Peer Response-Carrie Jo

I recently read Carrie Jo's blog regarding anti-smoking ads published in France. These two ads formed the basis of a much heated discussion not only in France, but around the world, in regards to young people smoking. I felt that Carrie Jo also did a swell job of noting the issue of smoking, but also the fact that the issue of child pornography was brought into the discussion as well. The reason this facet was brought into the scene was because of the way the media portrayed the ad. Unfortunately, something was made of nothing in regards to this issue; something that is not uncommon when it comes to the media. I feel that the media should keep their nose out of ads regarding the well-being of people. However, I understand this is their job. I would like to see, which I'm sure Carrie Jo would also, more regulation placed on media coverage. In conclusion, Carrie Jo did a very fine job in her blog and I felt that she covered all necessary material in order to give a complete report on the issue.
