Power to the Panties!
The Burmese military is facing an unexpected threat from female opponents to its regime – a deluge of panties dispatched to the country’s embassies in a “culturally insulting gesture of protest” against its recent crackdown on protestors.
The Panties for Peace initiative is not merely symbolic, since the the group behind the campaign – Lanna Action for Burma – claims “superstitious generals, especially junta leader General Than Shwe… believe that contact with women’s underwear saps them of power.”
Spokeswoman Liz Hilton said: “It’s an extremely strong message in Burmese and in all Southeast Asian culture.” Adding that “women in Thailand, Australia, Singapore, England and other European countries have started sending or delivering their underwear to Myanmar missions following informal coordination among activist organisations and individuals.”
Quite how many pairs of panties will be required before Than Shwe is rendered powerless is not noted, but the Lanna Action for Burma website is urging women to “post, deliver or fling your panties at the closest Burmese Embassy any day from today.” The Lanna Action for Burma website also says: “After a day of tri-panty dialogue, deep in the golden triangle due to the popular demand, the panties are back.”
Note: Reports that Britney Spears is an active supporter of Panties for Peace are unconfirmed and you should note the “golden triangle” in question is a geographical reference, and not a reference to the Britney Spears upskirt photos. Also, if you like panties you can click the photo above you can see more of Yoshi in this college cheerleaders panties gallery. You’ll also find a free site with two pages of video clips featuring Denise in her panties in some coed schoolgirl movies here.
