Calvin Klein Perfume for Technosexuals

CK IN2U, the new fragrance by Calvin Klein, bottles the scent of the blogging generation.
Last year, the company went so far as to trademark “technosexual,” anticipating it could become a buzzword for marketing to millennials, the roughly 80 million Americans born from 1982 to 1995. A typical line from the press materials for CK in2u goes like this: “She likes how he blogs, her texts turn him on. It’s intense. For right now.”

Which may turn off its intended audience by the tens of thousands.
Valleywag has mocked up a different ad for the new scent with Ben and Mena Trott, founders of Six Apart and makers of the Movable Type blog software, imagined as Calvin Klein models.

Re: That's retarded


funny though I am tempted to see what it smells like atleast. Not that I am a big cologne man but it would amuse me to find out.

But why


I need no cologne while blogging or text messaging.

Re: But why


because it is the new hot thing. I like the notion of being called a technosexual.

I keep reading it as INU2 instead of IN2U. If the marketing people at Calvin Klein were remotely hip they'd know it's "N2U" anyway.

So they're trying to sell it to failures that still subscribe to AOL?
