  • The ads are provocative,yes, but at it's heart, these ads are about world peace. In case you haven't noticed, all the leaders pictured are from rival factions (e.g. Muslims vs. Christians, US vs. China, etc.). The message is for them to "Unhate" each other and bring their respective nations to peace. It's also a coincidence that the pictures are of men kissing. It just so happens that most world leaders are male. If it makes you feel better, there is a picture of Merkel and Sarkozy kissing, too.

  • Michael does not wear a beard well...

  • Best campaign ever - brilliant!

    meaby people will start getting that being gay is not any different.

  • @titaboy123 Horrible campaign which is insulting to religion, church and God.

  • @MrEnlighteneddespot "The church" is so far away from religion!

    it has become a money making machine, A cover up for horrible crimes (child molestation is one of them).

    about god, we are basing the world on some thing made up by crazy people in a tent 5,000 years ago. all religion is given us is war, death and billions of brain washed minds.

    Even if god excited, I dont think he would need you to stand up for him. I think he got lots of people dont believe in him, and think Mr.mighty moved on..

  • @MrEnlighteneddespot who is God???

  • @MrEnlighteneddespot Three parties that clearly deserve to be insulted. Except God doesn't exist, so all we can do is insult the mouth-breathers who believe in talking snakes and 2,000-year-old demigods with magical super powers.

    If God did exist, he actually WOULD be recruiting gays. If God created man and man is 5-10% gay... Or you could say that's against God's will. In that case, he still abides. He doesn't strike them down.

    If you believe in God, there is something wrong with you. Period.

  • @xJoeEDangerouslyx You would not be alive today breathing if it wasn't for the Lord our Creator. Ever wondered why we as humans are all unique, why the world is so complex and naturally stunning? It is because of the existence of God that is the case, and you owe the glory to him. As for God making gays, we are all sinners so jut because someone has the urge to engage in sodomy doesn't give a good reason to do so. There was nothing wrong with me last time I checked!>/?

  • beautifull woman, but what's wrong with the glasses?

    they from 1910??

  • Who the hell did the subtitles for this?

  • Kind of sucks they don't have an F1 team anymore.

  • Better than kissing little children you fucking pedophiles.

  • dumb blonde doesn't know how to string her thoughts together...

  • @BernardPumpkin i totally agree! it was amusing to watch :)

  • This is class! 

  • Are the hosts joking in the end or just dumb? It's to make everybody see it. They don't even need TV commercial minutes. Just posting it on Youtube or something like that will make millions of people see it. And when it then gets into the news medias etc. it will then get A LOT of talking time.

  • This commercial should be on all the time during the commercial brakes.

  • Why is the Obama picture even worse for her? Black people love the Chinese

  • @SodaStreamGuru

    I think the lighting from the original photo makes Hu Jintao look wrinkly and weird.

  • She is hot

  • At least they got rid of that other girl. I can't remember her name. But the poor ratings said it all lol. This was when Anna was away on holiday or something. However it seems that TYT STILL didn't get the message...we DON'T like stereotypically dumb blond valley girls presenting the show.

  • "Fake and gay."-Troll

  • misty got to google type in united colors of benneton and cllick on the images button or the shopping button. peace. i think you are cute.(and smart)

  • Misty, you are a hateful, dumb whore. "Obama kissing a man is gross, it's disturbing because he's our president!" ...Really? Really?!

  • what a losers... 1st there's no sexual relations what so ever allowed between priests or nun`s of roman catholic church (not to speak about other religions practices) ... 2nd "it`s closer to home"... blablabla... 3rd "do you think benetton did this because they knew that would cause controversy?"... NO my stupid darling it was a print error.

  • They need one of Ann Coulter kissing Janeane Garofalo.

  • @CentristFiasco yeah, i could definitely see fox do that lol. but i highly doubt they'd make the pope-imam kissing photo though. bill o'reilly would be soo pissed at that haha.

