Panties for Peace

The Canadian Press ran a story a few days ago informing us that Canadian women are being asked to send panties to the embassy of Myanmar in Ottawa as a form of protest against thatcountry's military junta. According to the group that launched the campaign -- Panties for Peace! -- the generals fear that contact with women's underwear will sap their power.

I know that the connection is somewhat tenuous but I, for one, applaud PFP!'s initiative. After all, women have been throwing their panties at Tom Jones for years and he certainly has not been oppressing the people of Myanmar.
