    I can’t see what the problem is.

    It’s not like they’re using tongues or anything.

    Just thought hugging would send the same message but some people might be less offended – possibly not hit the headlines quite as hard tho (as was no doubt intended).

    oh nice, make it sound like we’re the ones with the foot fetish

    It’s not really offensive, is it? To be offended by a picture of something you’ve actually done in public simply means you’re an idiot and shouldn’t have done it.

    The provocative advertising campaign also included digitally-manipulated images of Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, locked in an embrace with Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian leader

    sounds like they are shopped as I’m sure several had assumed.

    “This shows a grave lack of respect for the Pope, an offence to the feelings of believers, a clear demonstration of how publicity can violate the basic rules of respect for people,” said Father Federico Lombardi, the Vatican’s spokesman.

    I’m having difficulty seeing whats so offensive about it all. I know several religions are against a bit of boy on boy smooching but pretty sure peeps in the bible used to give each other a peck now and again to show peace love and harmony.

    The first one of Vinnyeh’s is just provocative/attention seeking, it has non of the message that is carried in the world leaders ads.

    Unhate is a message that invites us to consider that hate and love are not as far away from each other as we think

    Well they are really aren’t they unless you’re a 15yo writing a poem.

    or a hollywood/soap writer how many characters hate each other, have a flaming row and suddenly start snogging and strip off and get down and dirty? Must be true. Just waiting for TJ and cynic-al to give in to it 😉
