Pamela Anderson: ‘Porn is for losers’
NEW YORK
Former Playboy model Pamela Anderson has teamed with a rabbi to speak out against pornography.
An opinion piece by Anderson and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach published by the Wall Street Journal cites the latest sexting scandal involving former Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner in calling for “an honest dialogue” about the dangers of pornography and “an honor code to tamp it down.”
The essay calls pornography “a public hazard of unprecedented seriousness.” It closes by saying “porn is for losers” and calls it “a boring wasteful and dead-end outlet for people too lazy to reap the ample rewards of healthy sexuality.”
Anderson has appeared on the cover of Playboy 14 times, most recently in December for the magazine’s final nude issue.
Get your own ‘Dory’
RUSKIN, Fla.
Someday soon, you might be able to find Disney’s beloved “Dory” in your own aquarium – and the beautiful blue tang fish will be bred in Florida, not the Pacific Ocean.
After six years of study, a team of researchers at the University of Florida, along with the Rising Tide Conservation, have figured out how to breed the saltwater fish in tanks for the first time. This could be a boon to Florida’s $27 million aquaculture industry, which breeds and raises fish for home aquariums.
The star of the popular animated Disney movie “Finding Dory” has become a popular wish for aquarium hobbyists.
