A raunchy Calvin Klein billboard depicting a teenage girl in a threesome has come under fire for being 'borderline pornographic'. Passers-by have expressed their fury at the massive, sexually suggestive ad on a building at Lafayette and Houston Sts. in SoHo.The endorsement shows a topless young woman on top of a bare chested lad, while engaged in a lip lock with a second shirtless male on a sofa.
A third male with unbuttoned pants and shirt can be seen lying on the floor below the pair, with suggestions of a foursome."It's borderline pornographic," the New York Daily News quoted neighbourhood resident Lisa Marchese, a marketing specialist, as saying."They all look so young, particularly the girl. And to portray them in a threesome - it's just taking it too far," she added. Murray Hill resident Alicia Shay, who sells jeans for a living, added: "It's pretty provocative.
Just the positioning of them all - she's kissing him, the other guy has his hands down her pants, they're all misty even. It''s really inappropriate."A Calvin Klein spokesman denied the claims, saying that the "intention was to create a very Sexy campaign that speaks to our targeted demographic."
