Hong Kong: It was all for a good cause but a advertisement for animal rights group PETA, starring Playboy model Pamela Anderson, has been banned from another airport after officials in Hong Kong deemed it too racy.

The advertisement for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sees Anderson as a scantily-clad member of airport security staff.
    
She is shown stripping passengers, including Jackass star Steve-O and comedian Andy Dick, off their leather, fur and other animal products as they pass through security
checks.

The advertisement was banned from Logan International Airport in Boston last month and now chiefs at Hong Kong's airport have refused to screen the ad, because it was "considered inappropriate" and might offend some visitors, reported Contactmusic.

The promo was banned from all three New York City airports by officials last year amid fears it was not suitable for passengers with young children.
