Burma Endures Panty Assault



The government of Myanmar is full of evil fucks, plain and simple. Because of out of control inflation and a need for more electricity, people began protesting earlier this year. Last month the country's monks joined the protests and began marching. The junta brought in soldiers and crushed the peaceful protests. Thousands of monks were killed and arrested. Internet access was shut down, visas were denied for foreign journalists. For days, soldiers raided homes and monasteries, dragging away dissidents and killing others.

Today, the Burmese people’s normal state of fear and oppression has returned. The streets are quiet and will probably remain so for a long time. Many people around the world were disappointed by the failure of foreign countries to apply pressure on the military regime and they are fighting back. With panties.

Activists in Thailand began a campaign called, “Panties for Peace.” Women are being asked to send their panties to Myanmar embassies around the world because the regimes military leaders believe women’s panties will “sap them of their power.” It’s kind of like kryptonite to Superman, except it’s panties and they are murderous thugs.


Not only are they brutal, but they are also very superstitious. They believe that touching a woman's pants or sarong will make them lose their strength.


I can tell them right now, that it will not. As a matter of fact, it might give them an erection, depending on what is happening at the moment.


So far, hundreds of pairs of pants have been posted, according to another campaigner, Liz Hilton. "One group sent 140 pairs to the Burmese embassy in Geneva," she said.


This may be the greatest protest in the history of mankind. Too bad it was borne out of frustration.


Condemnation by the United Nations and governments around the world have had no impact on the Burmese regime. This is a way of trying to reach them where they will feel it.


So, for now, take off your filthy panties and send them to a Myanmar embassy.


    Address For Thailand:
    Myanmar Embassy
    132 Sathorn Nua Road
    Bangkok



This is your chance to use your Panty Power to take away the power from the SPDC. You can post, deliver or fling your panties at the closest Burmese Embassy any day from today. Send early, send often.


I'd do it if I had panties. As it is, I have no power over those bastards because I'm not a cross dresser.

The established print media (i.e. newspapers, newspapers web sites) is a much better source for factual, relevant information.



Only just, though. And, it really depends on the paper you're talking about. A lot of newspapers are essentially tabloid rags, that are just as bad as the TV media.



That's why I put the qualifier, established in that sentence.

I know people were killed, but really Thousands of monks? Where was that reported?

News coverage of Burma disappeared so quickly it seems. And I barely saw anything mentioning the protests on the US media. It makes me sad that I have to really hunt for real news, but if I want to know whether or not Britney Spears in wearing underwear today I can just open any newspaper or flip any channel on TV. mad



well, Obviously Britney can't donate.

well...of course it was hardly covered. I was pissed enough to actually write a letter to my local news station.

Anyway...


Thousands of monks were killed and arrested



Not nessicarily in that order. Mostly arrested, and haven't been heard from since.
I haven't heard anything about them ever since then either! Good thing that I know the important news, like that the new winter fashions are in!




Doh, I was too shocked about the word killed that I didn't even pay attention to the words "and arrested". Still very upsetting of course. Karma is really gonna bite those officials in the ass, and I can't wait to step on the dung beetle they get reincarnated into in the next life.

Aristophanes wrote this story 2000 years ago with his play, Lysistrata. Liz leads her countrywomen to withold sex until their husbands end the Peloponnesian War. A very funny anti-war play.

Um. I would just like to inform everyone here that I am the dictator of a small country, and I have recently cracked down on pro-democracy protests as well. It would be a horrible experience if my manhood were to be sapped by the arrival of large quantities of unexpected womens underwear in unmarked packages in the mail.

Did I mention I'm a horrible dictator? A very very bad man.
