In one of the strangest protest ideas ever seen, a group in Quebec is asking women all over the world to send their panties to Burma to pressure the government towards democratic reforms—which will be effective since apparently Burma’s military leaders are superstitious enough to believe that “contact with women’s underwear will sap them of their power.” This is actually like the opposite of a kooky fetish.
Human rights activists say the leaders believe that contact with women’s underwear will sap them of their power.
Let me repeat that again:
Human rights activists say the leaders believe that contact with women’s underwear will sap them of their power.
This is a strange, strange world we live in.
