It was a very bad limerick. To wit:
There once was an angel so fairWhen I got to LitCrit today, what do you suppose the topic of conversation was as Prof K began class? That's right, the rhyming angel of Victoria's Secret.
Whose bra was lighter than air
The reason you see
And it's no mystery
Her bra cups were made out of air
I suppose I should just be grateful that the good folks at Victoria's Secret were inspired by Going40's recent limerick contest. Their contribution was late, so ineligible for prizes. But don't worry, fair readers: you've all got them beat.

You promised there'd be no more mention of limericks. You promised...
proof that the expressive power of the limerick cannot be stifled.
Here's another VS limerick. (Too bad, Swen!) Did the writer for this one really think "now" rhymed with "bra"? "Brow"?
There was a young angel with wings
Who could fly without wires or strings
She put on this bra,
Said I’m going out now,
No wires, no worries, just wings.
Within a half hour of reading Going40's VS limerick posting, I saw the very commercial in question...
May I add to the ridicule of limerick #2 that rhyming "wings" with "wings" is rather weak?
Sadly, the ed exec writing these verses probably makes , what, four times as much as I do?
