The message behind the latest Belgian Amnesty International celebrity campaign is that you can "Torture a man and he will tell you anything." The posters are part of the organization's Stop Torture campaign and they have well-known faces looking absolutely beat up and each icon is shown making a confession that you'd never hear uttered from their mouths.
This is probably the only time ever you'll see Iggy Pop claiming that the future of rock 'n' roll is Justin Beiber, Karl Lagerfeld defending the style of a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops, or the Dalai Lama claiming that a man who doesn't own a Rolex by the time he's 50 has missed out on life. The shocking ads definitely make you look twice and urge people to take a stand against torture.