  • @CentristFiasco conservative group? maybe, if you consider benetton as a conservative group, or at least, taking ideas from conservative group. i doubt it though.

    this isnt the only photo of obama kissing another leader. benetton made an obama-hugo chavez kissing photo too. hmm, hugo chavez is a socialist....

  • Fuck pope...

  • crap. respect for the Pope you ignorant

  • They should do a lemon party style picture with the pope in it.

  • The damn campaign grosses me out.

    What crap is this.

  • The fact that anyone can resist an order from the Vatican without fearing lethal reprimand is positive progress.

  • As for gay rights as I am, I simply just find this campaign disturbing.

    Not sure if trolling.

  • Yeah, if she was going to report this, she could have taken 5 minutes on the internet to find out what Benetton is, what they sell, and most importantly what they stand for. I know she's too young to know Benetton at the height of its popularity, but to go on camera to be completely ignorant of the work of a truly progressive company projects an air of naive arrogance. If it's important enough to talk about, it's important enough to LEARN about before doing so.

  • who writes the sub-titles? That was the worst I've ever seen. It was at least one error in every sentence...

  • @sawman85 its software not somebody

  • I just had an idea. Fuck the pope and his child-raping army of Catholic priests.

  • Michael Shure reminds me of Louis C.K. for some reason.

  • @rodkill100200 His voice reminds me of Jonathon Katz.

  • on an unrelated topic, i really hate this fcking asshole and this whole ignorent show or whatever the fck, ''THEYOUNGTURKS'' is or stands for. P.S it just tilts the fck out of me, when people try or think they are funny, when they are clearly not!!! To make sure im clear, i am talking about the guy on the right side of screen, hes like the ringleader of news or retards!!!!. should i go on anymore?????

  • @rawjc umad son?

  • @rawjc Calling the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE, we got a complainer.

  • Where the hell is Ana

  • this chick is ......ummm just common guys really?????

  • The only part of this ad I found disturbing is how poorly they shooped it. Obama's head is so small. O.o

  • I stop at A clothing company called united colors of beneton

    i was like really,is she so ignorant???

  • LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Misty Kingma - babe.

  • @crazenate Misty kingma - dumb homophobic cunt.

  • @SillyLitleGirl Her comment about how it was creepy surprised me. Has she made homophobic comments before?

  • @crazenate im no homophobe and it didnt look right to me

  • Defamation only works if you can prove that a reasonable person would actually believe the picture or statements. The Pope lip kissing a raduical cleric? I don't think so.

  • Are you kidding me? This is soft-core compared to some ad campaigns they (Benetton) did before!

    Google it up: benetton aids . You'll see what real hard-core advertising is all about! And they've been doing it since before some of you were born!

    Get real, get with the times or go join NASA, see if they want you in their first maned flight to Mars and get the fuck out of my planet!

  • Fuck the Vatican? YES!

  • that is so wrong, sue the shit out of them

  • @Defiler360 LOL

  • I don't know...I'm for gay rights and doing what you can to battle homophobia, but I think I'd be offended if a picture of me came up kissing someone I did not kiss and would not choose to kiss....not for reasons of sexuality but for reasons of political persuasion or general dislike. If someone photo-shopped me kissing George W Bush, I'd be disturbed. It comes down to, do people own the rights to their own face? Can Benneton make money using the Pope's image against his wishes?

  • @MonkeySeeMonkeySay on the one hand i agree but the pope is a public figure and parody is fair use imo

  • @MonkeySeeMonkeySay I don't think its about gay rights, its more about peace and diplomacy if you look at the website

  • @MonkeySeeMonkeySay You are not a public figure. If someone made a photoshop image of you kissing George, you might have legal grounds to sue. When you are the pope, a public figure, you usually waive rights that others have.

    If the pope were truly a believer in god, this wouldn't bother him or the vatican at all.

  • Yeah, I'll never wear Benetton clothes. I'm pro-free speech, and they have the right to have their ads, but I hate their ads. Even if I'm sympathetic to their cause, their ads actually turn me against their cause. Their clothes suck and they're over priced too.

  • @Newenlightenmentnow That's why ya find em at thrift shops instead - got an awesome, horribly well-made Benetton pencil skirt for five bucks!

