Sex and Boobs Are Back in Commercials This Week

Recently, it seems the ad industry has gone all puritanical after the Miller Lite Catfight spots and successive imitators ended their runs. But, the industry being what it is, that little hiatus didn’t last very long. In this week’s Ad Age TV Spots of the Week, the sex and boobs are back. The sex is back with Beyonce waddling her big ol booty (and damn, it’s definitely a nice one) in front of a drooling gas station attendant for Pepsi. And the boobs are back with a teenager cleaning her hands in a way that intrigues her date’s parents as they com ein the house. Oh, and let’s not forget the grand daddy of it all. Hugh Hefner and a couple of bunnies tell skater dude to get out of the pool in a spot for the X Games.

And the other spots this week? I never got to them. Too busy with Beyonce. You let me know how they are.
