Boobquake Bust

So, a little while back some Iranian cleric claimed that the sudden onset of earthquakes the world is seeing is caused by women wearing revealing clothing, and showing cleavage. These comments to the average person were simply nothing more than jibberish from some crazy dude on the other side of the planet. To a few women, however, it was a moment to shine. Some organizers took it upon themselves to encourage women to show up on the steps of VAG (natch) and show up topless. All of this in the name of women’s rights, this bouncy display was going to be a huge step in the right direction for equality for all. 150 women were expected to show up and demonstrate. Instead, three showed up, and it was the three that you’d least likely want to see topless. As a matter of fact, these three probably did more to support the nutty clerics comments than anything else. Women probably looked at these three, and thought, Jesus, I don’t look like that do I? The next day in the office, all of the women are wearing turtlenecks.

But, it gets better, some of the organizers were referring to the whole thing as a gong show, that they didn’t expect a crap load of dudes to show up with their cellphone cameras taking photos of naked women. Really? You didn’t? Well, then I question if you have any brains to begin with.

“I don’t think these people are here to support women being empowered … they’re just wanting to see some boobs”

That was one of the organizers, Marley Wilson’s comments. Let’s be straight about it Marley, these men may actually care about rights and empowerment, but they like boobies more, and that’s why they’re men. The other idea that showing up topless can empower you is the most ridiculous concept ever. Any woman who was planning on showing up topless to this thing, and did not expect there to be a ton of dudes and attention, and most likely a cold breeze, needs to give their head a shake. You’re the last people who will bring empowerment to anyone.

Although, hey, it could be worse, Craig Anderson could have showed up.
