Gender Stereotyping in Ads

After watching Killing Us Softly, a short talk on how advertising dehumanizes and objectifies women, I've become hypersensitive towards ads.  I can't watch an ad without trying to decipher the villainous intent behind any sort of ad.  I mean, they have a point, I know, but at the same time I think a lot of the more subtle stuff was a little too read into.
Obviously a Beer commercial, right?  What do you mean you don't see it?
