Turtle 1, Pam Anderson 1

So, Pamela Anderson is making a film in which her character is to have a pet turtle. But Pam the PETA member wishes for the role of the turtle to be 100% animatronics so that no animals are harmed or used in the production of the film.

According to Ms Anderson, her request will be granted.

Now, I'm not sure any of my tortoises would mind hanging around on a movie set for a few weeks, and I question the decision to go ahead with the special effect. How large is this film's budget, anyway? Will the animators effectively capture the nuances of a turtle's movements and behavior?

Sigh.... But I must admit that I admire Pam's determination and respect for animals, and I can feel the Pam-Turtle/Turtle-Pam love. I think both parties win.
