WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- A Purdue University student's attempt to poke fun at an Iranian cleric's contention that promiscuity and immodesty is responsible for earthquakes mushroomed into a cause that went viral, taken on by thousands of women.
Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, Tehran's acting Friday prayer leader, ignited controversy last week by linking tremors to the behavior of women.
"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Iranian media quoted Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi as saying.
Jen McCreight, a self-described "liberal, geeky, nerdy, scientific, perverted atheist feminist trapped in Indiana," and her cause, "Boobquake," is one of the top trending topics worldwide on Twitter and has amassed a Facebook following of about 50,000 people, with hundreds of thousands pledged to help the effort.

Have to wonder how all of the liberals who complain of being “trapped” or “stuck” in Texas, Florida, Indiana, etc. are in that state of affairs.
People in Cuba, East Germany, North Korea, etc. know what it is REALLY like to be “trapped” somewhere.

Silly girl, everybody knows that earthquakes are caused by global warming, Republicans driving SUVs and by George Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove using an earthquake machine to devastate minorities. (sarcasm)

I agree. The body wins out over the face (which is average) anytime.

No wonder she’s a “feminist”.
A “feminist”... isn’t that cute?

When I was at PU you could count the number of liberals on one hand. She looks typical for Purdue and that is why I married a gal from Vanderbilt.

“She looks typical for Purdue...”
Which is why the football field at Ross-Ade has natural grass. It gives the cheerleaders a place to graze.
Ahhh...one of my favorite jokes from my IU days! Yes, we are a “house divided.”
Unfortunately, when I was at IU you could count the number of conservatives on one hand...and that was the hand of a 14 year old Siamese textile worker.
