I don't think I would have enjoyed being the retoucher on this campaign.

Something I just don't like about Benetton ads! I have an image of all the Benetton ad people thinking of this and loving it because of the controversy it would cause....not actually believing in the message of 'Unhate'. Controversy for controversy's sake???

Shock value for shop value.
Move along people...

Lemonlove has a good point.

Still, great set of ads

If only every client could be so brave

Agree with lemonlove too.

Even if a Benetton ad draws 100 comments, they're comments about the comments it will probably draw. Chase your tail.

This campaign's just been pulled in Australia. The usual 'moral outrage'. PC bullshit.
Good to see Benetton (and Italy) pushing the envelope.

They're supposed to sell clothes right?
It grabs your attention and it's a nice project for social change but I have no clue what it has to do with the brand.
6.6 stars for social change. 0 for clothes.

Agree with Abhishek. And, I like the ads.

So Benetton can't sell clothes, so they're selling controversy?! They want to resolve years of bottled up hate and anger by showing the world's conflicting leaders kissing and making up?! What an ignorant and childish notion!
This doesn't even do that. Because all of the executions are males kissing males, the first thing that comes to mind is, 'Is this about gay rights?'
If these ads work for you, then you were never part of the problem.

It's effin flabbergasting that this piece of crap gets over 100 votes.

I'm going with lemonhead and esteb on this one.
