Hong Kong's 27-Story Djimon Hounsou Underwear Billboard
Via Andy Towle: Apparently, not everyone in Hong Kong is pleased with this huge billboard for Calvin Klein's new man of "steel." Regulators "received complaints of indecency" about the "27-story Calvin Klein billboard featuring Djimon Hounsou draped on the side of the city's soon-to-be-leveled Ritz Carlton hotel." The ad is posted on one side of the hotel and takes up the hotel's entire side.
Nothing comes between Djimon Hounsou and his Calvins. Authorities "took a good look at it and decided it wasn't indecent."

Man, I love that ad. I also think Hong Kong is a cool city.

I think the unasked question is how much extra does the Hilton charge so one can stay on the--what would it be? 18th floor? 20th?--just to get in Djimon's briefs?
