They messed up. Everybody knows the proper woman:man ratio is 2, not .5.

Bit too racy for public consumption IMO.

Another example of the decline of society.

Has nobody seen the Calvin Klein ads (and other trendy designers as well) for like the last 10 or 15 years? There have been half naked (yes exposed) women as well as damn near naked men in ads between the covers of Marie Claire magazine, GQ, even RedBook and many others going back quite a while. Tommy Hilfiger has been known to depict numerous people in suggested sexual situations quite frequently as well. The decline of society is not a recent thing. It has been eroding itself for my entire lifetime. Is this image a little too much? Probably. Is it any worse than the images that have led the ad people to push it to this point? IMO no. YMMV

We used to service Abercrombie & Fitch. I hated going to that child pornography center disguised as a clothing store.

My thought exactly!!!!

It's not about right or wrong, or what they'll get in trouble for, it's about, when the dust settles, will I have more money and business regardless of what it cost along the way.

We "can" do anything; we "should" do what we decide for ourselves is for the better. Some don't have the self control to do what's right, or rather, not do what's not right.

I bet y'all wouldn't be bashing that billboard if it was two girls and one guy.

So what! I don't now or in the future have any desire to purchase anything labeled Calvin Klein. Fact is a certain percentage of people are into threesomes, just as a percentage are queer. From the looks of the ad it appears to be two gays with a hot chick thrown in as to not scare off closet cases from buying Calvin Klein's products.

+1

Decent people trying to raise decent kids would agree.

 

[Texas42]

I'm gonna have no where to shop at the rate of society's decent.

I think the entire sexual appeal thing is overrated anyways. It has appeal because of the sheltered lifestyle of Americans. Hiding sex from your kids is as effective as hiding alcohol from them. It's an issue that should be addressed, although having it rammed down society's throat is another issue.

This is just another remnant of the Puritan lifestyle.

Gotta agree with ya there.....this one with one guy's head in another guy's lap, well....:1zhelp:

And it will stay that way til my turds turn 18.

The billboard pic has been replaced with a pic of a girl in a bikini.

Good call on somebody's part.....

It's marketing 101. I'm sure they knew it would stir up a storm, create millions of dollars of free publicity, and therefore be successful. We wouldn't be discussing CK if this were not true.

It was sleazy but highly successful in doing what they set out to do.

 

[DCortez]

Can't wait to see a Schlitz Malt Liquor commercial on Sesame Street.


On a side note, does anyone on the board buy CK products? Here, if it doesn't say Levi or Fruit of the Loom, it's not worn often.

 

[M. Sage]

Levis is just as bad. They help bankroll anti-gun stuff through an organization called PAX - an ironically named organization for Firefly/Serenity fans.

Wrangler, Lee, and those Rocky Mountain thingies don't wear well on me.
