Benetton picture of Pope kissing an Imam has been pulled after Vatican backlash
Italian clothing company Benetton has withdrawn a publicity shot of the Pope kissing a Muslim religious leader after a Vatican backlash.
The digitally manipulated picture showed Benedict XVI locking lips with Mohammed Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand sheikh of al-Azhar mosque in Cairo. It is part of their new advertising campaign 'Unhate' that launched on yesterday and featured unlikely combinations of religious and political figureheads kissing.
Here are some of the best shots.

I agree with smurph25. I find it hard to believe that it has actually been digitally manipulated... except to maybe airbrush out the tongues!!!

The one with Angela Merkal and Nicolas Sarkozy is striking and appropriate at the moment (considering what's going on in the Eurozone)

You posted the same story? Do you remember the headline? Then I can search for it in the system and see if I can find it.

Let me know if that keeps happening because it's not being done by the UK staff.
I love the Netanyahu and Abbas one.
