Holy Kiss

There’s a lot of hubub about the new United Colors of Benetton ad campaign, which depicts world political leaders kissing. It’s amazing. I love it. I love it all. But what’s super interesting is that the Vatican was very offended and acted quickly and now Benetton has removed one of the ads that shows the Pope kissing Egyptian imam Ahmed Mohamed el-Tayeb. Has the Vatican forgotten that the bible says, “Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss,” 1 Thessalonians 5:26. The kiss of peace! The sign of peace! Geez, read up on your shit, that you wrote!

Here’s a clip of the ladies talking about the campaign:
