Airport Bans PETA Ad Featuring “TSA Agent” Pamela Anderson

Boston’s Logan Airport has decided that a web commercial produced by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and featuring Pamela Anderson as a TSA agent is too “adult” for the facility’s WiFi network even in the midst of invasive pat-downs.

The Boston Herald summarizes the ad as follows:

Anderson, who has appeared in tons of PETA propaganda, plays a scantily clad TSA agent who strips passengers of leather, fur and other animal skins as they pass through her security checkpoint. Now considering the groping that goes on at Logan’s checkpoints on a day-to-day basis, this seems rather topical!

The commercial, which “co-stars” Steve-O, is called “Cruelty Doesn’t Fly,” and PETA may try to get it shown at other airports during the holiday travel season.

PETA has a history of edgy advertising. And in July, another PETA ad featuring Anderson was banned in Canada.

1. Normally, I find the PETA ads make me feel worse about supporting them

It's good to see they're coming out with more creative ideas. I think this one is a great idea as it works from two different angles.
