We love Pamela Anderson, not for the obvious reasons (of which there are 2) but for what lays underneath – her kind heart.

What if you were born a monkey? Hey just think about it for a sec, will ya creationists? How much do you really know about our evolutionary cousins?

A Matryoshka type environmental abomination!
