The Islamic religious authorities in Rome are also threatening to take legal action against Benetton for defamation. Real reason Benetton is withdrawing ad.

The Vatican will take legal action against Italian clothing company Benetton to prevent the circulation of an ad featuring Pope Benedict XVI kissing a Muslim imam. "This thread is no good without pictures."

Day 48 Of The FReepathon
Do you Know Why?
There are loyal posters that donate every FReepathon. Some donate several times during every 'thon. But others never donate. Why?
1 My enemies haven't been zotted.
2 The owner doesn't support my candidate.
3 FR won't "upgrade" to "Like" buttons and blinky crap.
4 Someone else will donate.
5 My friend was zotted.
6 I lost my job and have no income.
Only one of those is a legitimate reason.
Support It Or Lose It

It sure would be a shame if someone made a fake Benetton ad of Mad Mo kissing a pig.
Muslims are understanding people and love a good joke.

They were stupid to defame the Pope but it may be that they were foolish to mock islam...time will tell.

Is it a photoshopped work or not? Not quite clear on whether anyone/official has said yea or nay.

Their main clothing brand, the United Colors of Benetton.... Soon to be the Scattered/Scorched Garments of Benetton after a few inevitable bombings by angry islamists.

Other images used in recent years by Benetton have included a young man dying from AIDS, a bloodied newborn baby with uncut umbilical cord, a colorful mix of condoms, the blood stained uniform of a dead Bosnian soldier and pictures of inmates on death row.

How nice....
