Calvin Klein has a new racy billboard on Houston Street, but according to Stylelist, the company has censored their own campaign this time around. So prudes, just don't aim your smartphone in its direction and you'll remain pure.

Here's the deal: "Using QR technology, Calvin Klein's billboards in New York City (on Houston and Lafayette streets as well as West 20th Street and Tenth Avenue) feature red and white ads containing codes that can be read with one's cell phone to unlock the racy content, which, in this case, is a 40-second, uncensored commercial featuring model Lara Stone and a quartet of male models." You heard right, free porn on Houston and West 20th Streets! Not that that's really a new thing.

Still, get there before tomorrow if you're curious... the billboards will come down on the 15th. And don't forget to share with us @Gothamist (you can share via Twitter once unlocked). [via Racked]

    Nerds wear Calvin Klein? Eh, we'll just wait for the person who made the ad to throw it online.

  • really??

    That ad sucks. Models kissing and rolling against a chain-link fence while cheesy meathead guitar rock plays in the background. Unimaginative bullshit.

    Do you like my legs?

  • bleeckerite

    I miss those ads.

  • Cannibal

    So Calvin Klein only wants people with expensive phones to read their ads? What irony considering the clothes are produced in 3rd world countries.

    Can your smartphone tell you what finger I'm holding up?
