Justin Bieber Calvin Klein Ad Broke Internet 5 Times More Than Kim Kardashian Paper Cover

Canadian pop sensation, Justin Bieber's Calvin Klein shoot gets 5 times more social media mentions than Kim's Paper cover. The pop star's recent Calvin Klein campaign boosted the brand's social media credentials immensely, according to UK Daily Mail.
According to WWD, the designer brand has amassed 3.6 million followers across its social media channels ever since Justin - alongside Lara Stone - was unveiled as the face of its Spring campaign.
If that wasn't enough, the campaign's hashtag #mycalvins generated 1.6 million Twitter mentions in the first 48 hours; that's five times the amount of #breaktheinternet mentions that Kim Kardashian and her bare derriere accumulated for Paper Magazine.

'SNL' Spoofs Justin Bieber Calvin Klein Ads and His Bulge

NBC
NBC
ET- On Saturday, the show took Bieber's Calvin Klein video ad and recreated it with comedian Kate McKinnon's classic Bieber impression. And as you probably guessed, the singer's controversial bulge gets all the flack!

At two different points, the parody has McKinnon pointing to her stuffed Calvins as she says, "Yeah, my pee pee's in there" and "My Calvins…Clothes for my big wiener."

In these ads, Bieber as a "big boy" is also teased as he says, "I'm not supposed to drink, but I do," and he takes a sip from a juice box, lifts two-pound weights and rides around on a scooter.

That’s $5 million more than the government had said last fall it was spending on Canada 150 advertising, because they’re now including other programs as part of the party.

An estimated $6.5 million is being spent producing and running ads about the Charlottetown and Quebec conferences currently running on social media and mainstream media channels clearly tagged as being connected to the anniversary.
