You are correct, gay men wouldn't rather be interested in the lady.

And you're right on the adjectives. :-)

I also just came from GD where there's a big argument about political correctness...

Actually, gay men and hetero women might give the most unbiased answers since the advert doesn't affect them the way it does toward hetero men and lesbian women. (and bis of either flavor) And while many hetero men and lesbian women would still say the lady, uh, distracts from the item for sale, they'd still be drooling.

I've never understood why a person would buy something just because a glamour model happened to be holding it. That isn't logical. For example: "That hot chick is standing in front of a car! I'm going to buy the car!" or "Hey look, that Greek god over there with a bowling ball sized basket is selling this can of earwig excrement. Let's buy 50 pounds of it just because he's good looking with a Guinness-worthy package!"

Of course, if Michael Moore posed on the set of his movie F911, I'd probably go see it because I know what he's about. He's a cutie but I know that if I see the movie, he's not going to sleep with me - yet alone even know I exist except as a statistic. :-)
