A Calvin Klein jeans advertisement which critics say is suggestive of gang rape has been removed from Australian billboards after dozens of complaints.
The ad, which showed a jeans-clad man straddling a near-naked woman while another man pulls her hair, attracted 40 to 50 complaints to the Advertising Standards Bureau.
Bureau chief executive Fiona Jolly said the highly sexualised nature of the advertisement was behind the regulator's decision to take down around half a dozen billboards across the country.
"The industry standard says you can use sexuality and nudity provided to use them with sensitivity to the audience," she told ninemsn.
"These are large billboards so they have a broad audience of anyone who can see them."
Ms Jolly said most of the Calvin Klein billboards have now been removed, while one in Melbourne will be down by the end of the week.
Women's advocate and author Melinda Tankard-Reist wrote in her blog that advertisements like the Calvin Klein billboard promote the idea that women and girls "exist for male gratification and pleasure".
"Another example of violence against women being promoted as sexy, with intimations of the gang rape of an inanimate young woman," she wrote in her September 29 blog.
This is how Multinationals (together with governments) are working to desensitise the children of the canon fodder.
Suggestive images like this are used in the mass media to groom the minds of the goyim (cattle's) children.
Klein was born in The Bronx to Jewish-Hungarian immigrants. He attended the High School of Art and Design and matriculated at, but never graduated from, New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, receiving an honorary Doctorate in 2003. He did his apprenticeship in 1962 at an oldline cloak-and-suit manufacturer (Dan Millstein),[1] and spent five years designing at other New York shops. He later, in 1968 launched his first company with a childhood friend,[1] Barry K. Schwartz.[2]
