Send your panties to Myanmar!
The oppressive regime in Burma (Myanmar) is currently holding 2500 people in labor camps because they were protesting the Government. The protestors are pro-democracy, many of whom are Buddhist monks. The Burmese government has been screwing up for years, but now there's a way to get them back.
Send your panties to their Embassy!
Evidently, the country's superstitious generals, especially junta leader Gen. Than Shwe, believe that contact with women's underwear saps them of power.
"It's an extremely strong message in Burmese and in all Southeast Asian culture," said Liz Hilton, who supports an activist group that launched the "Panties for Peace" drive earlier this week.

The Lanna Action for Burma Web site writes: "You can post, deliver or fling your panties at the closest Burmese Embassy any day from today. Send early, send often!"
Now we all know what to do with all that wedding lingerie that never gets any play since we've nearly doubled our wedding weight.

I have some LOVELY, giant white "panties" to send. Do they want the tops too?
What, I can't write nasty things but you can put ladies underwear up? I don't understand the rules.
Do you think the Burmese would appreciate the throw rug I have that is made out of old panties?
Nasty things about your husband makes YOU look bad, talk about airing dirty laundry! These are extremely tasteful panties for a cause.
Go to sleep, Celia. Geez.
Man, Ellie stole my comment.
I have other panties...but I think Ryan wants me to hold onto those.
Those are the ugliest undies I've ever seen! I don't know what YOU'RE talking about, I'm 20 lbs lighter post marriage and baby...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Right. Do you think they accept things from Fredericks?? (Vicky's hates on us big boobed sistas)
I think my holy panties would confuse them. Do you get extra points if they are dirty? Or dirrrrty?
I hate the word "Panties" ugh!! But, for Peace, I do anything! I'm sending some "White Bloomers".
I hardly even own any panties. I only have the ones I wear for workouts and "special" occasions that are too too small. I think someone should send ME some panties. Of course... that's gross.
Too bad I only own like one pair of real, non-holy panties. So sad I know.
I'm waiting.
I just saw this article in the NY Times today http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/25/fashion/shows/25LINGERIE.html?_r=1&8dpc&oref=slogin
and thought of you and how horrifying this trend must be for the Burma/Myanmar dudes.

We created a mini-game to raise some awareness of the campaign.

You get to throw undies at generals and hear them declare "this is against the Geneva convention".
