Panties, superstition and Myanmar

I was reading this on Radio-Canada's website today...interesting. Very briefly, this SITE ask women to send their panties to the Myanmar ambassador in Ottawa.
WHY? Because, according to a popular belief, men lose all power when they touch a piece of feminine garment that was worn under the belt...especially panties. Ladies, get rid of these old underwear for a good cause.....
