The ad looks like something hot is happening, or just about to

It turns out that it's not about just gay sex, it's about bisexual group orgy sex that makes the Calvin Klein billboard in Soho so offensive.

Columnist Dierdre McGruder from McClatchy Newspapers uses Fox News reports to support her outrage about the rather shocking Klein ad that was on the side of a building in Manhattan.

In her article, McGruder opines:

Near nudity isn't enough. Implied sweaty sex isn't enough. Implied sweaty gay sex isn't enough. Now we've moved into implied sweaty group bisexual sex..." 

What's so funny is that she seems almost OK with the implied gay sex, but it's the bisexual sex that is offensive to her. The article was syndicated, but initially printed in the Sun Herald, serving Biloxi, Gulfport and South Mississippi. You can leave a thought for her by clicking here.

The ad was originally called the "three-way" ad, with two guys and a girl on the sofa in an embrace, but very clearly there's a guy on the floor who's about to join in, or maybe just watch. The real question is, what does it all have to do with selling jeans anyway?

Nevertheless, McGruder's outrage and shock comes a bit too late, and a bit misplaced.

Alas, the ad was replaced last week with a girl in a bikini.
