Offensive Ads Check out some ads that really push the public limits -- from sex, to the treatment of women and children. This is a collection from MediaWatch. Some really offensive ads:
  • Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)'s Ads against animal abuse -- featuring half-naked to naked women, porn starts, and even real women wearing only a bikini bottom in cages in Times Square.
