THIS IS TOO INDECENT (OR TOO BIG) FOR HONG KONG!
Djimon Hounsou is big ... HUGE !!!! Maybe a little too big for Asia. His skyscraper-sized Calvin Klein underwear ad has been cleared by Hong Kong regulators of indecency. The ad is on the side of the old Ritz-Carlton hotel, in the Central district of Hong Kong island. It was to be displayed until April 15, soon before the hotel is pulled down. source, source
No matter how small on Melrose Boulevard or big on Sunset boulevard. The ad may have caused a couple of hot flashed in LA but no complains to report ;-)
here's from hong kong!
actually there is another Big Big Djimon Hounsou on the other side of the building. Still can see him clearly on the opposite side of Victoria Harbour! Calvin Klein is getting crazy in hong kong..ad everywhere..haha

Hello all :)
I actually live in Hong Kong, and was really suprised (in a good way) when this went up. Marketing in HK is really agressive yet we have never had anything like this. Theres been some controversy about its "decentness" but to be honest I think it looks great.

I wish they have the ad in real color instead of this b/w artistic style. I love wacking off to CK ads, but this one doesn't do it for me.
