Probably the best place for these. Pictures from Benetton's "Unhate" campaign:

Slightly disturbing.

It's a very wonderful campaign.

It's been shut down in Italy (understandable, and inacceptable)

I'm surprised I didn't see this on the site, since it could potentially end this site too. I'm not entirely sure what the stance on U2 allowing taping and sharing of concerts online, but think of what could happen to other sites that share bootlegged material. Or outtakes that weren't publicly released.

Of course this would only concern those who are in the US, but for now. What if this passes and other countries decide to follow as well? Just some thoughts I'd share with the community.

it's always hard discussing such an arguement .. no need to say i'm definitely for freedom of expression but there is always a limit to it .. it must never go to be offensive for something or someone.
keep in mind that i'm not a believer at all.
don't know if this advertising has been created by Oliviero Toscani (as often for Benetton) but he has surely achieved his main purpose .. large loads of free advertising everywhere .. he's a Master in it.

ps: we still have the Pope here and he still has a big influence here .. too much in my opinion not only for this kind of stuff

There are plans to cut long term protestants from their unemployment benefits here in Holland. Since they need to be available for work at all times. They see camping for weeks as a violation. Seeing some of them on the news, i dont disagree :-#
