Calvin Klein came under scrutiny after he launced his new line of underwear for children. After only one day of launching these ads, one in New York Times, Klein pulled them. Why? Because of the hideous repuation of human sexuality, exploitation, use of minors. The ads use children's flesh to grab the attention of the audience, and this is just not morally permissible. There was a concious choice, by the professionals, to choose which photos to use representing the precise appeal. Klein argued that only, "dirty old men", would find something sexual in these ads, but this is just a cover. The most disheartening aspect of this issue is the one on child molestors. According to the FBI, most child offenders collect children underwear ads..". I am glad our society shuns this attempt to sell products, when innocent children are at stake.
