Pam Anderson
on China anti-fur ads
Showbiz Desk
SHANGHAI,
China - A year after raising the censors’ hackles with bus stop ads,
Pamela Anderson’s nearly naked image is returning to China on phone
cards telling people not to buy fur. The Canadian-born actress appears
topless with her back to the camera and an arm partly hiding her right
breast behind the slogan, “Give fur the cold shoulder,” in English.
Behind her, 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.” Government-owned China Telecom and People for
the Ethical Treatment of Animals have printed 70,000 of the phone cards,
a toned-down version of Anderson’s bus and train stop ads that were
altered three times to reduce the amount of skin on show before being
approved for public display, the animal rights group said recently.
