Pam's Moo-cedes


Pamela Anderson, an active spokesperson for PETA, wants to buy a car. Not just any car, a Mercedes G-55. It's an SUV and lists for a little over $100,000. Problem? Leather! She disapproves of the use of leather in cars. So she writes to Daimler-Benz demanding a G-55 without leather trim.
Here's what I don't understand. Mercedes uses leather in almost all of their fine automobiles. Pamela is supposedly serious about protecting animals. Why would she choose to do business with a car company which uses so much leather? If she is serious about protecting animals, I would think that she would steer clear (double pun) of Mercedes, Acura, Lexus, etc. The only reason that I can think of is that Pammy wants a Mercedes and Pammy is going to get a Mercedes.
I seem to remember that she was "discovered" at a football game as her image was randomly displayed on the stadium's big screen. Hey Pammy, do you know what is used to make footballs?
