After an
Iranian cleric said earthquakes were God's punishment for scantily-clad women, the pro-scantily-clad lobby of womanity
declared today Boobquake, a day to flout and disprove the cleric by baring your boobs. And then a 6.9-magnitude earthquake
occurred in Taiwan! The
New York Post reports that Boobquake's founder remained nonchalant after Taiwan's 11AM earthquake. She spat right in the face of an angry, wonderbra-hating Allah:
Although Boobquake founder
Jennifer McCreight, of Indiana., has claimed that the quake does not count because it happened outside her Boobquake time zone, she admitted on her blog that the wobble was significant, but not unusual.
"On avg, 134 magnitude 6-6.9 earthquakes occur annually," she wrote on her Twitter feed, before following it up on her blog with: "If we get many of a similar magnitude in the next 24 hours, we might start worshipping the power of immodesty."
In earlier interviews,
McCreight said the presence or absence of an earthquake would prove the cleric's prophecy true or false.
"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."
Conclusion: Everyone, convert to hard-right misogyno-Islam now, and add Taiwan to the "Fuck you, American boobs" list, while you're at it. [
