The one I dislike most is any commercial for Beneful dog food as that stuff is garbage and it really irritates me that they advertise it like it is the best thing you could ever give your dog.
I like the one with the baby substituting for a car. I'm not 'into' babies, but that baby is really cute. I think they aren't as good this year but Target used to have some really great ads. I like the pig ... he is really funny.
Oh, maybe my favorite is the insurance one with the burglers in the house and the Ninja-like girl sneaking behind them and replacing everything they steal. I think that is an inspired commercial.
If you use the definitions of soft core/hard core porn, VS ads are soft core. Nothing opinion on that. Granted, VS ads offend me for their hideous sizing methods and refusal to actually fit bras properly (I'm a 36DD to them, I measure in at 30GG/H and that's what I commonly wear). But they are selling bedroom bras (aka they are meant to look pretty on the bedroom floor, not for actual support during the day) so the ads are going to run that direction. Meh.
MTV is tame to what's on Spike/Cartoon Network. And that can be pretty tame vs what's on some European television to some degree, but it's far worse in other degrees.
Agree fully on about any of the pet food ads! Ugh, may as well feed your pets cardboard boxes.
