Michael Bay's New Victoria's Secret Ad Is Sensual and Strangely ... Understated

Watching the first half of Michael Bay’s yearly holiday “Victoria’s Secret” ad, I felt as though he were building toward a climax, a huge finale of explosions and fireworks and buildings crumbling and dove exploding mid-air. But it never happens: Bay plays it straight with Frank Sinatra’s “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning.” By God, it’s almost sweet.

Isn't having Michael Bay do a Victoria's Secret ad like having Sandusky involved with the Second Mile Club? Think of the models people!

The ad did nothing for me, but models in general haven't done much for me since the peek supermodel days, and I simply don't have the ambition to get excited about somebody who is roughly 20 years younger than me and I have zero chance of dating even if I was in dating age range.

Now get off my lawn.

Meh. IMO, the VS models try WAAAAAAAY too hard to be sexy to be REALLY sexy. Especially when they do that exaggerated catwalk walk thing, where it looks like their hips are going to fly off.

Pass.

They kept running this promo with a woman on NFL games (CBS I think) and it struck me for the first time that a supermodel might actually NOT be attractive.

My world was forever changed that day.

Knowing Michael Bay as we do, I can only assume most of the requisite explosions occurred off-camera.

Play with your hair. Check. Open your mouth. Got it. Now all I need is the colorful underwear.

Sox,

Gisele convinced me of that. Her husband's prettier.

You know that's not Frank Sinatra right?

Needs more Jerry Bruckheimer.

Why does everything Michael Bay does look like he had Bozo the Clown vomit an array of posterized colors? Seriously. He takes pretty girls in cheaply made, overly expensive undies and it looks like I tripped acid in the Andy Warhol section of an art gallery.
