Pamela Anderson PETA Poster Shot Down By Montreal


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."

Fifth Mel Gibson Tape Claims He is Broke

While it is possible he isn't hurting for money as he claims, but he is certainly a broken man in the eyes of anyone that listens to him in these rants. His career is likely in dire straits, although since he owns enough he could still pop out movies if he really wanted to.

This 5th tape is probably the most disturbing. Not because he uses racist rants, but because he is really quite mad. His anger is so intense that you expect him to have a heart attack in the middle of it. It is scary.

In her defense, Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his eight-month-old daughter remains rather composed listening to the insane banter of Gibson. She says many times that he is violent, and that it is his fault while he blames her for all of his troubles.

These "troubles" he claims are financial and that it is her fault. Saying he spent way too much money on her, that she was a failure, and even that she was a terrible mother. She defended herself admirably in the ridiculous situation she was in. Gibson is OUT OF HIS MIND and could use some herbal phentermine at the very least.

This guy is scary.

Grigorieva Denies Releasing Mel Gibson's Racist Rant

We were all treated to an expletive riddled rant from Mel Gibson Friday directed at his former lover Oksana Grigorieva. He called her every name in the book and degraded her in as many ways as he could think of to shout at her over the phone. he even capped it off with some racist expletives that has upset quite a few out in the world.

Today, Grigorieva denied that she released the audio tape of Gibson's rants although speculation was that she was the only one that could have. Following the tape's release, Gibson's talent agency dropped the star, reportedly for being a liability.

Caught by paparazzi photographers running errands this weekend, Grigorieva tried to stay mum on the subject, saying that details "will come out in the right time."

Grigorieva told photographers from gossip website X17online.com that she had "no idea" who was releasing the tapes to Radar and that she thought it was "terrible" that the audio had gone viral.

When asked if she had meant for the tapes to go public she said, "Not at all."

Gibson has little work coming his way I'm guessing, so don't be surprised if he is in some sort of apidexin scam in the future.

Remember Studying For the SAT?

My sister just got done with high school and she had all the fun of taking all the college entrance exams and the infamous SAT. While it has been a while for me I remember one thing that wasn't done when I was taking it. WE didn't have a whole lot of sat prep courses available to us. I don't know if it was just poor counseling at our school, but I am pretty sure I went into that test completely blind.

These days it isn't so awful for SAT practice testing. You can go online and find tons of SAT prep courses to help get prepared for it (I was in early internet days where all there was to do was e-mail and chat :-/). I don't remember even taking the SAT to be honest. I only remember taking the ACT. I did a pACT which is a practice test once before it and then I took the ACT a few weeks later.

Must be nice having all this available now for studying. It certainly would ahve helped us when we were taking these tests.
