Topics for Critical Thinking and Writing

  1. Is the ad, showing Mayor Bloomberg as a nanny, funny? Why, or why not? Might anyone, apart perhaps from the mayor, find the ad offensive? Why, or why not?

  2. Is the ad truthful in saying that the mayor “wants to make it illegal to serve ‘sugary drinks’ bigger than 16 oz.”?
