Calvin Klein stirred up some heavy controversy in New York City when the newest billboard was unveiled – featuring a steamy threesome with an implied orgy if you consider the exhausted-looking young man on the floor.

With the whole concept of sex selling, you’d think we would barely even notice things like this anymore, but enough outraged complaints came through that they ended up pulling the larger-than-life billboard and replacing it with a tamer bikini-clad model on a beach.

BORING.

I can understand that maybe not everyone wants to have to explain to their young children what that first ad is all about, but I’d be lying if I said that the original billboard wasn’t pretty awesome.

Besides, now all those people can explain to their kids that no, they don’t need to look exactly like the girl in the bikini to be appreciated even though that’s what’s splashed all over the media everywhere…
