Now I know Ray has recommended that we only post ...

serious stuff on this blog, so I'm willing to do my part. Maybe by drawing attention to this important issue that perhaps is only exceeded in social importance by gay marriage in the national debate, I'll provide a public service.

It's always good when Hollywood celebrities join the fight and draw attention to what we really need to be focused on in this country.

For example, Darryl Hannah's sittin-in-a-tree protest on the heels of President Bush's appeal for a gay-marriage amendment certainly helped dwarf the importance of other lesser issues like Iraq, DU and the first military officer to refuse orders to Iraq for reasons other than family emergency.

Pamela Anderson is planning to strip naked in a shop window - for an anti-fur protest.
The former 'Baywatch' babe, famed for her curvy body, is to pose nude in the window of fashion designer Stella McCartney's London clothes shop on behalf of animal rights group PETA.
Pamela, who is renowned for her work with the group, and Stella, the daughter of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, are both hopeful the stunt will draw attention to PETA's campaign to ban the use of fur in fashion.
A source told Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper: "This is a cause that Pamela is very passionate about. She wants to support Stella's fundraising effort for PETA and is in talks to pose naked in her shop window. There will be other models there too, and it should last for about ten minutes."
Pammy has been an active member of the group since the early 90s and has repeatedly used her fame to campaign for PETA.
Recently, the blonde actress called for a statue of Colonel Sanders in Kentucky to be destroyed - because it glorified cruelty to chickens.

This is Lietta, folks.

Arthur typed that last sentence and was too overwhelmed to finish. He went and threw himself off the deck.

Fell 4 feet and landed on one of my new rose bushes. The dog is licking him back to life as I write this.

The anti-war movement has more...

...beautiful women than the other side.

Will they get nude to save lives?

Nudism is a very effective form of protest!

I would go on a bio-historical rant here, but I'll spare you all that.

Switzer offers to get naked to stop the war all the time but Mrs. Switzer grabs him and gets him back in the house. It's a little game they play. I swear, those kids are like newlyweds.

Wowee-wowee-wow!!

Pamela Anderson in very passionate about PETA. I'm very passionate about Pamela Anderson.

She could be stripping naked to donate money to suicide bombers, most Americans males wouldn't give a rip why she's getting naked.

Statues of Colonels

I love the lady in the bathtub. I love the thought of beautiful naked movie stars in a shop window. And I have to laugh at the absurdity of it and your response and at the statue of the colonel coming down. Somehow, that image gets conflated with the image of the statue of Saddam coming down and, before that, Lenin/Stalin. Our statue decommissionings are getting stupider.

I love beauty, lust, and the odd and like to see them propagated by beautiful movie stars. But maybe you're right and these people are making the cause seem silly. However, it is a serious cause.

I grew up in an animal rights household. My mother spent her time visiting the slaughterhouses and the pig farms of NJ, recording the practices, lobbying for changes. I know that much unnecessary cruelty is inflicted on animals we eat. Unnecessary. That's my problem with it. It doesn't have to be. We can change it if we have the will to do so.

I don't have a problem with killing animals, hunting, eating meat. But it has taken me most of my life to forgive my culture for the unnecessary cruelty we inflict and the sheer obscenity of it. It has taken me quite some effort to get to a place where I don't think less of people who just don't get this, where I can laugh at what is funny -- even if it is connected with what is cruel. So, yeah, it's funny to tear down a statue of Colonel Sanders. I agree.

The unnecessary pain inflicted in the US factory farm system is obscene. It corrupts our culture and all the people associated with it. It's filthy.
