As
I read, however, I was distracted by two pictures: one of a young girl
dressed provocatively with her face cropped out, and another being a
cartoon of a girl upside-down, poledancing. The images belonged to the
Coyote Ugly Saloon and Miss Pole Dance Oklahoma 2013 ads adjacent to the
article. Variety Care is fighting an uphill battle against teen
pregnancy, and the effect of your important article was, in my mind,
completely nullified by your ad placement.
As
a future OB-GYN resident who will be dealing with teens in the clinic
everyday, I hope you will be more thoughtful about the messages.
