There is a large piece of advertising space on Houston Street in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. For as long as I can remember, that particular wall has been THE place to put your advertisement if you want to ignite controversy. It’s large, it’s in an extremely prominent area, and it does not go unnoticed by anyone. Calvin Klein has put many an ad here and all of them have pissed people off, including his latest, which has some residents crowing about pornography. The ad features Eva Mendes and Frisky Crush Of The Day, Jamie Dornan, posing barely clothed, and she is in the beginning motions of removing his underoos. To be honest, it is sexy, but it’s a lot tamer than some of the ads that have occupied the space, including one which implied a massive orgy! And now I am going to hop on the subway, so I can see Jamie at 1,000 times life size in person. Ciao!

Sometimes it bothers me how puritan this country is

I didn’t notice the ‘raunchy’ aspect, but does anyone else think his leg looks like it’s not attached to the rest of his body?

I think it’s awesome! Gotta love it when the self righteous puritans are offended.

I don’t think it even looks that sexy.. it looks kind of awkward.

Wow, there go those fake puritans again. I see nothing pornographic about this ad. It’s mildly sexy.
