[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Ashley needs to answer to the family of the child whose image she used without permission. That's exploitative, and if she considers herself to be an advocate for children, she needs to be accountable and apologize publicly. [/quote]

Agree, but it was children, not child. Two young black girls and misleading pictures distributed in print ads and mailers and on the home page of her website. They were a centerpiece of her campaign and served to mislead the public and broaden her appeal as a white woman. It's offensive and racist, yet she thinks so little of those little girls that she doesn't even have the decency to respond to their familes and apologize.

I hope the board of election throws her to the curb.[/quote]

Yes! This needs to stop. What's next? College marketing materials with intentionally multicultural student body pictures? Corporate board materials with brown, white and black people?

I'm thrilled your white guilt and boredom combined to create faux outrage.[/quote]

So much ignorance  :roll:  about the way that commercial images are created. People need to consent and sign to the use of their image. They are free to negotiate a fee (if they can get one) and specify how the image is used. These families should be able to sue for five-figure damages considering she probably printed and mailed the images 10,000s of times.  –a media professional[/quote]

Not to mention that a grievance-based typical DC jury would probably throw the book at her, demographics considered and all.[/quote]
