Calvin Klein models have cavorted in their skivvies there for years. Porn star Jenna Jameson is there now, promoting her latest skin flick. But this ad for Plugg Jeans won’t be appearing in Times Square. It was rejected this month by Van Wagner Outdoor, as well as a number of teen magazines. Elle Girl and Teen People both demanded retouches, which included softening the male model’s pectoral muscle tone and raising the waistline of his pants.
