Celebrity Activists, Breasts, Chickens and Military Men...

The Diva of Good Taste, Pamela Anderson, is attempting to get the legislators at Kentucky's State Capitol to remove a bust of Harlan Sanders.

The ironies here are just -ahem- finger licking good. (Note to readers - I will resist all juvenile humour attempts to draw a comparison between chickens, Pamela Anderson, statues and busts/breasts.)

We can talk about the fact that Pamela wouldn't know anything about Harlan if she sat across from him in a bus. We can talk about the fact that as a Playboy model and Baywatch actress, she's hardly qualified to discuss the role of oxygen in her life, much less animal care issues. Or perhaps we can discuss the fact that as a California resident and Canadian citizen, she's probably only been to Kentucky once in her life.

Or maybe we'll just let this one slide away and let the story stand on its own merits.

For the record, KFC spokeswoman Laurie Schalow called the move to oust the colonel "just another misguided publicity stunt by PETA in their attempt to create a vegan society."

Public Water Utility buys bottled water.

Do as we Say... Not as we Do...

Just a simple case of non-verbal actions completely overriding verbal words.

The Department of Water Protection for the City of Los Angeles, which spends over $1 million per year to convince the public the tapwater is safe to drink, spent close to $90,000 on bottled water.

I've been there myself. When I was doing communications in Ontario's Ministry of the Environment, one of the initiatives we undertook was to get rid of bottled water inside our offices. And this was BEFORE the Walkerton water disaster struck (2,000 people became ill from drinking contaminated tap water.)

This really is a no-brainer, folks.
