We have no idea what id-git at Calvin Klein decided to put that picture up on a billboard in SoHo, but we’re guessing it was somebody close to the CK public relations hack who insisted that the advertisement “speaks to our targeted demographic.”
Uhhh … so what exactly is your targeted demographic?
Barely-pubescent teen girls who get their jollies letting gay men “experiment” with heterosexuality?
From the NY Daily News (a popular news outlet around here today for some reason):
A steamy Calvin Klein billboard that seems to show a teenage girl in a threesome – with suggestions of a foursome – is raising eyebrows and ire.
Passersby can’t miss the massive, sexually charged ad on a building at Lafayette and Houston Sts. in SoHo, and they can’t believe their eyes.
“It’s borderline pornographic,” said neighborhood resident Lisa Marchese, 36, a marketing specialist who was disturbed by the youthfulness of the models.
“They all look so young, particularly the girl. And to portray them in a threesome – it’s just taking it too far.”
The ad depicts a topless young woman lying on top of a barechested boy while kissing a second shirtless male.
They’re on a sofa, and below them a third male – pants and shirt unbuttoned – is lying on the floor.
What?
Oh wait … never mind … we just figured it out … here’s the “targeted market.”
