“Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes,”

Here’s the situation

Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi (Tehran’s acting Friday prayer leader) has decided to publicly scold scantily clad women for causing the earthquakes the earth is currently suffering. I guess he feels that when women are immodest (I read that as “comfortable or sexy”) they’re sinning so greatly that the earth it’s self becomes pissed off. That’s good science!

He continues with, ?There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam?s moral codes.”

To help educate Sedighi that earthquakes come from plate-techtonics (and not boobs like I used to think) some scantily clad women had a protest.

This protest has begun this year’s greatest online video movement… something they’re calling a “boobquake.” Get it? Boobs that will cause earthquakes! Boobquakes! Hilarious!?
