An odd story to be sure, but that poster was deemed "sexist" by Montreal officials. I suppose you could say that it depicts a woman as a "piece of meat", but it seems unoffensive in every way in the context that it is presented.
I must say she looks pretty good there. She must have visited www.quickweightloss.org, or they have a great air brush. She has looked sketchy the last couple years in undoctored photos I have seen. She is the Queen of plastic surgery though so that may have helped ;).
"We, as public officials representing a municipal government, cannot endorse this image of Ms. Anderson," Josee Rochefort, an official in charge of issuing permits in Montreal's TV and film office, said in an email to PETA.
"It is not so much controversial as it goes against all principles public organizations are fighting for in the everlasting battle of equality between men and women," the email continued.
"In a city that is known for its exotic dancing and for being progressive and edgy, how sad that a woman would be banned from using her own body in a political protest over the suffering of cows and chickens," Anderson told Us Weekly. "I didn't think that Canada would be so puritanical."
A PETA official said the Canadians were confusing "sexy" with "sexist."
