French Deputies Want Labels On Photo-Altered Models

Posted by timothy on from the ministry-of-culture dept.

Psychophrenes writes "A number of French deputies are proposing to pass a law requiring all published photos that were modified by means of an image manipulation program to include a statement indicating that 'the photo was altered in order to modify the appearance of a person.' This indication is to be mandatory on all ads, packaging images, political posters and even art photos, and is considered a matter of public health, aimed at fighting anorexia." The related article is in French, but Google Translate does a pretty good job.

    Glenn Beck apologizes to Obama?

    I'm curious. What should he apologize for? Beck apologizing for merely disagreeing with the President would certainly be a cats-and-dogs-living-together occurrence. I'm not holding my breath waiting for Cindy Sheehan to apologize to the last President for disagreeing with him.
