Benetton returns to its controversial marketing roots with a new campaign that features President Obama and other world leaders engaging in a kiss. In two separate ads, Obama is seen kissing Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, and Chinese President Hu Jintao.

I spent some time in Turkey as a missionary and I remember being told not to be alarmed if your Muslim friend kisses you on both cheeks, even if you are both males. This is often done between good friends and is seen as a sign of affection.




Will the kiss campaign be a turn-on for peace — or for sales?

What's the purpose of the ad?

I'm sorry but I hardly see how this is 'Breaking Alternative News' or even news for that matter...no offence.

When did ATS turn into a gay porn site?

I considered moving to Argentina not too long ago, this tradition is one of the things that made me reconsider. Kissing to say hello, and goodbye, just seems like a really good way to spread disease. Hell, I'm often hesitant to shake hands with strangers.
Also, I just wanted to ad: as much as Chaves and Venezuela have been #ed over by the United States corporatocracy, you would think that he would be less willing to make out with that war-mongering bastard Obama.

I posted this earlier

But I love the ads

Polititians Kissing

'shocking' adverts? no, just creepy, i hope this backfires on benetton.

Skepticism abounds, though — the company’s sales have been dragging, and some are speculating that the ad campaign might just be a way of jolting consumers into remembering the Benetton name. The campaign is the first part of a three-step plan to revive the Benetton brand. According to the WSJ, the brand is also rethinking its clothing lines.

I'll just say this from the above quoted text out of the linked article. It will jolt me into remembering the Benetton name. That part is an unqualified success. I won't be thinking of anything positive when I do recall it on any future instances of seeing it. However, the name IS now unforgettable. Oh yes, indeed.

Damn it... some things cannot be un-seen.

I am not offended by this. But im a female...

Uh-Oh, I see a huge conspiracy brewing here. these people Obama is seen smooching are all gonna get assassinated at some point in the near future. Want some damning evidence for this one folks look at this crazy article on Obama's homosexual partners, and what happened to them www.sodahead.com... I will say this does look pretty suspect, maybe obamas code name is Deep Throat.

Benetton pulls shock ad showing pope, imam kissing, after Vatican protest

Vatican protests...


I am without words.

You guys are missing the point.

This is significant!

This is what the PTB or the Illuminati use all the time, called "The Revelation of the Method"

It's a psy-op, a very disturbing psy-op as discussed constantly by David Icke and Alex Jones amongst others.

It is risky to reveal to the people what has been done to them by the gangster class that lords it over them. Patently, in the wake of the revelation, the risk is one of reprisal, retribution and rage by the people. But where there is little or none of that, then the Cryptocracy has tripled its hold on the minds and hearts of Americans: it has strongly hinted about the mass murder it committed on Sept. 11 and yet, there are few significant repercussions. This non-reaction tends to demonstrate that the people of the US accept, at the subliminal level of their consciousness, that their own leaders are mass murderers of their fellow citizens, and mostly what they do in return is shake it off and head to the mall.

To me these pictures are the ultimate FU to the American people saying we elites are all in on it and there is nothing you can do. Everything is just an illusion we manufacture to keep the sheeple subdued and under our control. In fact, you are so much under control, we can break the illusion at any time, as blatantly as we like and nothing happens.We display our unholy intentions for all to see.

SHEEPLE! Baa-a-a-a-a.

Please - someone more knowledgeable and erudite jump in and explain this better than I am. Or correct me where I am wrong, please.

PS: Did I not just see where Michelle Obama and Jill Biden were kissing each other full on the lips like Madonna and Brittany and looking like they liked it?

Ugh... Another overly stupid commercial campaign for overly stupid people. But hey, at least Snooki's not in there anywhere...

Is it me, or is advertising just getting... stupider?

Love it!!!!

Where can I buy an Obama/Chavez shirt?

They have a Hillary/Bill Clinton one?

Mods - Does this need to be moved to a more appropriate forum?

People were outraged when O bowed to foreign dignitaries.

Today AP says the photos were faked.

Benneton Pulls Gay Kissing Pope Ad

Riiiight.

They were probably all at the Bohemian Grove and took time off from the usual Satanic Sacrifice to let their freak flag fly.

What does this do to the much vaunted "Dignity of the Presidencey" as tattered as it already is?

Someone tell me to mellow out if I am making too much something out of nothing.

I think it's brilliant, whoever came up with the campaign deserves some advertising award. Great way at creating a reaction. I didn't know bennetton still existed. I do now.
