One man, one desire
Michael Bay, the typically over the top director whose filmic style is probably best described as oversexed soap-operatic with explosions has taken it to a new level of cheese with his new Victoria’s Secret commercial, tongue and cheekily (we hope) referencing the teasing movie trailers he’s so adept at creating.
Whatever the direction of his oeuvre, Bay has stated proudly in the past that he makes movies for 15-year-old boys. So this effort filed with scantily-clad vixens, jerky camera movements and a few gratuitous pyrotechnical displays should certainly impress the fan-base.
How things have changed in the world of underwear advertising (speaking of which, cricketer Mitchell Johnson has been signed up by Jockey to be Australia’s grut-wearing version of Dan Carter).

Someone should tell those children to put their clothes back on. Their mothers will be horrified.

Is it cheese or cheesecake? Whatever it is it still appeals to Boomers. Ben may not have grown up in the age of Hefner, but Michael Bay's approach nails it for those of us who are 4X15-year olds!
