"When you take a multimillion-dollar endorsement from a company, you must also take some responsibility for the company's practices."
So wrote Pamela Anderson, rapping NASCAR's Dale Earnhardt Jr. for his sponsorship of KFC. The busty "Baywatch" and "Stripperella" star -- whose Web site declares her "the millennium's most recognizable icon" -- complains that the food chain's suppliers are scalding chickens alive. And she has put her celebrity to work for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which features her on billboards now going up as part of the anti-KFC campaign.
We can understand why the artificially augmented star might identify with unnaturally buxom factory-farmed hens. But the Center for Consumer Freedom, a restaurant industry-backed nonprofit, raises a good question: As long as we're talking about celebrity responsibility, what about Ms. Anderson's own connections with an organization that The New Yorker magazine characterized as "the most successful radical group in America"?
The issue is PETA's relationship with the Animal Liberation Front, which FBI officials have called one of America's two most serious domestic terror threats. Just last week, for example, Brigham Young University suffered an arson attack, the third act of vandalism since May. In an e-mail to the Salt Lake Tribune, ALF claimed responsibility and vowed more attacks unless the university ceases animal testing.
Notwithstanding claims by PETA leader Ingrid Newkirk that her organization is not violent, her defense of ALF is not merely rhetorical: It included $45,000 for the legal defense of an ALF arsonist accused (and ultimately convicted) of torching a Michigan State research lab.
Then there's Ms. Anderson's inconsistency when it comes to animal testing. PETA's position is clear. As Ms. Newkirk told ABC's John Stossel on camera last year: "It's totally immoral, and I would no more experiment on my neighbor's child than experiment on an animal."
That ought to be of interest to Ms. Anderson, who suffers from Hepatitis C, a virus that puts her at high risk for liver disease and liver cancer. The American Liver Foundation believes that animal testing is essential for finding a cure, and Ms. Anderson herself served in 2002 as grand marshal for an American Liver Foundation fund-raiser. Must have left her PETA T-shirt at home that day.

Pamela Anderson is no vegetarian, I know she eats the meat!

Try doing a search for Pam Anderson and see if you can find one postable photo. I couldn't.
Pam is a skanky ho with an STD.
She don't eat meat, but she sure likes the bone.

Got any CATS?......
Nah, I don't need the spyware
How many miles are left on her 'prime assets'. You can only turn your brake rotors so often before they wear out.
I assume the other is the Earth Liberation Front, which seems to have quieted down some.
All them acronyms and no mention of T&A. :^)
Is this better?
Much
What happened? They take the sock out of her mouth?
She gives dumb blondes a bad name.
