Officials that approve public ads for the city of Montreal seem to think so.

Apparently, they told Pam that she couldn’t unveil her new ad that promotes vegetarianism as planned because it ” goes against all principles public organizations are fighting for in the everlasting battle of equality between men and women”.

What?

Considering the very liberal attitude Montreal generally has for anything to do with sex or sensuality, this is a bit of a head scratcher. 

Pam responded in a statement,  ”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. n some parts of the world, women are forced to cover their whole bodies with burqas—is that next? I didn’t think that Canada would be so puritanical.”  Pam also added in a press conference,  ”I think they’re [the officials] confusing sexy with sexist”.

Of  course, any sort of scandal or conflict PETA creates is great news for them publicity wise, so complain as they might, I don’t think they’re too crushed or upset by the decision, as odd as it is.
