PETA's New Pamela Anderson Strip Search Video Banned at Airports
Submitted by DeepDiveAdmin on Sep 9, 2009
PETA is no stranger to controversial campaigns, but now they've managed to have one their racy videos banned at an entirely new location: airports. PETA's latest video features Pamela Anderson playing the role of an airport security guard who forces passengers to remove any clothes that aren't animal friendly. According to the New York Post, the video was scheduled to be played in several New York area airports, but after viewing it officials have decided the video is too provocative for children and are refusing to air it.
OpposingViews asks: Has PETA gone too far?

I like to wear plastics and synthetics, because I know these petroleum based products don't harm any living things. Also, I know that cotton and hemp do not hurt creatures or burn fuel. Shirts and pants just appear on the bushes - and they're trendy too!
-I don't use soap or shave. No reason for that! I just like to stink!
Maybe PETA should realize that there are already enough porn sites on the interenet and they simply cant compete. Perhaps they should try to fill the narrower niche of, oh I don't know, an animal rights organization.
PETA always goes too far. They undermine what they're trying to accomplish by engaging in hyperbolic and histrionic tactics to draw attention to their cause. It diminishes their credibility.
PETA usually seems to only be able to use sex to get there point across. The end of the ad with the alligator and the rabbit actually makes a much stronger point. They would do better with more such creativity and less sex.
The full nudity from the back of the travellers means it would never be played in a public place.
