Pamela Anderson Ban

It seems that bovver-boot feminists have taken over in Montreal, Canada. City mothers have banned this PETA ad featuring vegetarian and animal-rights activist Pamela Anderson painted with cuts of meat. "It is not so much controversial as it goes against all principles public organizations are fighting for in the everlasting battle of equality between men and women" a confused Montreal spokesperson informed PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). It's a silly ad - my first thoughts on exceptions included fish, octopuses, edible snails and winkles -, but to ban it on grounds of sexism is political correctness gone mad. Does Ms Anderson look like a downtrodden woman who needs equality with men? Of course not. Flaunting her femininity has been the key to her success. Maybe that's what the city mothers are really so miffed about.
