franklin resident Barbara Mahy was ready to test the waters after learning that the mannequins had been redressed. She has avoided the mall since early August, when a friend tipped her off about the naughty negligees....

''I know [my 3 year old twins have] been wanting to go to the mall. It's just been easier not to go.

Thank goodness, the children are safe from the underwear (and exposed mannequin skin) again, and shopping may resume!
