Wow. Talk about uncomfortable. It's hard enough as a kid to have to learn about the birds and the bees. It can be equally excruciating when it's your parents telling you about it (although I'm sure we prefer that to school yard hoopla). But what about when your mom is Pam Anderson, who is as famous for the sex tape she made with your dad, Tommy Lee, as she is for anything else in her career?

Tough indeed. Recently the former Baywatch star came clean with her two sons about the sex tape, which may have ultimately been the only choice she had. It's not like everyone in the known universe isn't aware the tape exists, so eventually someone was going to have to say something to the 10- and 12-year old she has with the Motley Crue drummer. Before they sat down to watch the movie Borat, which features both Pam and her sex tape, mommy sat the kids down to do some 'splaining.

Says Anderson, she advised them she and daddy run around naked in the tape and that she "la la la'ed" over the parts she didn't want them to hear. All the boys' friends had seen the tape and they really wanted to see it, so she felt compelled to tell them about it rather than have them hear about it from their pals. Seems like a rational move, right? Don't worry--I'm not going to ask you what you would do if your kid found out about your sex tape. I don't want to know if you made one! What I would say is perhaps it is best to think about how our actions will affect us later on down the line when we are parents (remember when Madonna made that Sex book???).

10 and12 year olds should not be watching R rated movies that have been designated R because of strong sexual content. If her kids friends all started smoking crack, is she going to buy them the dop and the pipe!!!!?????. Who is the parent? I don't care if my kids friends are watching R rated movies before they are adults. Mine won't. Too many parents give into thier kids, becuase of their friends peer pressure on them. When I say no, I mean no. If they do it behind by back, they get in serious trouble. When we raise our kids with that kind of power, we doom our future. There was a time when kids respected their parents word. Now kids just say, "So you said no, I'll just do it behind your back", right to their face. Pamela Anderson is in my book a sad example of a parent. She walks around in hooker clothing around her children and she parades all over TV as a whore. Those kids are going to end up being porn addicted and gettign into the same kind of life style. Today we really should be teaching our kids the value of being a good decent person. Maybe then, all the gangs, drugs and violence will start going away. I fear the world left for my children will be rittled with filth. And there won't be anymore ratings. God save her. She is a mess.

I would like to take this chance to offer my most heartfelt thanks to Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee for making me not feel quite so bad about all of the dumb things that I have done in my life. Now when I start to beat myself up about my poor judgment calls of the past I can pat myself on the back and say that at least I never made a tape that will come back to haunt and humiliate me. However, with technology being what it is today, any couple could be taped without their knowledge.

I hope that this couple can find the right words to take some of the sting out of the ribbing and comments from their peers because that's the issue at hand and what's important; to protect the innocent.

"All the boys' friends had seen the tape and they really wanted to see it, so she felt compelled to tell them about it rather than have them hear about it from their pals." I'm assuming that you're saying the boys' friends had seen the movie Borat which includes the tape, not that her 10- and 12-year-old sons' friends have seen the sex tape (and really wanted them to see it).

Too add to this. My past is my past. Her present is all over the place. I can't believe that she really thought giving into her two sons was better than just putting their foot down and saying, "you are 10-12 year olds, you aren't allowed to watch that movie" I don't think they really have to watch that movie anyways to see their whore mother nude or wearing scant clothing. She is all over the television and in play boy magazines. I am sure her sons have already seen her nude anyways. I am sure they will have a sexually active life very early in life, if not already. Porn and Drugs come from that life style. This is the fate of her two sons, unfortunately. The people they hang around. The partying. Its very sad. I lived my wild life too, but when I became a mom, I made a serious decision to leave that life behind me. My life was kept my private life. Her's is all over the television, in magazines... and the way she dresses on a daily basis around those two very impressionable young men.
She should have said, "I'm sorry son, you aren't old enough to watch that movie. When you are 18, you can do what you want, but in my house, you will abide by my rules". I really can't believe that she gave into them, kids, and let them watch an R rated movie at 10 and 12 years old. This is what is wrong with society. We don't put restrictions on our children. We don't have homes with healthy parents living healthy lifestyles. We don't teach our kids the meaning of the word. Love, Respect, Tolerance, and God.

I don't feel bad for her because an overwhelming majority of parents do something totally stupid before having kids and have to 'fess up to it when their kids are old enough to have heard it from someone else. And I don't think the R rating on Borat has anything to do with anything, that's a personal parenting choice. I DO think that showing her kids the parts that were in Borat (which I never saw, BTW) was more mature than doing nothing. It takes the mystique out of the equation. If you tell your kids flat out that they cannot do something it becomes more of an issue, and becomes something they are determined to do. If you say "Here, this is what your friends saw, and now you know so it's not a big deal" then at least they're not going to sneak around trying to get a copy of the entire tape, or imagine that it's much worse than it is. She did something dumb, and she was honest with her kids about it. I hope it sparked a discussion about doing things that you later regret, and the privacy of your body, and all those issues that I know it would spark in a duscussion with my own kids when they're older.

In Pam's defense, the tape WAS stolen from a safe in her home. She and Tommy fought in court the mass release of the tape and lost. So, it was never intended for public viewing.

Plenty of nice, "moral" married people have done the same thing. It just never went public.

Sara 9-15-2008 @ 10:34AM

Totally agree Elaine - it's not her fault someone went into her house and stole (and made public) what should have been kept private. I didn't understand why her stolen property was rightfully returned to her 'when it was found' - wasn't there some court issues surrounding whether it was legal to publicize it? In any case, when someone comes into your house and takes something - there shouldn't even BE a case whether or not it's still rightfully yours.

I do agree that many MANY 'good folks' have the same thing hidden somewheres in their residence. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that - in fact, I would think it's part of a healthy sex life in a marriage to do 'such' things.

im not quite 100% sure i believe the tape was stolen; to begin with. she is just white trash anyway; aging white trash with money.