  • If I where the head of advertising at Benetton, I would just say "Fuck'em" and continue. They get *TONS* of free exposure!! This stuff is awesome.

  • @Liqtor this shit is fuckign homo, no fuck that company.

  • what in a hell is doing Chris Novoselik in the news?

  • if u go to a pornsite and write misty in the searchbar MANY results will come

  • Pop culture for Misty only, please. Or erotic videos.

  • Streisand effect anyone?

  • The pope has sex with his fellow beluga whales

  • Misty is a dumb shit, for the love of fuck keep her in the back where we don't need to see her.

  • @comeclarityy Fuck that, Misty is alright by me.

  • @comeclarityy That is cringe worthily harsh.

  • @CmdrTobs sorry man

  • @comeclarityy The smartest people should be in the back, why should she be there?

  • @Xerxes4242 Better idea: Cut her completely. She has NO BUSINESS being with TYT.

  • @comeclarityy THANK you.  Seriously, what on earth is she doing on the show?

  • @comeclarityy you must be a jelous ugly girl or a jelous ugly fag 

  • @afshin021 dude, we get it, she's a very attractive girl, and probably lovely too... but so is Ana, and Ana is obviously more competent, don't make out like this is some kind of misogynistic insult at a pretty girl.

  • @comeclarityy ugly aswell...

  • @blackslay552 not even

  • I love a woman called Misty. I'm not so keen on Shure. ;)

  • "Mixing the races"? That's by far the least disturbing element of that picture. Anyway, if she were that racist, would she care about a Chinese guy kissing a black guy?

  • @hotnerdnews

    a child might think its ok for the pope to kiss them ;D

  • Is this what they call news now. Why have we heard nothing about the Internet censorship laws that Obama supports?? Why is it just digging for that police brutality story out of the thousands of cops on duty at OWS. Is it because you don't want to prevent support for your presidential hopeful? TYT is rapidly becoming a left wing fox news. Cent musta picked it up from MSNBC

  • So isn't there a non-Photoshopped photo of GWB kissing an a Sadie king/prince or whatever out there in cyberspace? The pope just may find out he doesn't have that much pull in the secular word.He's a public figure, stuff like this comes with the territory. Not that a sane person will see the ad, and conclude the the pope is a homo.

  • @xXRockXLobsterXx funny how we got used of explaining, because of that whole political correctness, if something is meant sarcastic, ironic, cinistic.

  • I don't want to even watch tyt with Misty. I've been watching for years and you guys keep bringing this girl back that the majority can't stand.

    Is someone at TYT sleeping with her? Just trying to keep her on the payroll?

  • @eight18 <3

  • so a guy who wears flowing white robes and a funny hat isn't gay?

  • stupid faggots

  • Mmmmmmm...Misty!!

    

  • Why do you think its ridiculous for the pope to be mad? If an ad campaign showing me kissing some chick I'd tell them to take it down... yea, you kinda should ask permission for that.

  • The pope looks like a bottom.

  • How can men who wear dresses and robes be against homosexuality...?

    anyone else smell a ruse...?

  • AAAWWWWWW, is thumbaudy maaad??

  • "I learn so much on this show"

    Lol

  • I rarely say this but that girl seems like a total moron

  • Thats nice...keep fueling the wars assholes!

  • The poop got mad? at 0:35 I forgive your pronunciation.

  • I have taken a stand for gay right, I think gay people should have all the right as me, I think they should be able to marry who they want. However I would be upset if there was a picture of me kissing a man. You don't want tohave to be anti-gay to know want a photo shopped picture of you kissing someone.

  • i don't mean to sound mean but...what rock do you have to live under to not know what Benetton is????

    is it an age thing??

  • @aadeogun

    Its an American thing

  • Wow....So we now understand that unequvicably that TYT is secular and hates God. This wack job is more distrurbed over Obama than the Pope...Girl..you are so screwed....good luck...Unlikely I will meet your soul after....

