Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi has revealed the mystery behind devastating earthquakes -  promiscuous women!

“Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes,”  Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media.

This statement was then re-quoted in an Associated Press article and now here at BiasViewer.

According to meteorologists, Iran is a high-risk area for earthquakes and (obviously) how women dress or act will not change this – or will it?

Some women in the Western world are taking this unusually sexist statement endearingly.

Purdue student, Jen McCreight, organized Boobquake 2010 to determine whether women baring their breasts April 25, 2010, would trigger an earthquake of pandemic proportions.

According to reports, there were fewer earthquakes than the previous three days and now I am concluding that Boobquake 2010 may have in fact prevented an armaggedon!

Almost 66,000 people ‘liked’ Boobquake on Facebook and McCreight has continued the movement on other social media sites including Twitter.

This level of fear-mongering by Sedighi is outrageous and ridiculous. Why people who are put into positions of power abuse this authority is beyond me. I sincerely believe Mother Nature is pissed off at this guy…

…but without Sedighi there would be no Boobquake 2010 – so thanks  for putting up the challenge dude; great reverse psychology.
