Pamela Anderson ad pulled from US airports



We read:

"An animal rights television commercial featuring former Playboy centrefold Pamela Anderson has been deemed too racy for US airports.

Senior officials from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said the CNN Airport Network had barred the advertisement because of concerns it could be seen by children.

The ad features former Baywatch star Anderson as a scantily clad airport security guard who strips passengers of leather, fur and other skins. The ad had been due to air from September 10 in New York airports, targeting attendees from the fashion industry descending on the city for New York Fashion Week, which gets under way today.

PETA said that CNN Airport Network had said in a letter it was "particularly sensitive because children make up part of the demographic in airports".

Probably a reasonable commercial decision. PETA seem to use nude or near-nude females a lot. It rather makes clear that their appeal is not to reason.
