Panties for Peace!

Bikini raids Myanmar for democracy

And so the organisers, who launched the Canadian edition of the Panties for Peace! Campaign this week, asked the women to send their undergarments to Myanmar embassy in Ottawa, to shame Myanmar’s ruling junta into giving citizens greater access to humanitarian aid and human rights.

Myanmar’s embassies in Europe, Australia and Brazil, among other places, have been receiving panties in the mail.

The campaign came about because Burmese have a superstition that if a man touches a woman’s underwear he will lose his power and Myanmar’s military junta is reportedly very superstitious

Because we could use some comic relief.
