Panties for Peace

November 8, 2007 11:57 AM

Small 'Panty' Demonstration Held in Rangoon. It seems the Panties for Peace movement (discussed previously) is gaining momentum. And now you too can throw panties at junta leader General Than Shwe at Ready Aim Vote. [Via Lanna Action for Burma.]

I fucking hate the word "panties."

Large panties actually communicate one's point more effectively.

Boomers' bloomers?

The real question is whether these are small panties or big g-strings.

Who knew that all this time Tom Jones was a Burmese dictator?

All we are saying is give pants a chance.

Paltry "panty protester" population picket politicos, pepper proceedings politely per policy. Propaganda paper publishers punished, pwned. Pointless pugilism prevented? Possibly.

I can't see how this protest could possibly work. The power to command women to throw their panties at you is surely one of the prime motivations for people to become oriental despots.

Seems like it's gaining momentum because it takes almost no work and accomplishes next to nothing, except making women have to go out and buy more panties. This is all probably a huge scam orchestrated by Hanes.
