Controversial advertising is the hot topic this week. See what others have to say about Michael Vick, L'Oreal and Intel and be sure to tell everyone what you think:

  • "Ads always make false promises and product claims. You never know when something actually delivers what the company is claiming!" -Mona on L'Oreal Commercial Banned Over Fake Eyelashes
