Ad Nut: Your weekly worldwide ad bonanza (sexy edition)

Ad Nut gathers ads from anywhere about anything (as opposed to the editors here, who only devote their oh-so-precious time to campaigns that have something to do with Asia-Pacific. Once a week, Ad Nut presents the latest collection here for your viewing pleasure, without much comment, because Ad Nut is just a woodland rodent, after all.
