World leaders are shown kissing in digitally manipulated images that are part of Benetton's new "unhate" ad campaign promoting tolerance. The retailer withdrew an advertisement using an image of Pope Benedict kissing an imam on the mouth after the Vatican protested at its inappropriate 'shock value.'

The bumper sticker has never been a medium for high art, but one could argue that a select few have achieved relative greatness. We've all seen that one that nearly made us run off the road as we tried to get close enough to snap a picture of it.

Of course, more often than not, those bumper-sticker-related auto collisions are caused by the stupid, reprehensible or otherwise baffling examples of the art form. In honor of bad taste, we gathered a small selection of our favorite, terrible bumper stickers, so you can enjoy them while you're NOT driving.
