Panties From Heaven

I just sent this email to a friend of mine:

Hey, I just found something far more entertaining than my last email to you. Apparently, the is a democracy/civil rights group called Lanna Action for Burma that has the most novel little protest called the Panty Power Campaign.

See here for details.

Supposedly, in Burmese culture, men avoid ladies’ undergarments, for fear that they drain men of their power. Lanna Action for Burma are calling on women worldwide to mail their panties to their respective Burmese embassies, or directly to the military regime’s headquarters, etc., etc...

Unfortunately, I don’t really have a panty fetish. But if I did, boy, I would have THE MOST BRILLIANT IDEA IN THE UNIVERSE!

You see, what I would do is this: Start up a web page called something to the effect of “Union of Myanmar State Peace and Development Council American Postal Processing Center.”

Attached would be the instructions:

Please send all mail intended for Senior General Than Shwe or the State Peace and Development Council to this address:

[MY ADDRESS]
Baltimore, MD 21202

Then I could just fill up my bedroom with all the strange panties from floor to ceiling and swim through them whenever I wanted to.

I mean, sure, I guess it would be a strike against freedom, but if I had a “P” fetish and all those panties, what the fuck would I care? I’d be in panty heaven!
