Panty Power: Use Your Underwear to Fight for Peace in Myanmar!

Questions: How do you scare the bejesus out of the Myanmar (Burma) regime?

Answer: Send them your panties!

You got that right. A new movement is underway to protest for peace and regime change in Myanmar and the methodology, while a tad unorthodox on the surface, apparently has substance to it.

The Panties for Peace campaign plays on the regime leaders’ superstitious fear that contact with a woman’s underpants will rob them of their power. Women around the world are asked to post their panties to local Burmese embassies in a bid to strip the regime of its power and bring an end to its gross violations of human rights, especially those committed against Burma’s women.

The leaders of the Myanmar military regime are make and superstitious. They fear any contact with female undergarments will sap power from them, effectively, emasculating them. (I am NOT making this up.)

To send a loud message to a regime that has murdered thousands of its people, enslaved countless others, subjugates its people by the most humiliating means, and has allowed many thousands of others to be displaced and suffer and die as a result of neglect after cyclone Nargis, well, just pop your panties in an envelope and address them to any Myanmar embassy.
Take THAT, Myanmar government—one leg-hole at a time!
