Dumb: Pamela Anderson Attacks Col. Sanders, Kentucky (Debbie Schlussel On the KFC Icon)

Baywatch" ditz Pamela Anderson is on the attack. . . . against Col. Harlan Sanders and the State of Kentucky.

The silicone-valleyed star of FOX's dud sit-com "Stacked" is raving mad at Kentucky for featuring a statue of Sanders, the founder of KFC (formerly, Kentucky Fried Chicken). "The bust of Colonel Sanders stands as a monument to cruelty and has no place in the Kentucky state Capitol," Anderson said in a statement issued by PUTA (People for the Unethical Treatment of Animals and humans).

We're so glad she's found such an important battle to fight.

But, unlike the peroxide airhead, the late Col. Sanders was everything that is great about America. He much deserves his statue in Kentucky's Capitol. Sanders was an entrepreneur, an employer of many (and the restaurant he founded, today, employs hundreds of thousands), gave a lot of money to charity, and was a man of deep faith.

Pam Anderson vs. Col. Sanders: A Ditz Attacks a Great American

Sanders founded Kentucky Fried Chicken when he was 66 and, at age 68, was still living off social security checks as his only income. He did not make it big until his early 80s, when his restaurants flourished. He achieved this through hard work, not plastic surgery and hair bleach. "I believe a feller rusts when he quits workin," he told Stars & Stripes at age 87. "So ya have to keep workin' to keep the rust off."

Then, there is trashy Canadian export Anderson and her contributions to America: Made peroxide, breast implants, and sex tapes popular. Comparing Ms. Pornified to Col. Sanders is a joke. She isn't good enough to lick his boots.

Consider Pammy's own hypocrisy on animal rights. Take her several-years-long, on-again, off-again relationship with "Kid Rock" a/k/a Bob Ritchie, Jr. The self-styled, former drug-dealing, pimpish White rapper wears fur coats galore. And they are real, not faux, fur. Not to mention the leather pants, vests, and jackets adorning him. Yet, we never heard of her kicking him out of bed over it. Apparently, glorifying the pimp/drug culture trumps the founding of one of America's great successful businesses, providing jobs, and giving charity . . . in the World According to Pam Anderson.

Then, there is Pam's PUTA. The group gave money to two domestic terrorist groups responsible for arson, explosions, etc.: ELF (Environmental Liberation Front) and ALF (Animal Liberation Front). But we have yet to see the peroxide prophet disavow the group. Nope. She's more allied with PUTA than ever.

Instead of calling for Kentucky to remove Col. Sanders' statue, all Americans should be calling for FOX to pull Anderson's show, "Stacked." After all, no American broadcast network should feature a show starring a woman who won't denounce domestic terrorists--and constantly sends out joint statements with the terrorists' funders.

(For all our kosher readers, you have a stake in this, too, because this bozo-ette's attack on Col. Sanders is also an attack on the KFC in Israel, which is reportedly kosher.)

Pamela Anderson is a receptical [sic] for sexual release, by multiple users. Nothing more, nothing less.

EWWW!!

[Carry_Okie]

Wow.

[moog]

Making a series of personal attacks? Not addressing the factual issues? Heck that happens all the time on FR--go to a religion thread for example.

A LOT of articles that get posted here do the same so that we conservatives can make a lot of personal attacks against the liberal.

The one that does get attacked here in the article is the venerable Colonel Sanders, one of the best guys around and one of my all-time heroes (not just because of the chicken). So was Pete Harman whose restaurant Mr. Sanders first started in.

And in French it's Putaine.

At least KFC's are real.

EXACTLY MY POINT:)

She recently obtained US citizenship. She considers the US here home.

Good. I don't sleep with foreigners.

Well, Tommy, you never said THAT before.

Too many Amercian beauties to need to do that, however, Rachel McAdams from Wedding Crasher's fame is Canadian, and should be an exception to that rule.

If you haven't seen the Penn & Teller "Bull****" episode on PETA, you owe it to yourself to do so. P&T tear PETA a new one.

I admire Colonel Sanders but did not see the article as personal attacks against him. On the other hand I have moved Debbie Schussel into the unethical arument collumn.

I eat at kentucky Fried Chicken and my family owns stock in Yum! but this tactic of not adddressing the actual complaints and instead making ugly attacks on Anderson is just really sad. But I guess it was suscccessful since got a bunch of Freepers to join in .

Actually, I was more talking about PA against Colonel Sanders. This soils the name of a person who should be celebrated. He was a good genuine person who never gave up his dream.

As far as personal attacks, you have a GOOD point. It's not usually a tactic of mine to do, though I often make jokes/sarcasm about something.

Being a teacher, I see what you are talking about ALL the time (especially here). I do try to make sure I don't respond the same way. Thanks for the reminder.

I noticed Pam sitting ringside (with Cindy Crawford) at the extreme fighting match on TV a few nights ago (she tried to cover her face when the camera focused on her). I guess she likes seeing cruelty between humans but not chickens.

Given you (perfectly understandable) admiration of Colonel Sanders it's totally reasonable to object to attacks against him and to be tempted to respond in kind.


Its just that at Freep we see a dozen emotional appeals a day and we need to maintain some critical evaluation. I appreciate your response.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

It makes me want to have some with mashed potatoes and gravy with hot biscuits for dinner.

I had some just the other day, and the breast I got with my six-piece dinner was absolutely huge. So were the wings. Someone is doing something right by chickens, and it ain't Pamela Anderson.

"I did some work at a chicken farm where they use it for Campbell's soup and other things. Anyone who thinks those chickens were worth saving is full of chicken crap." .............................................................................My brothers company makes food conveyors....he said he worked in a pot pie factory, where truck loads of live chickens enter one end and truck loads of frozen pies exit. Reminds me of a cartoon. The chickens and other animals are here for us to eat. enjoy.

And people can do so without having to make it personal I believe.

I remember watching a movie about the Cantonese in China one time (it was an OLD movie). It said they had a motto that they eat everything with four legs except a table and everything with wings except an airplane (or something like that). I wonder why PETA never goes there.

LOL! ...What can I say?

She doesn't need to sing. Merely breath. Deeply.
