Pamela Anderson (yes, that Pamela Anderson) writes in today's WSJ (yes, the WSJ) (emphasis in original):

King Kong is my hero. He's big, muscular, sensitive, a terrific actor -- and he's not real. The use of computer-generated imagery has really taken off in Hollywood. So why has Madison Avenue suddenly gone bananas for real apes? Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, with at least 95% of the same DNA. We're closer to them than they are to gorillas, so when I see chimpanzees being used as on-screen comedians, dressed up in silly costumes to sell credit cards, I think, Is this any way to treat a relative?...

This issue has been on my mind a lot lately....

It's not like there's a shortage of struggling starlets willing to embarrass themselves....


Indeed.

Ms. Anderson, an actress, is honorary chair of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
