Boobquake: A Group Trying to Prove that Boobs Don't Cause Earthquakes


An Iranian cleric bizarrely claimed that women in sexy clothes cause earthquakes, so thousands of ladies in Facebook's "Boobquake" campaign decided to create a group to prove him wrong.

Iran is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, but one cleric's explanation for the tremors left a lot of people scratching their heads. Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi said, "Many women who do not dress modestly… lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes."

In order to prove him wrong, over 80,000 women have joined a Facebook group called Boobquake. It was started by Jennifer McCreight, who wants to test the cleric's claim scientifically by getting thousands of women to show off their cleavage to see if any tectonic movements follow. (Link 1 | Link 2)
