Pamela Anderson is known for many things – being on Baywatch, being in Barb Wire, being Canadian, being vegan, being hot… and also being naked.

According to Business Insider, Anderson has appeared on 151 Playboy covers in 31 countries, including twelve times in the US between 1989 and 2007. According to ABC News, as of 2015, Anderson had previously appeared nude in Playboy 14 times and on the cover 13 times. She was on the cover of the magazine’s January/February 2016 issue, its then-said-to-be-final nude edition. Piece together the numbers however you will, but the fact remains that Anderson has appeared on more Playboy covers than any other model, ever.

Anderson also was the victim of significant theft in the form of a sex tape featuring her and her then-husband. As Rolling Stone wrote:

The Pam and Tommy [Lee] sex tape is the most infamous stolen celebrity artifact on the planet, with a wink usually accompanying the word ‘stolen.’ It wasn’t the first time a video of a famous person fornicating appeared in the public realm, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last. But it was [media] that appealed to people who didn’t usually watch pornos, a voyeuristic dive into the guileless intimacy between two tabloid darlings: Anderson, perennial Playboy cover model and star of Baywatch, and Lee, the hard-partying drummer from Mötley Crüe.

Rolling Stone also clarified that the sex tape is not porn. “[I]t’s a 54-minute home video, depicting about eight minutes of the sex Americans are most likely to sanction: white, straight, married and in love,” they explained.

Call me naive, but I believe that Anderson’s and Lee’s tape was stolen. Further, I believe that Playboy pictorials and covers – no matter how many there may be — and stolen sex tapes do not count as porn. They do foster fame though. In other words: known for being naked.

Anderson recently posted a bizarre tweet threat wherein she first composes some sort of long-form haiku about “Empty Head disease.”

Here is a link to the original tweet, which reads: “Empty Head disease, Porn and PlayStation, We’ve lost many good men to this, GONE, No return. Talk to our children, As young adults we can make our own choices. But, it’s a slippery slope. I [pray emoji] kids can be brave, rebel against it all. Nightmare.”

It’s worth noting the structure of this poetic rant, as well as noting the myriad bananas scattered throughout one of her follow up tweets.

The worst lovers watch porn –
numb,
desensitized ..
needing
more
and more variety
even violent ..

Porn is not what love looks like

Brave
and radical men who read
and who are engaged in the world are sexy.

Vegans make the best lovers – it’s proven

Though these tweets read as fairly off-the-wall at first, Anderson certainly has the right to think whatever she wants about porn. She also has some fair points.

Parents, caregivers and educators should be talking to young people about issues related to reality versus media depictions, as well as finding balance in their lives between and amongst activities. Though the line certainly varies, there is such a thing as too much porn consumption, as well as too many hours at the gaming console.

As she moves further into her rant — “vegans making the best lovers” and who *IS* sexy — I am less inclined to see any merit in her statements. Also, what about the porn-watching vegan? Does the lover-enhancing power of veganism get neutralized by porno viewing, rendering that person’s lover-dom just okay or ordinary? I wonder.

Anderson is well within her rights to say whatever the hell she wants on Twitter — self-righteous and incorrect as it may be. People who attempt to shame her into liking porn because they somehow believe her history should indicate porn approval are, in my view, off mark.

But Anderson should also take a beat to assess and qualify her statements, maybe remembering that her views are not necessarily indicative of everyone’s. Also, she should probably take a moment to reach out to Kenneth Connin. Connin, now 27, lost the use of his arms and legs as the result of an accident at age 18. He has recently found a measure of self-actualization through porn — by working as a performer.

It takes all kinds, Pam. Even amateur Canadian poets.
