Did Calvin Klein drop an F-bomb on New York City?

calvin-klein.jpgIs there a curse word in this NYC Calvin Klein ad?

CK has never shied away from controversy - in 1980 15-year-old Brooke Sheilds made a splash with her "nothing comes between me and my Calvins" campaign, and they haven't looked back since.

The latest scandal involves the billboard above. Model Lara Stone appears on the ad, which may or may not spell out the F-word. Can you see it? Angry New Yorkers believe the table in the background, the model's underwear, and the "CK" logo are sending a subliminal message.

Did you see it when you first looked at the pic?

Passers-by expressed their outrage to CBS News. "It's subliminal messaging. I don't think it's healthy or good for anyone, not even just young kids," Said one potential customer.

What do you think, Zap2it readers? Was the message intentional, or do we only have our own dirty minds to blame?

Funny, all I noticed was Lara Stone.
For CK One she is a beautiful one to CK.

That's a bit of a reach. Only a perv could see that in this photo.

ridiculous, just get your mind out of the gutter already!

I didn't see it at 1st until drawn to it via being told. However, I can see that if you want to believe it's there... much like a grilled cheese Jesus... you can see it.

It seems unintentional, but in an advertising world that's supposed to miticulous with details, it's not completely unrealistic that they may have done it on purpose

Saw it right away but the headline was kind of a spoiler.
