I clicked on this link, and I didn't see any of that. Maybe they got complaints and changed it. There are a couple of small pictures of women, but nothing sexy or scantily-clad.

I wouldn't say these ads make me feel uncomfortable, though I do try to avoid this type of imagery... but I think I might be confounded.
I disagree completely. I love these kinds of ads, and I think EVERYTHING should be sold this way, from children's books to diet soda to hemorrhoid cream.
