The creative geniuses behind the anti-childhood obseity ads featuring Barbie certainly seem to think so.
Perhaps the Active Life Movement, the (well-intentioned) organization behind the ads, could benefit from this Onion video--a roundtable discussion of the question, "Should We Be Shaming Obese Children More?"--which uncovers the pros and cons of teaching kids through negative reinforcement.
(Hint to the Active Life Movement: the Onion was kidding!)
