Another Racy Calvin Klein Billboard Causes Stir in SoHo
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Calvin Klein is at it yet again! Another sexy -- almost too sexy -- SoHo billboard has some New Yorkers seeing red over it's not so subtle sexual innuendo.
Alice Stockton-Rossini reports
The underwear ad shows actress Eva Mendes in sheer lingerie tugging at a male model's boxer briefs. Both are covered in sweat.
The billboard -- located at Houston and Lafayette streets -- is in the same spot where the infamous Calvin Klein "threesome" ad was featured before it was pulled due to complaints.
The June ad depicted a young-looking topless girl and two men in what could only be described as a threesome. A third guy was seen lying on the ground below them with his shirt off and his pants unbuttoned.
The company pulled the ad after widespread complaints including some from a Christian Advocacy group.
The Mendes ad had drawn mixed reviews from people in the area.
"As much as I love advertising, it's gonna cause an accident. It's just right over the top," Carols Manuel, tells WPIX.
