Benetton, which has already earned their place in the world of advertising with their smart, colorful and often controversial ads, released one more great advertising campaign called ‘Unhate‘ to promote tolerance and combat hatred. It features professionally manipulated photos that show unlikely pairings of world leaders kissing one another, and whoever did the photoshopping is pretty good at it.

Benetton also invites people from around the world to upload diptyched images that mimic kissing duos, alongside a message of tolerance and ‘unhate’ on their ‘KISS WALL‘.
