Pamela Anderson ad pulled from US airports



We read:
"An animal rights television commercial featuring former Playboy centrefold Pamela Anderson has been deemed too racy for US airports.

Senior officials from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said the CNN Airport Network had barred the advertisement because of concerns it could be seen by children.

The ad features former Baywatch star Anderson as a scantily clad airport security guard who strips passengers of leather, fur and other skins. The ad had been due to air from September 10 in New York airports, targeting attendees from the fashion industry descending on the city for New York Fashion Week, which gets under way today.

PETA said that CNN Airport Network had said in a letter it was "particularly sensitive because children make up part of the demographic in airports".

Probably a reasonable commercial decision. PETA seem to use nude or near-nude females a lot. It rather makes clear that their appeal is not to reason.

PETA - as always - doesn't think things through.

Their "alternative" materials are either all-natural fiber - which means someone, somewhere, is using fertilizers and pesticides to produce it - or synthetic fibers - which are derived from OIL.

So while they may "feel" better pushing Pleather and Cotton, they aren't helping the world one bit by doing so.

I saw the commercial, it wasn't that bad except for two naked asses, and frankly, who hasn't seen that on TV? It looked more like an MTV video than anything.

You would think the PETA-Nazi's could have found someone other than this broken-down tramp to pimp their phony messages. And are we to assume those boots aren't leather? Besides, Pam is a well-known "meat"-eater and there are video's to prove it. What's next PETA, live porno?

Is it just me, or did this video seem disturbingly similar to photos I've seen (correction: inflicted upon my eyes) of the Folsom Street Fair?

I wonder if the PETA-person responsible for hiring Pam is still working there. Dumb move! Don't they look at the internet? Don't they know she's famous (?) for playing the "meat-whistle"?
