Morgan's Media Example

The response I seem to have about every media example: interesting. In most people's minds, a kiss on the lips is a way to show affection to someone you care for romantically. A kiss on the cheek or hand might be used to show friendship or mutual respect. Though proclaiming it is an "unhate" campaign, I wonder if showing these national leaders kissing on the lips is a form of mockery. Even the author of the write-up about the pictures uses the statement "..images of the smooching world leaders" as if he doesn't take it seriously. On the article you can even vote for your favorite kiss. It feels like a joke to me.
