"Mohammed Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand sheikh of al-Azhar mosque in Cairo"
would you have been OK with them hugging?What is th epoint in doing an offensive adverts not really any skill to it is there
I can't see what the problem is.
It's not like they're using tongues or anything.
Pretty low form of advertising but it's obviously worked!
Ooh!

If it was real they can do what they like
Would you be ok If I greet you like that next time 😉
What size feet do you have again?
If you explain that one on the internet then you die and get a ban 😯
They are [url= http://unhate.benetton.com/campaign/china_usa/ ]here[/url] by the way
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 [i]we're[/i] the ones with the foot fetishIf you explain that one on the internet then you die and get a ban

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.
I assumed the pictures were photoshopped 😳
I was not meaning to make it sound like it was us so again 😳
IGMC
sounds like they [b]are[/b] shopped as I'm sure several had assumed.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
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."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.

Hmmm... a message of unconditional love, forgiveness and peace?
I can't see that being popular with the world's religions.. 😉
just out of insterest anyone here [i]outraged[/i]?
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.
just out of insterest anyone here outraged?
I'm not even mildly perturbed.
Does Netanyahu have a combover?
Great advertising they are getting loads of press!
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.
I'm outraged on behalf of the people that will be outraged!
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 😉Well they are really aren't they unless you're a 15yo writing a poem.
They already have. They only post spiteful posts at eachother on here to throw people off the scent.
True, you know.
I'm outraged at being shown nipples on a thread that previous did not suggest there would be any nipples!
I outraged for you too Samuri!
