Panty Bomb General Than Shwe!

Activists exasperated at the failure of diplomacy to apply pressure on Burma's military regime are resorting to a new means of protest against the regime's recent crackdown: sending female underwear to Burmese embassies.

Embassies in the UK, Thailand, Australia and Singapore have all been targeted by the "Panties for Peace" campaign, co-ordinated by an activist group based in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

The manoeuvre is a calculated insult to the junta and its leader, General Than Shwe. Superstitious junta members believe that any contact with female undergarments - clean or dirty - will sap them of their power, said Jackie Pollack, a member of the Lanna Action for Burma Committee.

Excerpted from Activists send female underwear to Burmese embassies

Hmm, if the junta really believe panties will sap their power, perhaps the UN should panty bomb their headquarters.

More info from Lanna Action for Burma found here:

After a day of tri-panty dialogue, deep in the golden triangle due to the popular demand, the panties are back. Make sure your panties reach the intended target, SPDC. You can post, deliver or fling your panties at the closest Burmese Embassy any day from today. Clean panties are fine. Or those worn for an hour or two as well. Send early, send often!

This is your chance to use your Panty Power to take away the power from the SPDC and support the people of Burma.

That happens to me too. Before too long after coming into contact with them I end up wanting a nap.

one man's trash is another's treasure.

For some reason, I can easily envision a junta officer with a certain fetish for lacy panties secretly dressing up in them and relishing his image in the mirror. For those guys, perhaps we should include fishnets in the care package ;).

It looks like the girl in the previous post already donated to the cause.

Bonus points for including a maxipad with the panty delivery?

Extra points for used?

Mega extra points for really used?

Just going with the flow here.

@Edgar,
Good eye! I overlooked that element in the Ronald McDonald girl.

@Wagga,
"Just going with the flow" ;)? Really used would be more fun, but that might be illegal, i.e., possible biohazard, so we should probably keep clean.

Fishnets for all!

Heh, I like that pic. If you check where her left hand is you can see why Ronald is smiling. ;-)

Hey, clowns need some action too. As long as they keep it to themselves.

Akubi said...

Personally, I have no problem with clown porn. To each their own, but I do have a problem with serving so many shitty burgers and fries to the masses. Cheap now and expensive later (for all of us not just the Whopper eaters) - like a NegAm loan.

Akubi said...

Ooops, I'm so out of touch with fast food restaurants, I confused Whoppers with Big Macs.

What about male briefs with residual seminal emissions?. Would this drive them to the nearest airport bathroom stall?

If they just so happen to be part of the Looser(tm) "Conservative" Brigade that might be so.

P.S. What's up with the spaceballs? Art should be shared like sushi.
