Promiscuous women cause earthquakes, claims Iranian cleric
2015-05-08
h/t Gates of Vienna
In about the most extreme example of slut shaming yet, a prayer leader in Tehran has blamed earthquakes on women who dress provocatively and tempt people into promiscuity.

"When promiscuity spreads, earthquakes increase," Hojatoleslam Kazim Sadeghi said during prayers on Friday, a video of which was later posted on YouTube.
No sillier than AGW, or gender interchangeability equality, if you ask me.

#12  Our troops may run up against some stiff opposition, but I am confident they can maneuver their way to a climatic conclusion.

#11  "We're sending our best troops."
"What sort of troops?"
"Crack troops!"

#10  Guys targeting the Haliburton Earthquake machine are easily distracted by a pretty set of legs apparently.

#8  Another strategic deployment of sluts to Iran nuke sites!

I suddenly see a solution to our current Women in Combat controversy. I even have ideas for the patch. Sorry, too NSFW.

#6  I think turbans that are too tight cause earthquakes. Its the throbbing they cause.

#5  A friend sent me an article about CO2 emissions at the Hawaii Observatory reaching 400ppm as proof of global warming.

Given that CO2 levels have risen during the entire period of the temperature pause, one must wonder about claims of causation outside the lab.

#4  A friend sent me an article about CO2 emissions at the Hawaii Observatory reaching 400ppm as proof of global warming. He retracted part of his assertion when I pointed out the observatory is on an active volcano and volcanos emit CO2. The level of CO2 is much higher on an active volcano than on a normal mountain. Even volcanos considered dormant emit CO2.

#3  That's a perennial complaint in Iran, all the earthquakes those promiscuous women cause with their deadly hair waves and too-tight raincoats.
