Lingerie Bowls and Wardrobe Malfunctions

Just wanted to make sure that when you are enjoying the game this weekend, watching the Lingerie Bowl, (hosted by Refrigerator Perry - remember the Icky shuffle?) eyeballing the cheerleaders and generally enjoying the spectacle that is Super Bowl that you keep in mind that there are those among us that would take this:

and turn it into this:

Talk about your wardrobe malfunctions!

You might want to think about this also:

This from the UK Guardian about India: Muslim Women: Don't Work With Men. Or Shop!

Muslim women should not work with men or go shopping in areas where they could mix with strangers of the opposite sex, according to an edict issued by the influential All India Muslim Personal Law Board, which claims to represent the nation's 140 million Muslims.

No shopping? I don't think so pal.
He said that women were also dressing in western clothes, especially in the country's new shopping malls, and these often were "too revealing". "Men will gaze on them if they visit the market. It is extremely essential to cover their entire body. Better such errands are left to the men in the family," said Mr Nizamuddin.

Don't gaze on me - I might gaze back on you, brazen hussy that I am. Dinah's my name. Flirtings my game. Remember Eve and the fig leaf, baby.

However opinion polls have shown that Indian Muslims, who have benefited less from the country's wealth and development in recent years, have become increasingly preoccupied with material matters rather than spiritual ones.

I guess living in a hut with a dirt floor is losing it's appeal. All I can say is - it's about damn time.
