Ongoing investigations into the conditions and quality of life people are made to endure because of wrongful action and reporting on such might be "staged" in the fact that it's organized and presented, but it isn't negatively staged.

Otherwise the investigations overseas into horrors we never see wouldn't get revealed to us. And this shit happens in our own backyard.

Am I exploiting someone with my camera simply because I'm making you confront a visual image of something I could very well have painted with a brush - or words? If I bring a human element into a piece to tell you what impact such actions are having on fellow members of our race, am I exploiting someone or am I detailing reality in a way that makes you (not you personally, but the general you) uncomfortable?

This is just a stunt to pull attention away from the mining. Simple stuff. Don't have a good comeback to an opponent? Make your opponent look bad.

I agree. I don't think it's appropriate to use pictures of naked children in any kind of advertisement.

would you consider this to be child porn? or advertisment?
and how do you bring the therm "advertisment" into this? surely trying to raise the awareness of the general public on a issue could be called "advertisment" if one is trying to sell a product.
but in the case of raising awareness on a issue wich is a crime or other injustifiable action the term "advertisment" makes you sound like some coldhearted schwarzenegger machine.
or did you use this term on purpose to show your disregard towards that families claims?

The only advert this could be used for is mothercares size zero range.
Personally I'd rather masturbate to that Kellogs Special K advert with the swimwear model but I guess its a matter of taste.

Hatters used to use a chemical (I think it was mercury) in hats (maybe for rigidity, or to glue some parts together), and when the mercury(?) fumes were breathed by the hatter daily, they slowly accumulated a negative effect, sometimes causing them to lose their minds.

What I find most disturbing is that best estimates have 90% of the earth's coal reserves depleted by 2060... Why are we still investing so much money into an industry that destroys the environment, and is dying anyway? I don't get it.

Human beings shun change, they would rather stick to what they know than what is better for them.
