Calvin's orgy ad causes predictable scandal
Calvin Klein doing something risque? I know you're all shocked. But an enormous billboard in New York's SoHo district, which has been up for a month, has people talking again. The controversy concerns a topless young girl lying on top of a bare-chested dude while kissing another dude—total threeway, unless you count the guy lying in the foreground, who obviously passed out before things got really good. I maintain that CK is actually giving SoHo its first relevant PSA: Don't party too hard, or you'll miss out on the group sex. You'd think that after all CK has done in the past people would just go, "That's Calvin for ya, always racy!" and look the other way. But the coverage by CBS's Early Show (with a cameo by our own Barbara Lippert) proves that prepubescent threesomes never get old. But the best part of the clip is the woman who admits that if that's what the jeans do for you, she'll certainly buy a pair. You've come a long way, baby! —Posted by Rebecca Cullers |

"prepubescent threesomes"? There's nothing prepubescent about anything in this picture that I can see.

Yes, if CK jeans can get me with three hot guys and a hot chick, then yes, I'll buy myself a pair too.

Sounds like the reason we have AIDS.

The guys look gay... You don't think this whole thing was staged do you?

@dirklancer, I know it's against modeling standards, and they are probably shaving it, but it's my humble opinion that grown men should have chest hair. Those sweet faced young boys look prepubescent to me.

^oh you point out the obvious, erotictoys, all models do look the same in fashion ads nowadays.
we've been talking about this ad in my marketing class last week, and the concession by just about all my classmates is that...we don't get the controversy at all, it looks just like any other provocative ad. maybe because we Gen-Y'ers are not easily shock by this kind of thing, or maybe because we're in the west coast full of hot people.

Maybe it's the same guy in three different poses...
