Lee busted - glamorising child porn!

[Matt 26z]

haha that is so true. You remember when the very young Abercrombie models were on the side of that bus? I was trying to find an image of it but haven't had any luck. It was so long ago I can't even remember if it was that bad. If my memory serves me correctly it wasn't that bad at all. Anyone remember what I am talking about?

You might be thinking of one of the Calvin Klein advertising controversies. This one from 1995 got the most heat. Even the FBI investigated...

Not sure those where the pics I remember from those ads, but was along time ago. As I recall it had allot of like 16-17 year old guys in briefs. Maybe those pics where too much to even use in this story

Sorry my bad you guys are right it was Calvin Klein. I don't think the ads were that bad.

Thanks Squirt for the pics. OMG I love Abercrombie models,

The two ad images at the bottom were the case of investigation

And this was the center of another CK VS. the People ad to become no more:

Ah yes the Calvin Klein ads!

Lee Jeans seems like a desperate watered down copy of the CK campaign, and released during child protection week here in Australia :uhoh:

As I recall it has like 3 guys only in briefs playing around, one was blond “and really cute” and the ads where on the sides of buses. I remember these ads so well because I had just got my license and almost got in an accident looking at it. Those pics look way to 70s to be the one I saw

Those were actually different from the 1995 controversy.

The most recent one featuring children, that was certainly iffy. I don't think the content itself was bad. It was just that they used the same style to shoot it as they do for their adult ads. If it would have been in color I don't think as many people would have complained.

Calvin Klein's ads were definitely in bad taste.

I remember a couple in particular that were from the ones the NYT archive article was speaking of, in which guys who were obviously under 18 (like 14-15) were posed very provocatively in very skimpy underwear that didn't leave a whole lot to the imagination.

At the time, they were arguing that it was "artsy" and so forth... but they were also quick to pull the ads when they generated a lot of heat.

My question is where were the parents of the kids posing in these ads? They were under 18, so clearly a parent was supposed to be present, and I have a hard time imagining a parent being OK with their kid being posed that way.

To be honest... the CK photos of kids I saw where really high quality and innocent. I've never seen any CK kid shots that were provocative, but I wouldn't be surprised :high:

It would be my guess the parents put the kids up to it. Remember Jonbonnet Ramsey and all those little girls they put in pagents? Who dresses up a little girl to look like a slut? It's sad when some parents see $$$ and will sell their kid out without a second thought.

Sorry my bad you guys are right it was Calvin Klein. I don't think the ads were that bad.

Here in 2006 they are no big deal, but in 1995 they were bad and really pushed the limits. This perfectly illustrates the acceptance of sex in American society as something that doesn't have to be taboo.

We are far from seeing full frontal nudity on national TV like they've got in many other countries, but people are less of a prude these days than they were.
