Pamela Lee Anderson and the Best Poolside Reading Ever
It’s not every day that a small, important book ends up in the hands of a big, well-known star, sunning, in a bikini, in Malibu.
This week the stars aligned, as Pamela Anderson was spotted reading “Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing, and the Erosion of Integrity,” a book Kirkus called “a work of honesty and, yes, integrity.”

Close-up:

Let others give advice or offer critical analysis. We tracked down the book’s author, Anne Elizabeth Moore, who these days can be found in the the busy halls of the Anti-Advertising Agency, among other places, for a response:
Of all of the images I never ever thought I would come across in my life, Pamela Anderson reading my little treatise on the rampant corporatization of culture and dwindling of democracy in a bikini is, well, the entirety of the list. Seriously. W. T. F., IMHO.
And if I weren’t able to look at it as radical leftist politics preaching outside the choir — far, far, outside — I’d be really weirded out. By the pictures of Pamela Anderson reading my little treatise on the rampant corporatization of culture and dwindling of democracy in a bikini.

Holy crap. Color me speechless.

Yeah, Deanna, I’m with you there. Day three: still funny.
And who’da thunk, I’ve known some of the best comedy writers this country has to offer, but Pamela Anderson takes the cake.

I have to say, I love it! That’ll show me to make presumptions about folks I’ve never met, based on their pop culture identity.

I’m still getting over the “she can read?” part of my amazement. I’ll deal with the reading choice in a couple more days.