  • @KaptinObvious I think you're in the wrong place to try to be pushing that crap around here man. And fyi Catholicism accpeted homosexuality until you idiots started pushing that bigotry around screaming about hell and whatnot.

  • Comment removed

  • @downwithbreeders What? Is this a cut and paste? Me or God does not care about homosexuality. We care about representing love and outreach. Intentionally depicting someone in a way that is against their beliefs is assinine. I am not about "do what you want as long as it does not affect another". I am about reaching out your hand and drawing you into a place that understands that we are in a proving ground and "do whatever you want" can result in your soul (who you are) being omiited.

  • @KaptinObvious Neither am I genius, it's more like helping others to better the world as a whole. Judging by the comment you left appears to me as though you are a bigot who wants everyone to follow your religion. I'm not like that.

  • @downwithbreeders How does falsly depicting two leaders kissing help others better themselves as a whole. How in the WORLD does Maddow strive to better the world? (as seen on your channel) She's a total instigating jackass! The same as Fox has instigating jackasses. I deny your claim that your intent is to improve the world. AND make no mistake...It is RELIGION (beliefs) mine or others than has kept the moral check in this world (Excluding Muslims). Secularism is a prelude to anarchy not love.

  • @KaptinObvious

    As a devoted TYT fan let me tell you:

    Your "God" can suck mah balls

  • @dudesonman4200 Why it exists is beyond explanation of those you follow. You're in or you're out. Your reality that you believe that when lights are out and your body is done and all goes dark that all is over omits practical science.. Your cohesive energy will continue to exist. Unfortunately whatever forces convinced you to believe otherwise will own you in the end. It will not be what you expect. Again...you are either a soul that reaches out or you ARE out. Either way, you own your fate.

  • @KaptinObvious

    Isnt God all knowing? Doesnt he know who will go where before you are even born?

  • @dudesonman4200

    Unfortunately even the Classical Greeks had came up with a very valid bullshit to counter your question, "Gods are all knowing but humans are not", so you cannot deny fate even if you try to run away from it (I.E. Odepius is the best example), but again since you do not know your fate, it is really up to you to decide what to do and response. This is why almost every religon (theism) suggest the mortal world is a piece of crap.

  • LMAO !!!

  • Mistie's lookin pretty cute these days

  • the Obama kiss looks like it was totally forced like it was done on a dare or something

  • This girl is really annoying. Loose the glasses, you aren't fooling anyone!

  • @elhacienda loose the telepathy, you aren't fooling anyone!

  • @elhacienda nah I like her

  • @elhacienda Right. She always wears them to look nerdy because it's cute. Not because she needs glasses. If you say she doesn't, then she doesn't. Grow up dude. And it's "Lose" not "Loose".

  • Misty is so friggin cute and hot.

  • It's only a problem b/c the pope is kissing a grown man. If he was with a kid facing the opposite direction, no problem.

  • @Tuuliska

    Hey, don't provoke them or they might actually sent soldiers in red and yellow pajamas on the supposed "heretics". =D With 15th century pitchforks of course.

  • The pope would rather have REAL sexual molesters in his celibate priesthood than have a photoshopped image of him being half that queer.

  • People have lost the ability to laugh. This is just a joke. LOL

  • David Cameron is so unpopular that he wasn't even included in this Benetton ad campaign. Says it all.

  • @cupcakefairy87 lol they should've had one of him kissing Nick Griffin

  • lieberman and hitler

  • Gadaffi and Ahmadinejad!

  • There are many more clashes in dogmatic thought, indicative of man's cretinous hand in "holy" scripture. It makes me sick to my stomach that a "free thinker" like yourself, would think it okay to defend such garbage.

    So because we as humans don't have the capacity to scientifically understand the full majesty of the cosmos, we shouldn't be so quick to disregard the middle eastern goat herders and their stories? That's incredibly gullible.

    WTF IS THE BLACK HOLE THEORY? That sounds made up.

  • @jyakin

    1) When you don't understand something, you say you don't know. You don't go around telling other people who got the wrong answers stupid when you yourself cannot offer a better explanation but provide another answer just as faulty as the first.

