Calvin Klein Orgy Billboard Takedown

Looks like Calvin Klein succumbed to the prudes in SoHo who just couldn't handle an all-American denim-clad orgy billboard. The Daily News reports that the ad has now been replaced with one featuring a female, alone, in her soaking wet string bikini. Even though a lot more skin is being shown (and there are no jeans in sight!), some locals like the change. One old maid said, "The old one bothered people. It was a little too explicit with the threesome. You didn't even notice the jeans as much as what was going on with the people." Yes, in this new one onlookers will clearly only notice the product, and not that lady wearing it.

The billboard space has housed many other salacious scenarios in the past (pictured!), though allegedly they were all more acceptable to the masses. Is New York City the new Elmore City, Oklahoma? Italy, France, Spain and Germany are all okay with the foursome and they're airing this commercial, uncensored. And you don't even want to know about the print ads they have for Burger King in Saigon. (Or do you?)

Wasn't the CK ad actually a foursome, with one gentleman taking a break before jumping back in?

Orgy! Orgy! Orgy!

This Ad is offensive to women and homosexual males.

More threesomes please.

Hey, I never saw the last one! Well, it's nice to see the red bikini every day coming out of the subway...

Holy moly. That red bikini chick is so much hotter than that other gay billboard was.

Spirit of 76

Hell, yeah! And best of all, no silicone in sight.

One thing is consistent with these ads : they're all boring.

True, the CK girls are beautiful but so boring but not Eva Mendes, she is hot.

I'd rather look at an orgy than at THOSE HIDEOUS ACES ADS on Gothamist. Yuck! Please! I am making those same faces now. Please make it stop!

Win Restaurant Supplies is the really winner here. Not only am I wearing six pairs of Calvin Klein jeans right now but I'm also enjoying my new vegetable steamer, wok, and oven exhaust hood tremendously.
