I love the way it constantly pushes the boundaries

The nature of good advertising is to not re hash ideas,but to b original and show a different way of thinking, eg honda ads,anything by b.b.h.

there isn't one great form of art.. The thing that makes art great is passion, heart and soul, so no it isn't the greatest persay, but is great if the person is useing heart, passion, soul..
and of course connection

No. Many years ago while studying art history, I came across a quote from Marshall McLuhan stating that "Advertising is the cave painting of the 20th century." I fell for it, applied to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and became an art director in advertising. I can tell you first hand that advertising is one of the most derivative "art forms" out there. Presentations to clients are peppered with phrases like "You know, it's like the scene in the movie yahdedah, with music like soandso." You know the travelocity gnome? Check out the movie "Amalie" or the old Nike commercials with runners shot against old brick walls, "Cinema Paradiso." Chances are any "great" ad you've seen, has been copied from something else. Ad people are basically hipsters who have seen the edgier films or heard the off the beaten track music before anyone else, and then franchise it for some corporation to call their own.

Art has no other purpose than to be art and enrich the cultural experience of the recipient! Advertising seeks to manipulate for it's own selfish ends therefore great, art and advertising conspire to create a redundant sentence!

It's certainly the greatest ripoff of art.
Anything you see that seems to be pushing the boundaries has almost certainly been done somewhere before by a true artist who doesn't have a multi-million dollar budget behind them.
Advertising then steals the idea, sanitises it and uses it to sell toothpaste.

Well you can't compare arts due to the fact that the only thing that limits you is your imagination. As a result you can't imagine which art is better if there is one.