    2) Black hole, Big Bang, w/e you want to call it.

  • @Balencian

    Scientific reasoning and progress is just as faulty as theistic ramblings? *puke*

    Wasn't it you who brought up a picture of me being a bit like christians during the renascence?

  • @jyakin

    Yes, because you throwing insults at people who do not believe in atheism for no fucken reasons like the inquisition.

    And scientific reasoning is not faulty, what is faulty is the explanation there is no God by pseudo-scientsits, science do not conflicted with the belief in / the belief in not believing in the existence of God. Tell me which part of your explanation is scientific when you said I do not believed in God because there is not magical flying teapot.

  • @Balencian

    :'(

    Don't leave. I was having fun.

  • @jyakin

    Glad you are having fun and not as irritated as you sounds from the tone of your text. Anyways, i am still waiting for your response. =)

  • @Balencian Response regarding what?

    Undeniable proof that "god" doesn't exist? What I have is evidence of human mistakes are rampant in the words and behaviors of the "creator". This among other things makes his absence more apparent to me. "god" as described by monotheists is in constant contradiction. Therefore, he cannot be as he is described. How do you like that for proof?

  • @jyakin

    You are not answering my question, the fact is you cannot proof God does not exist but you feel like you have the right to bash others' belief and calling them stupid when you yourself do not know the right answer. And just like what I said like so many fucken times, I am agnostic and I do believed any religious doctrine created by "men" and the point I am trying to proof (which you cannot reject) is that fundamental atheists are just as much of a retard as fundamental theist.

  • @Balencian How exactly are atheists "just as much of a retard as fundamental theist"? One doesn't believe in unsubstantiated claims, and the other does. Which one sounds more gullible genius?

  • @jyakin

    "One doesn't believe in unsubstantiated claims, and the other does"

    -I am keep on saying the same fucken thing, both of you are believing in unsubstantiated claims because both of you cannot proof one another to be incorrect or correct, and yet you guys act like you know the truth and bash each other for it! Both of you sounds dumb, and act without thinking, and just take things literally. That is my point, I cannot get more clear than this.

  • @jyakin

    Let me summarize your action and compare them to fundamental theist

    You: He do not believe Atheism, he is a lunatic theist.

    Crusaders and Jihadists: He do not believe in our God, he is a heretic.

    You: I cannot proof God does not exist, but you have to believe me cause you cannot proof he does exist.

    Crusaders and Jihadists: I cannot proof God exist, but you have to believe me cause you cannot proof God does not exist.

  • @Balencian

    Oh, my christ...

    You cannot BELIEVE in atheism. IT'S A LACK OF A BELIEF.

    I just fucking proved that "god" -under the religious parameters- CANNOT exist. I can't prove that a "higher deity" doesn't exist, but I can prove that if it DOES, it is not the benevolent self contradicting "lord" painted by religion. So yes. I will make fun of religious people for magical thinking.

    If you truly think that religious doctrines are created by man, then you COMPLETELY lack a belief in them.

  • @jyakin

    Dude, how many times I am agnostic and my belief is that no one knows the truth, so I will go around telling there must be a god or there is no God.

    You honestly taking the word, "Atheism" literally, just like how fundamental Christians read the Bible by the book. It is really the same shit, you both cannot proof your view scientifically but you go others you know the truth and bash them, this is how conflicts start.

  • @Balencian Holy strawman argument!

    I said "One doesn't believe in unsubstantiated claims, and the other does"

    You reply with "I am keep on saying the same fucken thing, BOTH OF YOU ARE BBEELLIIEEVVIINNGG IN UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS..."

    How the hell is that you "saying the same fucken thing" ?

    I don't need to prove "unbelief". Those who BELIEVE in the extraordinary, MUST on the other hand provide proof. The onus rests on those making claims.

    Why would I try and "proof" your point?

  • @jyakin

    1) Do you know what "Unsubstantiated claims" means?

