We’ve been looking for a larger house for a while now so while I was walking to the park with my daughter today I was really excited to see a beautiful old house for sale. It’s only a couple blocks from our place now, well made (over 100 years old) GORGEOUS!! So, when we are [...]
Crazy old Calvin Klein has been known for pushing the sometimes creepy, always overt sexuality in most of their ad campaigns.
There’s been young Brooke Sheilds.
I remember my uptight mom talking about the commercial with one of her bible study buddies. Because of this commercial my mom wouldn’t let me wear Calvin Kleins, so I guess their methods don’t always work. But they still keep coming – one crazier than the next.
One thing is sure, the controversy keeps the label in the news. But, when is it going too far? I was beginning to think that I had become totally desensitized to any risque media because of the overload that is shoved down our throats on a daily basis – but I was WRONG – this time old CK PEE has taken it too far even for me. Old Pee Happy is running a new undie campaign for guys. You can see how men around the world mark their spot here.
Calvin Klein X Underwear is taking X to a whole new level using webcams to show how men around the world are marking their spot with X. The “X Marks the World” project lets users look into webcams of guys from Europe, Africa, North America, South America and Asia talking about how they mark their spot.”
CKs PR department constantly pushes the envelope and now I see why. For years I’ve enjoyed their sexy ads. I like looking at hot guys in their drawers. But, I never really discussed it and I certainly wouldn’t consider writing a post about it. But now the ad guys can check me off their list – they got me – creeped me out. Made me talk about them, write about them. Now I have these gross images of guys standing around peeing and instead of appreciating the beautiful men in all their tidy whitey goodness all I can see is them peeing. GROSS. I tell you what they had better run an ad campaign with my favorite guy – NAKED – to burn the images that are stuck in my head.
the Duke of Suffolk, Charles Brandon – from the Showtime series The Tudors his name is Henry Cavill – SOO HOT!!
Ewwww. I don’t really want to think about hot men peeing.

Okay, I must be missing something because I looked at a few of them and didn’t see anyone peeing.

Anne – totally disgusting
Don – Be honest – I know you probably have stacks of Victorias Secret in your room.
Jen – Silly girl, you don’t get to WATCH them pee you get to watch them talk about how they mark their spot –
“The “X Marks the World” project lets users look into webcams of guys from Europe, Africa, North America, South America and Asia talking about how they mark their spot”
As far as that crap with my website acting up – I keep trying to make it happen to me. I’m leaving a comment as a visitor and have done it every time you mention it and I can’t seem to get it to happen. I wish I could figure out what the heck it was.
I think Calvin Klein has now officially “jumped the shark.”

I watched one of those x guys and it was actually boring. The guy looked great, but there was nothing spectacular about what he said. So I guess the others are better (or worse i guess I should say…)… but the first one was so yawwwnnnn I closed out. I find your blog much more interesting than the X site! Especially with that LAST pic you put

Nothing like a bit of controversy for creating free publicity…Even if it was hot woman peeing I still wouldn’t want to see it, but there is plenty of wackjobs out there that get excited about such things…

I, first, saw those commercials, a few months ago, and was surprised at the lack of verbal restraint on the part of the dummies … err … models. Between rumors that the black guy had had his junk Photoshopped to “fit” the product, and bleeping and blurring the model’s mouths, I didn’t know what to think. I guess I’ll stick to the ole fashioned cotton underwear.

Funny, but I’ve never found a pair of Calvin’s $60+ jeans that fit any better than my $14 WalMart jeans. True, I’m not a woman and I’m not real picky but I’m just saying.
Now, as far as his penchant for pushing the envelope with his ads, he is exploiting the sad fact that sex sells, and lots of sex sells a lot!
