Gross!

This is a lagging add.

O k...I got the  United  Colors of Benetton's  message:Love each other .From now on I will love Obama, Chavez and all these tyrants, murders ,terrorist ,geezers.Would not say a crap about them.Their 2 minutes & 52 seconds is up .Now,  someone please remove all of these man to man kissing pics from internet and T.V .I find it very disturbing , disgusting and gross. 

First pic, I saw on MSN home page was  Obama and his Chinese counterpart. After viewing another where South and North Koren president were kissing .I wanted to puke badly . .Yuck ,Jeez !I don't want to see the rest. I even did not like Chancellor of Germany ,Angela and President of France's Nichol Sarkozy's smooch  . .......Double Yuck !

Who is kissing who :

1.Paramount Leader of the People’s Republic of China – President of the USA
2.Supreme Leader of North Korea – President of South Korea
3.Chancellor of Germany – President of France
4.President of the Palestinian National Authority – Prime Minister of Israel
5:President of the US President Obama -Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez .
6: Most controversial : Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayyeb -Pope Benedict XVI,which has been removed from the Unhate official website.

""We are therefore sorry that the use of the image of the Pope and the Imam has so offended the sentiments of the faithful. In corroboration of our intentions, we have decided, with immediate effect, to withdraw this image from every publication."United  Colors of Benetton's facebook fan page(here).

You can see the pics here! because I don't like any of them .So not gonna upload here .These are phony politicians who  don't really care about us. They play games, OK?Do you think Israel will let Palestine free ? Or after this unhate campaign  South Korea and North Korea be united ?  Gimme a break ! China's most of the money is in USA. Do you really think they are each other real enemies and rivals. Forget it. They are bunch of cunning liars.If peace happened then  these politicians  shop would be close. 

This specific UNHATE ad/campaign  of United  Colors of Benetton's  which was inspired by a kiss between Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and East German communist leader Erich Honecker in 1979 is very very gross and  bogus  which has created a controversy .There intention might be good .It ended up pretty wrong though  . Peeps are not talking about LOVE. Everyone is more inserted in about whether they like or not the kiss. 

Culture of peace starts with  respect,understanding and  listening to each   others.There are lotta other quite better ways to promote love between enemies and different faith .Thousand better creative ideas to combat the culture of hatred.I tell you what .......one can tolerate  a lot in the name of art but not in advertisement,ecpecially if religious sentiments are atteched to them.

I give you one local example of violent reaction regarding to an ice cream advertisement.Back in 2001,Peshawar(Pakistan) peeps burnt some of the  the billboards and throw the ink on model's face at the billboard because in that ad female  model was licking the wall's ice cream Magnum in a very seductive way ,which was too much for a Pakistani society.

Every thing about Benetton's Ad (unhate) is wrong.When Benetton say no to hate they must weigh about the provocation  they can make in the people around the world.It has boiled the Christan faiths more than Muslims. Many Christians believe that Benedicto XVI is the person who represents Jesus Christ in the earth.

Same as that I have high respect for my Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayyeb,and my  Pope Benedict XVI , as well. The both stand contrary to the value of homosexual acts and this is insulting. Pope Benedict XVI has already taken legal action against the company and called it "unacceptable" 

"It shows a serious lack of respect for the pope," Federico Lombardi___Vatican spokesman said in a statement that warned that the Vatican was studying measures to protect the pontiff's image.

While Imam slammed the advertisement as "irresponsible and absurd."  So absurd was the concept that the institution -- Sunni Islam's highest seat of learning -- "is still hesitating as to whether it should issue a response," Mahmud Azab, adviser to Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayyeb, told AFP.

Azab said he wondered if this type of campaign was "in fact dangerous for universal values and freedom of expression as understood in Europe."

One thing is clear Benetton's photographer is creative but this time (again) he has crossed   the boundary of moral values & respect .For that they always play with sentiments . Remember that campaign of   a nun kissing preset.Showing human private areas of different skin colors to promoting death row criminals.

In 1993 Bentton has also publishe  an ad of  56 sets of male and female genitalia in British newspaper Indepentend.After the publication of that ad, sales fell by 1,000 copies in reaction . Then an image of the Queen was regenerated by computer as a black person. Another showed a blood-smeared baby still attached to its umbilical cord. Two years ago a Benetton campaign used a photo of Albanians crowded on a ship trying to get to Italy.  Other 12 controversial campaign  (here).
