Depends how they're advertised.
From the last thread that popped up, I believe the majority didn't mind advertising if it was used in a realistic fashion.
What's been bugging me in recent games is the overuse of one advertisement throughout the whole game. Axe deodorant comes to mind in being bloody overused in any game I see it advertised in.
(hey there Burnout3 and GuitarHero3)
It should just be there, not in your face every 50 steps in the game.
Variety is needed, as for puki's example, I wouldn't want every drink dispenser to be from Coke just because they don't want other competing drink brands in the game.
Same thing for movies. The only movie I can recall that had a massive load of product placement that actually felt in place had to be Tom Hank's 'The Terminal'.
(actually, that makes me curious how Dead Rising would look like if Capcom decided to bloat it with ads...)
