Nowadays, children don’t have to sneak into X-rated theaters anymore (like my brothers and I did when we were kids living in Miami) — the pr0n is everywhere!
Calvin Klein has done it again. The designer has managed to offend even hardened New Yorkers with his latest raunchy soft core pr0n billboard.
The billboard features four partially clad adults — one woman and 3 men — engaged in an orgy. It sits smack in the middle of SoHo, an upscale area of NYC populated by trendy boutiques. Anyone can see the billboard, including young children.
Where are the protests? Does the residents of New York City have no shame? I couldn’t imagine seeing anything this inappropriate — so out in the open — when I was a kid!
Barbara Lippert, Ad Critic for Adweek Media Magazine, called Klein’s newest ad a “desperate act.” But Klein, 66, has been called desperate before.
From CBS TV:
“I think he really wants to get back into the ballpark because he doesn’t seem relevant anymore,” Lippert said.
“The worst thing would be to get no attention at all. So if you need to throw in another two or three dudes to get that attention so people will say, ‘what’ and really give it a second look, he’ll do that.” READ MORE…
SEE another racy Calvin Klein billboard after the break…
Eww, nothing remotely okay with this Ad…
Morning!
Hmmm, interesting.
Sandra when you were a kid the automobile hadnt been invented yet
Sandra i know you got my tweet, post it on the throwback day
I get so lonely

my dear
Well wait one cotton picking minute now! We aint all ATLiens lol.
Must admit, it is racy. It also needs to be featured on PhotoshopDisasters.
Wqhat is that ho in the top pic doing…… she look a mess

It sits smack in the middle of SoHo, a seedy area of NYC populated by sex shops
When was the last time you been to NYC Sandra? SoHo is one of the upscale NYC neighborhoods. Many celebs live and shop there
looks like one of those Amercrombie&Fitch ads.
@ naima
I was thinking the same thing. I couldn’t tell u the last time i saw a sex shop in soho. Didn’t Guilani just them things down.
Soho is really a place for those who luv fashion and can afford alot of the stores. Even those i consider it fashion central (one of the many), the first billboard is just over board to me….the second looks like all his otha ads, There are alot of teenager walking around that neighborhood, its disgusting to me.
CK has always had racy ads in my opinion. Nothing new…

Lol, when my mom was a kid the automobile had not been invented yet. She said the first time she saw a car rumble down the dusty road, she ran screaming into the house.
Those ads don’t make me want to buy anything…isn’t that the purpose of marketing, to make you want the product….or am I too far out of college? It’s like the smoking billboards….are there people out there who see those and think smoking is cool…then start smoking?
No more than you see on any of these “teen shows”.
I’m from The Bronx but live in Columbus due to the military. I have to say this is no different than seeing Lil’Kim some years ago spread eagle on a billboard. Don’t put us all in the same category. It wasn’t okay with my little girl seeing it then and it’s not okay now. I just cover her eyes and keep it movin.
Cute story about your mom. But I thought the car was invented in the early 1900’s. I will google it. Were you a change of life baby?
This billboard doesn’t bother me at all. Guess I’m a New Yorker @ heart.
file this under the “who cares” section….
Calvin Klein is a child molester. His azz should have been arrested a long time ago. Remember the Brook Shield Calvin Klein ads from back in the day. Nothing comes between me and my calvins. Where’s PETA when you need them?? Oh, that’s right they don’t give a flying f*&$ about human beings, let alone children. SMH
actually most of my family does live in NY and being native it doesn’t shock me however it certainly doesn’t impress me nor even catch my eye to the jeans as another person commented. Overly sexual ads are just so played out.
@ attnymom Why would Peta be involved in protesting sexual ads?
I would be horribly offended by the ad. This type of advertising is only helping ruin the youth of America. Sex is constantly being shoved down their throats. It’s EVERYWHERE.
@ wiggy I think she means they’re fighting the wrong fight.
oh I get it thanks miamore
Okay, I checked & it said btw 1908 & 1915 assembly cars hit the road. Sandra, I guess I assumed you were in you’re early 40’s good black don’t crack, huh.
& I would assume most children who can affected by this ad is too little to look up & see it. IDK
this is typical of nyc ads. its made to cause talk. outrage, and chatter so u will go to the web site or the store. the marketing team has done their job and will be rewarded with a bonus.
@ Wiggy, I was being facetious. I guess it did not work.
Sidebar: Enjoying my day off from work with Mr. Attorneymom. I just put his azz to sleep if you know what I mean. LOL. Zane does not have anything on me. LOL
@Attymom you said sliding down a pole for my husband (when I get one) was porn but you read Zane which is nothing but porn..lol I read it as well so I know what I am talking about. Has her shows started on HBO/Cinemax yet?
attnymom no I think i’m just slow today in the middle of a lupus spell, what you meant was they’re worried bout the wrong damn thing right?
@ Daisy, I was being funny with the Zane comment. I hate Zane books. They are a little to explicit for me. I don’t do porn. It is too degrading to women and animalistic for my taste. I don’t have a problem in the sex department. I just do what is natural. My sexuality is not tainted by porn flicks.
Sidebar: Mr. Attorneymom is still asleep and snoring loudly. I am going to wake his azz up. LOL
As I stated previously, I am not getting my big azz on a pole.
@ Wiggy, you have lupus??
@ Wiggy writes, “what you meant was they’re worried bout the wrong damn thing right?”
*********
Yes, that is what I meant. They care more about animals than human beings.
Sorry to hear that Wiggy (not in a woo is me kind of way) I use to work with and go to school with a woman who had Lupus and I know it is an aggressive disease.
I think she almost died trying to have a baby.
I don’t consider Zane porn but sinced u mentioned it I was going to call u out about it lol I knew u would say u were playing about the pole comment and I don’t think there is anything wrong from getting tips from a friend, book or magazine
thanks’s y’all but I actually have a very mild form of the disease unlike my mother(had a very aggressive cas) who died at 36 from it. I am blessed and it forced me to take care of my self better which we all should do. cough thanks again cough please change the subject

LOL, My mom was a small child in the 1930s. So I guess I should have said the first time she saw a car in Jamaica where she was born.
@Wiggy I have a gfriend who has Lupus she is in her 40s and only has a spell every blue moon thank the Lord. I hope you feel better.
