The clothing company’s controversial ad campaign features world leaders kissing.
Nov. 17, 2011 People walk past an advertisement in Paris that features President Obama kissing Chinese President Hu Jintao. The ad campaign features world leaders kissing each other on the mouth, which Benetton says supports the Unhate Foundation, which opposes the culture of “hate” and is “aimed at exorcising the ‘fear of the other,’ “ according to the campaign’s Web site.
