United Colors of Benetton spend millions of dollars on an international advertising campaign, spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on state of the art photo manipulation for the thousands of hours of work it must have taken the artists to achieve realistic looking kisses, and even after all that time and money they still can't get the leaders of Israel and Palestine to kiss, our research below shows.
