Clothing company Benetton is under fire this morning for its latest controversial promotion campaign "UnHate" featuring digitally altered photos of world political and religious leaders embraced in a kiss. The ads feature President Obama kissing on Chinese President Hu Jintao and Hugo Chavez as well as French President Nicolas Sarkozy embraced in a passionate kiss with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But it was a photo of Pope Benedict kissing an Egyptian Imam that caused the Vatican to call the stunt "absolutely unacceptable" and a "grave lack of respect for the pope."
