Not sure I've seen a "Victoria's Secret billboard" but if it's selling
womans lingerie, then of course in context it should be OK. 

 
Imagine if the default wallpaper was Justin Bieber in a weird
sexist pose, (In our eyes.) but girls croon and salivate all over
it. I don't know about you but I'd be thinking WTF, and deleting it from
my HDD.
