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.

I know I shouldn't post this here, but I just couldn't resist.
Oh, by the way, a 6.9 earthquake happened off the coast of Taiwan today, according to the Ottawa Citizen.

With temperatures in the 50s today in Indiana, I predict there will be a nip in the air.

So, only immodest women cause these problems? I guess this fat body shaking his BOOBS is safe then.

Last week, McCreight posted a somewhat tongue-in-cheek message on the blog, saying that she would "wear the most cleavage-showing shirt" she owns on April 26 and asked "female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts," not thinking the post would necessarily be taken literally or take off like it has. I imagine there will be a lot of young men there to lend a hand - since the women will be attending with limited support.

The face isn’t the point of the story. I think you have to withhold your “guilty until the relevant evidence is revealed.

They are better photos than the one in the article.
And my finding of “guilty” was in response to her self-identification as a liberal geek.
