A naked Pamela Anderson will beckon from Chinese billboards in a new anti-fur campaign _ if the former "Baywatch" star can get past the censors.
The posters, featuring the slogan "Give fur the cold shoulder" in English, show the Canadian-born actress topless with her back to the camera and an arm partly hiding her right breast.
An image of falling snow appears above Chinese characters reading "cold shoulders are nothing compared to the pain they feel," and "please don't wear fur."
China's straight-laced media regulators have yet to give the posters a green light, said Jason Baker, a Hong Kong-based spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, which is promoting the anti-fur campaign.
"Depending on the censors, they may be concerned about it, but it's very tastefully done," Baker said.
"We may end up having to crop (the photo) a bit."
Chinese officials last week complained advertisers were using too much sexual innuendo and announced stricter screening rules for television ads.
According to PETA, China was the origin of 40 percent of all American fur imports in 2000.
"I'm perfectly happy to bare my skin if it will help save animals' skins," Anderson was quoted as saying in the statement.
PETA also plans to post the Anderson pictures in tropical Singapore, whose consumers it said are being increasingly targeted by the fur industry.
Anderson, now a columnist for Jane magazine, is best known for her role in "Baywatch" and was formerly married to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. She has been a longtime PETA and animal rights supporter.
"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
She may be a vegetarian, but we all know she eats the meat!
don't those ugly muk boots of hers have fur? leather? She is as friendly to the environment as Babs Streisand is likely to hang her laundry outside to dry...
When I ate chicken at a KFC during a PETA protest, I noted aloud how many of them had leather boots, wallets, etc. They also drove cars...
One day she's gonna explosively decompress.
I was once fixed up on a blind date by my Aunt. She got the girl to call me first so we could talk. She asked, tentatively, if I'd mind if she wore her fur coat out. I told her I wouldn't care if she wore a zoo. :^)
I agree. She was hot as the Labatt's girl from Vancouver but now she is just scary --and has been scary for a while. The fake boobs and collagen lips just don't look right.
What is with these beautiful Hollywood actresses getting all of this horrible-looking plastic surgery anyways? Seen Nicole Kidman lately?
PETA in China...have they ever been to the open markets in China.
They are "on the spot" slaugherhouses of everything from dogs to cats, ducks, geese, rats, you name it they have it and will kill it for you right there in the market, or in front of the restaurant (if the restaurant offers "fresh" choices.)
Anyway, I saw a great bumper sticker the other day and would love to get one for members of my family. It said at the top "I support PETA" and then underneath in large letters "PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS."
Pray for W and Merry Christmas to Our Troops
Next stop: She'll be mistaken for Joan Rivers.
Look at the goofass kneeling on the left. He has that "Yeah, I did her..." look on his face.
Yeah, right. Go on witcha bad self, stud.
What with all the Chinese laborers pounding their puds behind the billboards, what'll I be able to buy when I shop at Wal-Marts?
I pray daily for such things as PETA, Greenpeace, ELF, ALF, etc. to visit themselves upon countries like China, Russia, Iran, N. Korea, etc.
You comments ah vely laciarry insensitive;)
Still "News"-worthy, as of this writing!
There's gotta be a joke in here somewhere about "eating meat"... Do it, don't do it, Pam does it... Something like that.
Surprising!
I'll bet you she has a fur!
While a well known Hollywood actress is among my sexual conquests, sadly, it was not Pam. :(
