Canadian Officials Ban Pamela Anderson's PETA Ad

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 16th 2010 02:28PM

Pamela Anderson's curvy figure is grabbing headlines again, but this time, it's not her little red swimsuit that's making waves. The actress' latest campaign for PETA, in which she appears clad only in a bikini with her body parts labeled as cuts of meat, was banned in her homeland of Canada, with officials deeming the ad sexist.

The actress flew to Montreal to reveal the ad, which reads,"All Animals Have the Same Parts", only to find that she had been banned by city officials from hosting her planned pro-vegetarian event.

In a statement released to UsMagazine.com, Anderson wrote, "In a city that is known for its exotic dancing and for being progressive and edgy, how sad that woman could be banned from using her own body in a political protest over the suffering of cows and chickens. In some parts of the world, women are forced to cover their whole bodies with burqas -- is that next? I didn't think that Canada would be so puritanical."

A Montreal official responded to Anderson's criticism, saying, "It is not so much controversial, as it goes against all principles public organisations are fighting for in the everlasting battle between men and women."

Dan Matthews, senior vice president of PETA, said, "I think that city officials are confusing 'sexy' with 'sexist'."

Personally, I think Pamela Anderson should be banned period -- from anything and everything. And there are a whole bunch of Hollywood types that should join her in this particular category starting with Paris Hilton and Denise Richards.

I agree with Grey, well spoken, But I am old and pam is still hot, anyone that thinks otherwise is not right in the head........

By Lane

I do not think a half naked Anderson legitimizes PETA. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? It's a legitimate cause, if you are tilted that way - but when did they buy Victoria's Secret?

AS MUCH AS I THINK THAT PAMELA ANDERSON WAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN THE WORLD, I TOTALLY CONGRADULATE CANADA ON THEIR DECISION. SHE ISN'T THE GIRL THAT YOU WOULD BRING HOME TO MEET MAMA, DAD WOULD PROBABLY BE YOUR BEST BUD FOREVER. SHE HAS NO MORALS AT ALL. SHE MARRIED SOME GUY A FEW YEARS BACK WHO PAID HER BILL (250K) AND THEN DIVORCED HIM. SHE BETTER GET ALL SHE CAN NOW, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I SAW A PICTURE OF HER W/O MAKE-UP & TIME & HER LIFE STYLE HAS NOT BEEN KIND TO HER AT ALL. WAKING UP TO THAT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE WHEN SHES ALL DOLLED UP.

I can't recall PETA ever doing an ad using a hot man in a similar way. Maybe it's time to put their money where their mouth is and prove that they are not sexist.

She likes to be eaten and I remember a film where she was sucking on a jerky. Who really cares what this pig thinks

By upurs

possibly these officials need to be checked more often for drugs/alcohol..just like american officials...the behavior that american officials get busted for certainly seems something erratic,not sober in intentions...and they they only get light sentences anyway.

Pam protects trouser snakes by keeping them in her mouth.
