We're sure ad execs have many wonderful talents, but there's one quality we particularly revere -- the ability to connect any product, be it a soft drink or a mop, to the female form.

The approach is obviously a successful one, as there's a constant barrage of ads featuring sexy ladies, who oftentimes are sporting serious boobage. But while sexuality as a sales tool is commonplace, there are certain advertising efforts that push it to the limits.

We've previously featured ads that went over the line, so now we give you ones that barely made the cut. And we mean barely.

Racy Ads

    At first it's just a hand and a mouse, but after a second look, this Playboy ad becomes so much more.

    In perhaps the strangest ad to ever titillate, this TV spot for a Canadian convenience store has two scantily clad lesbians making out at the base of a tree. The tree then interrupts their heavy petting, so they call it a pervert, before hacking it with axes until it spews orange juice into a cup. (We can't make this stuff up.)

    Tom Ford ads never beat around the bush, so to speak, and the only way this one could be less subtle is if they forgot to add the label.

    We would like to visit the country which considers this part of flirting.

    Sexy Advertisements

    Is this some sort of post-feminist feminism? Exploitation maybe? Or just a nice brassiere-enhanced rack? While gawking, we forgot the questions.
