Boobquake

Has any one heard of this? This was sent to me and frankly I don't give a damn because I'm a cat and boobs do nothing for me but I thought I'd pass this on for the greater good. Basically some Iranian dude named Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi pissed off some womens' groups around the world when he claimed that promiscuous women were responsible for literally making the earth move. He then went on to add, "Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes." This Jennifer McCreight character created a Facebook page aptly titled "Boobquake" as a protest. Basically she's urging women to show some cleave on April 26th (That's Monday for you calendarically deprived!). I will support this cause because this dude is clearly a raving idiot. So yeah head on over to Boobquake on Facebook and see what it's all about. I'll post the text from it after this blog. ughh.. gotta run... my brother is peering over my shoulder repeating "Show me the boobies." Humans are so weird. Ru out!


Help fight supernatural thinking and the oppression of women, just by showing your cleavage!

"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media. Sedighi is Tehran's acting Friday prayer leader.


I have a modest proposal.


Sedighi claims that not dressing modestly causes earthquakes. If so, we should be able to test this claim scientifically. You all remember the homeopathy overdose?


Time for a Boobqauke.


On Monday, April 26th, I will wear the most cleavage-showing shirt I own. Yes, the one usually reserved for a night on the town. I encourage other female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts. Or short shorts, if that's your preferred form of immodesty. With the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake. If not, I'm sure Sedighi can come up with a rational explanation for why the ground didn't rumble. And if we really get through to him, maybe it'll be one involving plate tectonics.


So, who's with me? I may be a D cup, but that will probably only produce a slight tremor on its own. If you'll be joining me on twitter, use the tag #boobquake!
