Calvin Klein, Inc. Complaint - Pornography - advertisement

advertisement - Complaint
Review by mib on 2009-06-24
I had the most unfortunate luck to view one of your ads. I am firmly committed to never purchase any product with the Calvin Kline label ever again.
You have become utterly depraved. How dare you show 3 young men and a woman in such a composition.
I am asking you what will you do next to sell some denim clothes. On the road to hell will you next include younger children etc. There really is obviously no bottom to your judgment. No wonder so many of our teens are depressed.
Good luck, you need it, the road to hell is wide and you are on it.

Do you know what pornography is?
Posted by PepperElf on 2009-06-24:
by that mentality Maxim magazine would also be xxx
but since there's no genitalia being shown, and sex is only hinted at it's not porn.

take all the models' clothes off and put them into actual sexual positions... then there'd be a case to call it porn

right now it's just suggestive.

Some might call it art.

or advertising.
Posted by MRM on 2009-06-24:
Yes, this is a display of art, not pornography.
Posted by PepperElf on 2009-06-24:
actually ... art sometimes shows even more nakedness.

Look at the statue of David - Michelangelo didn't leave any detail out, right down to a bit of hair above David's genitals.

Or Vigeland Park in Oslo - every single statue there is nude.

Nudity and art have been together for centuries.

I think the OP was born sometime around the 1850's. Showing any sign of skin is punishable by a stint in the brothel. It's the closed mentality of not being able to accept change that drives me nuts. Perhaps the OP should ummmmmmmm, look away. Maybe not. It is rather difficult to stop looking at it and being envious of such a lucid display. These people remind me of the mother in "Waterboy."

Back in the days when showing some ankle was scandalous

True goduke.

Its a big of a strech to call this art. Its just a bunch of teenagers with their clothes half off grinding on each other. That's my take.

The statue of David is art...this, sells jeans.

Ms Bean, I hope you had a nice beauty rest last night and I hope that you will have a fine Wednesday morning!

You are a peach of a person and I'm feeling very chipper and refreshed! Hope you have a glorious Wed. as well! And don't get too hot out there.

Hahaha edited by me, because I misread Mario's post to read 1950's instead of 1850's. :D

Boy he got an earful..and now I'm erasing it.
