Nude Pamela Anderson poses for China censor
December 15, 2004
Beijing - 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. - AP