    2) Talk about your skewed equality, I can bash them without facts backing me up but they cannot because I know (without any facts) I am right. Sounds exactly like the Inquisitors' mentality.

    3) My point is both of you cannot proof anything, unless you can proof to me 99.5% no higher entity cannot created the universe, your claim is just as unsubstantiated as people who believed God created the universe.

  • @Balencian

    1) Yes.

    2) I can't be a skeptic? And I have an Inquisitorial mentality???????

    I'm in a state of thinking that there is no "higher deity" governing us. If I find that data or facts from proponents of theology are laughingly insufficient to persuade me away from my current neutral position, why should I admit that it may be a valid theory? What keeps me from pointing out the flaws in fantastical theories, and finding them to be unfit as valid theories of creation?

  • @Balencian

    3) Well aren't you just the most amazing case of stunted nihilism. Epistemology, can anyone TRULY prove you anything? If someone said:

    "If you take an even number and add more even numbers on top of it, the result will ALWAYS be an even number"

    Would you really reply with:

    "YOU DON'T KNOW THAT! YOU CAN'T PROVE IT BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER ADDED EVERY EVEN NUMBER IN EXISTENCE TO EVERY OTHER EVEN NUMBER IN EXISTENCE! THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO THINK OTHERWISE SO YOU ARE BOTH EQUALLY STUPID!"

  • @jyakin

    1) I do not understand why you are so persistence in telling me God under religious parameters cannot exist, I never support that stance and from my previous comments, I think many of what Vatican says are just as valid as the Greek Pagans (which means not valid at all). And you failed to proof my point, "fundamental Atheists are just as much of a retard because they too is trying to proof something they don't know without any evidences" wrong because you are running around in circles.

  • @Balencian You asked for "proof" providing a opposition to the existence of a "higher deity". I can't prove "it" can't exist. I can however prove that all interpretations of "it" have been HEAVILY flawed, to the point that I can comfortably say all absolutist religious dogma is incorrect. If you don't believe in religious doctrine, but still think some sort of "architect" deity is possible that is fine. Worshiping it however would be unacceptable.

  • @jyakin

    "If you don't believe in religious doctrine, but still think some sort of "architect" deity is possible that is fine. Worshiping it however would be unacceptable."

    -Thank you, peace.

  • @Balencian Unacceptable to who? Who are you to say what's acceptable and what's not?

  • @jyakin

    anyways I am off now, I will reply at your taunts another day. Bye.

  • WHERE'S THE LACK OF EVIDENCE FOR THE MAGICAL FLYING TEAPOT!!!! TOTALLY FUCKING POSSIBLE. THAT BELIEF SYSTEM SHOULD BE RESPECTED.

  • @jyakin

    The question is can you tell me no higher deity existed, not about the evidence of magical flying teapot.

    Let's go to the classic creationist argument? Who created men or the earth? Some atheists say the Black Hole theory is the answer to everything, but who the heck created the black hole in the first place? Can you explain it to me? Or you don't know as well?

  • @Balencian

    Redundancy. Who created the higher deity then? Oh, he didn't need a creator? He always existed? Then why does the universe?

    Assuming there is a "higher deity". The physical Universe is EXACTLY as old as "it" is. Given the powers of Omniscience/Omnipotence/Omnipr­esence, "its" will, would have been done immediately at "its" start(doesn't have one, because "it" has always existed)

    This means the Universe would then be EXACTLY as old as "god" is. Unless "it" really isn't all powerful.

  • @jyakin

    Thank you for explaining why I chose to be agnostic because neither side can prove themselves to be the correct.

  • @Balencian

    PROVE I AM NOT GOD.

    You can't, therefore you can limit your reasoning into thinking its plausible that I actually am.

  • @jyakin

    If you are a higher entity with supernatural powers, you would just eradicate me from existence instead of trying to threaten me on youtube to change my point of view. But again, I do not believed in flying magical tea ports, why would I believe a higher entity browsing youtube.

    But again, think carefully, what you said just reinforce the fact, we really don't know a lot of things, and that goes along the lines of agnosticism than anything else.
