Pamela's bosom
As a young adult, Pam's mammaries were modest in scale, but at around the age of 22, she had them enhanced for the first time, either with silicone or silicone bags filled with saline solution. Thereafter her breasts continued to grow until some shrinkage was noticed at about the age of 29. It is estimated that the amount of silicon residing in Pam's chest could be used to make 23 Pentium motherboards.(1)
Field testing of breast implants has notoriously been carried out mostly on women. But toxicity tests have been conducted on animals, while other animal tests ensured the surgical techniques and anaesthetics used are safe for humans.
Pam's implants are also unfriendly to the environment. They are inert, resistant to extremes of temperature, and highly resistant to weathering and oxidation, which means they'll be hanging around in the ground long after her body has decomposed.
On another level also, her bosoms represent a double standard at work. In October 2003, Pam wrote to David Novak, CEO of Yum! Brands, parent company of KFC, apparently oblivious to the irony of her complaint. "I can't understand," she said, "why a company that claims to care about animal welfare would continue to allow chickens to be bred and drugged to be so top-heavy that they can barely walk."(2)
