A steamy Calvin Klein billboard that seems to show a teenage girl in a threesome - with suggestions of a foursome - is raising eyebrows and ire.
Passersby can't miss the massive, sexually charged ad on a building at Lafayette and Houston Sts. in SoHo, and they can't believe their eyes.
"It's borderline pornographic," said neighborhood resident Lisa Marchese, 36, a marketing specialist who was disturbed by the youthfulness of the models.
"They all look so young, particularly the girl. And to portray them in a threesome - it's just taking it too far."
The ad depicts a topless young woman lying on top of a barechested boy while kissing a second shirtless male.
They're on a sofa, and below them a third male - pants and shirt unbuttoned - is lying on the floor.
Asked about the message in the ad, a Calvin Klein spokesman said the "intention was to create a very sexy campaign that speaks to our targeted demographic."
New Yorkers think they overshot.

Stay classy folks.
When you're talking about a state who fires one Governor for the contracting of "fine" prostitutes, and replaces him with a Governor who apparently enjoys cocaine and extra-marital affairs. the billboard just fits in.
First of all it is the bad kind of threesome
What country is SoHi?
What’s the girl on the billboard hoping to accomplish with Three gay guys?
SoHo
D-uddily-itto.
LOL
Calvin Klein placed this billboard in SoHo and not in Waco.
The reason for this is that the ad works in SoHo while it would not work in Waco.
New York and California are morally, fiscally bankrupt.
The anarchist and the sophisto have an inquenchable thirst for the decadent.
Wow. Calvin Klein going the way of Abercrombie. Just damn.
How homosexual of them.
Its not the first time Calvin Kline has dont this...he must be a borderline perv...
Looks like kind of a fun shoot if the boys swing that way, although what the one underneath is fantasizing about is a bit of a mystery given what’s going on overhead. Who stole his underpants, maybe.
New Yorkers would have to climb out of the gutter to see it.
That about says it and it’s showing. Nowhere to ever go but down.
This is just one more way homosexuality is gaining acceptance. Such ads appeal to female sub conscious fantasies while they appeal to male biological drives to spread the genes. If one doubts this Freudian insight just try showing an ad that has two men and one woman — it would not fly since males down’t want competition and females generally only want one male partner.
“Nothing comes between me and my Calvin Klein’s.”-
Brooke Shields.
Oh wait, it does show two males — one appeared way feminine. Guess this is New York we are talking about.
I was going to post a closer picture, but I don’t want to offend. Here is the link if anyone is interested. Personally I think that it is just too much. I don’t see how this has anything to do with selling jeans.

Gay.
Thats a clothing ad?
It looks like a trailer for a porn movie named “Mary becomes a boy toy slut - Does everyone.”
what or where is SoHo?
Check out the cap.
Unless Calvin Klein is now hawking sofas. It would make as much sense.
Now it makes even less sense.
(The “Streets” in Manhattan run east-west, 1st Street is one block north of Houston. South of Houston, they are named. The “Avenues” run north-south. If Madison had a number it would be 4th Avenue.)
SoHo was mostly zoned industrial, and industry, for some mysterious reason, has mostly abandoned Manhattan. This left a lot of (at one time) relatively cheap “loft” space available which people in rent controlled Manhattan converted into illegal residences and “arteests” studios. It's where Tom Hanks hangs out in “Big”.
Just to clarify matters, think of it as a huge dormitory at Antioch crammed full of adult adolescents suffering from arrested development and begging for money from home or their trust funds.
More proof of the last days.
But hey, “we’re just trying to hit our demographic.”
It is “over the top”.
And, hence, they are getting all the free publicity they were aiming for.
“a very sexy campaign that speaks to our targeted demographic.”
Their demographic must be underage victims of promiscuity.
Their demographic target are people who use the 'date-rape' drug?
Cheers!
Sell them jeans.
2 dudes? Ick. Wrong kind of threesome.
That is beyond sick!
The other kind would have been just as bad, but I suspect that many men on this site would not be upset. You can’t be upset about Letterman’s jokes about Palin and family and be okay with any of this, no matter what the combinations.
You got that right...
Post of the day!
Too funny.
What is this, Holland?
Of course, liberals and libertarians would just say, “if you find the billboard offensive, don’t look at it.”
I don’t get it - is Calvin Klein in the business of selling clothing or underage sex?
Letterman sees nothing wrong with the billboard.
Looks like those three flamers are about to toss the girl aside and do what they really want to do ... without her.
That’s horrible!
It also refers to a downtown or central district of a large city where the artsy-fartsy crowd hangs out.
Artsy district in New York City, SOuth of HOuston Street (hence SoHo).
