They say that the "photos can lead people to believe in a reality that does not actually exist, and have a detrimental effect on adolescents."
The politicians proposing this law want it to cover newspapers and magazines, as well as "billboard photos and those on product packaging, as well as photos used in political campaigns or artistic photos."
Will be interesting to see what happens.

Aren't all magazine photos retouched? I can't look at an image (or hear a song, given AutoTune) without wondering what it's actually like.
Jezebel.com got its hands on an unretouched cover photo of Faith Hill awhile back, and I've never been able to take a magazine photo seriously since.
