Eva Mendes’ new ad for Calvin Klein Secret Obsession campaign has been controversial. The TV spots were banned by networks because she revealed a little too much of herself. And even this billboard, which was erected in Times Square yesterday morning had to be moved after the first building decided it was too racy.
In a statement, Eva says of the scandal: “I am so proud of (the ad). I am proud of being an American and am proud of my country, but I think we can be a little bit uptight about nudity sometimes.â€
Our thoughts? Too racy for NYC?

I dont see anything too racy about this billboard. Americans are so uncomfortable about nudity and sex…it’s sad really.
Honestly? It’s a bit skanky, If that were posted on someones Myspace of Facebook or whatever, I’d say the very same thing.
I wouldnt want to have to explain to my small and young children WHY there is a naked woman on a billboard.
Its not a good thing for small and young children to see.
I have changed my veiws on this woman
…And an advertisement in a magazine is different than an advertisement in the public space.
What’s the big deal? She is not showing anything. I am sure a lot of kids an grown ups see worse things on the internet.
i don’t see anything wrong with it.
i do see something wrong with canadian eh.
I agree with Adam…although, we can look at it this way….after all the photoshop that took place here, it’s kind of loke looking at a porceline doll.(a half naked one at that!)
Isn’t she a little old to be in a Calvin Klein ad??? He usually goes for kiddies.
Americans are rediculous. She´s naked… And? Wake up, it´s life!
Learn how to spell…..it’s ridiculous.
Eva Mendes causa furor en New York. El outdoor con la imagen de la actriz, es parte de la campaña del perfume Secret Obsession de Calvin Klein. El anuncio provocó mucha polémica, debido a su erotismo, primero fue el spot prohibido. Como ya te habÃamos adelantado, Eva Mendes comentó; que haya exagerada la prohibición y se siente orgullosa de haber hecho el comercial.
whatever olamujer
what´s wrong about children seeing an naked woman?
they are born naked by a naked woman..it´s only a parent´s thing to teach them when nudity is ok and when not-but to say its always something terrible wrong is just a way turning them into freaks^^
and you wonder why so many men struggle (and women) with pornography! i.e. David Duchovny!
Eh, we can be sort of puritanical when it comes to sex. Or contradictory. I don’t have a problem with this sort of “nudity”. If my little sister were to ask about it, it’s not a big deal. I don’t fret about explanations– being blunt is best: it’s an advertisement to make the perfume more sexy. Or something. The ad itself is kind of lame, thought. Not very creative.

[...] Nacktskandal: Eva Mendes zu heiß für New York Nachdem die TV-Spots der neue Werbekampagne mit Eva Mendes (34) von den US-Sender boykottiert wurden, hängt die “Secret Obsession”-Werbung von Calvin Klein nun seit heute wieder an einem Gebäude in New York. Allerdings gab es gesten schon einen ersten Versuch an einem Gebäude, den Eigentümern war das jedoch zu rassig. Eva sagt über ihren Nackt-Skandal: “Ich bin so stolz darauf. Ich bin stolz darauf, ein Amerikanerin zu sein und ich bin stolz auf mein Land, aber ich denke, wir könnten weniger verklemmt sein wegen der Nacktheit.” FOTOS [...]
