| Subject: Idiots: Airbrushed Pics May Get French Health Warning Tue Sep 22, 2009 9:36 pm | |
| Amid the uproar over fashion photos whose models are airbrushed to teeny-tiny perfection, French politicians are proposing a law that would require any such photos to include a health warning, Reuters reports. Digitally altered ads, press photos, campaign art, packaging, and art photography would have to include “Photograph retouched to modify the physical appearance of a person” or be subject to a fine.
“These images can make people believe in a reality that often does not exist,” says one politician, adding that unrealistic photos could lead to psychological problems such as eating disorders.
