Canada bans 'sexist' Anderson advert

Pamela Anderson PA 
Canada have banned a vegetarian advert featuring Pamela Anderson in a string bikini for being "sexist".
The Anderson-fronted campaign is helping to promote People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), reports Sky.com.
The picture shows the actress covered in butcher's labels such as "rump", "ribs" and "breast".
Canadian officials claimed the banner went against the "battle of equality between men and women".
Anderson slammed the decision. "In some parts of the world, women are forced to cover their whole bodies with burkas - is that next? I didn't think that Canada would be so puritanical."
Peta's senior vice president Dan Mathews added: "I think that city officials are confusing 'sexy' with 'sexist'."
