BREAKING: Calvin Klein Forced to Apologize After “Common Sense” Fails in New Ad Campaign

Kearny, NJ – Local resident Karen Mitchell, 47, is “absolutely done” with Calvin Klein after the brand’s latest “woke” billboard went up on Route 1&9.

“Who in their right mind puts a man in a dress and calls it ‘fashion’? That’s not a dress—that’s a raincoat for a scarecrow missing half its stuffing,” Mitchell posted in the Kearny Community Watch Facebook group. “I’ve got three kids. I don’t need them asking me why Uncle Calvin is wearing a nightgown. It’s common sense: men wear pants. Women wear dresses. End of story. Not everything needs to be a ‘conversation starter.’ Sometimes a garbage bag is just a garbage bag.”

The ad, which features a non-binary model in a flowing “gender-fluid” maxi-dress, has sparked a 2,000-comment firestorm. Mitchell’s post, which she titled “This is what happens when you let fashion people run the marketing department instead of people with actual taste,” has already been shared 450 times.

Calvin Klein issued a statement saying they “celebrate individuality and self-expression.” Mitchell replied in the comments: “You can celebrate all you want, but keep it off the billboard my kids see on the way to soccer practice. I don’t need to explain why your brand forgot the difference between a shirt and a shower curtain. Use some common sense.”
