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.
Ok, no more fur coats!!!!!!!! Sign me up! :-) Yowza! This pic is much better than the one in the advertisement.
Well now, that's not the kind of statement you can make and then walk away from. Let's go my friend..DEtails!
I'm thinking that it's bald.
Show us the video or I won't believe you. ;^)
The best I can do is post a pic of me and her together on the dive boat. I would have to scan it at home though, right now I am at work.
"Give Fur the Cold Shoulder" is a half-way clever slogan in English. Does it even make sense when translated to Chinese?
It's more a little bit of everything, especially her freaky face.
They let you get away with EVERYTHING! No fair.
Hey, I thought it'd be shunted to Chat immediately! Mebbe they just didn't notice it. :^)
MMMM Thank you
From the picture in post number 8 it looks like she shaves her fur.
LOL I guess no one can dispute that and ... lets guess... no name dropping?
FReepmail her name if you must.
