BERLIN (Reuters) - Former Baywatch star and Playboy model Traci Bingham stopped traffic in Berlin by wearing a lettuce bikini to promote vegetarianism.

Bingham, who played the life-guard Jordan in the hit U.S. television series, spent more than half an hour Thursday posing for the cameras wiggling between a famous steak restaurant and Berlin's Kurfuerstendamm shopping street.

The protest was organized by the animal rights group PETA. Bingham's bikini of fake lettuce leaves carried a sign reading "Go Vegetarian!"

"I love to wear lettuce because I don't like to wear fur," said 34-year-old Bingham.

The restaurant sponsored a meat industry congress in Berlin this year. The manager asked Bingham to leave when she entered the restaurant with a crowd of reporters to order a vegetarian meal.

Gee, I snuck that picture in and you're picky about who it is?

[apochromat]

It was my way of saying she's actually cute.

[apochromat]

Just curious, do you know who she is?

[dubyagee]

P.A.U.S.E.= People Against Ugly Silicone Enhancement.

Heh heh heh...clever...

[big'ol_freeper]

Let-tuce keep in mind that these PETA pukes are loonies.

[apochromat]

As I was trying to ask you -- I'm just curious. Do you know who she is?

[Conservative Chicagoan]

ARe there long standing ties between the animal rightists and pornographers?

[DeFault User]

...hold the sillycones....hold the lettuce....fake boobs do upset us....

[Conservative Chicagoan]

Well it looks like the ties are quite large.

[Conservative Chicagoan]

Don't consider it. YOu will want to be a strong person not a weak vegetarian freak!

[Smile-n-Win]

"I'm glad I don't have to marry her!"

I'm pretty sure her husband feels differently.

How would you feel? ... having to marry an ultra-left-wing Michael Jackson lookalike whose skin color is (propably) different from yours, and who would throw a tantrum whenever she caught you eating meat?

One may find those oversized silicon humps attractive--for a while. But I certainly wouldn't like to be "sentenced" to have this unnaturally-looking ersatz woman as my "one and only" for the rest of my life!

Believe me, if you want to find a really attractive girl, find a Conservative!

[Enterprise]

I would prefer to hold those "cabbages."

[apochromat]

A dynamic duo if I ever saw one. HOoooorAY for HOllywooOD!

[apochromat]

Sometimes it's better to eat the meat than toss the salad.

Hey, when you guys get old like me you won't be so damned picky!

Maybe! LOL! I'll relate a quick little anecdote concerning this. I was talking to a buddy in the Army once and we were discussing this very topic. He said he liked fake boobs and I was listing the reasons why I didn't (they look icky is my number 1). Anyway, he finally got to his bottom line argument which was- "I don't care, they're big and they got skin covering 'em".

That pretty much grossed me out. (And don't suggest I should have recommended John Holmes to the guy ;-) )

[Prodigal Son]

Oh, I believe they are fake. I was just pointing out in my comment to that poster that I had simply proclaimed fake boobs grotesque. I didn't claim one way or the other that this woman has them. If I had to bet on it though, I'd say they are. But if I even suspect a woman has fake ones- she is instantly unnattractive to me. It gives me the willies to think about touching a fake breast (no pun intended).I'd rather milk a goat.

I understand why women do it and I guess I understand why some guys like it- but it just aint for me.

[2Trievers]

You silly pants, you! LOL &;-)

[Ole Okie]

And she's so skinny her ribs show.

And she hasn't seen her feet since her last boob job.

Dolly Parton lite?
