Well, it's one way to get your point across...

Got a political message? Why write to the papers when you can do This!

*snip*
a pair of knickers in what is being described as "Guantánamo Bay orange", mini handcuff dangling from the front and the catchy slogan "Fair trial my arse" emblazoned on the, um, back.
*snip*

It made me chuckle, which may detract from the point. What do you think?

Thoughts, comments and insults welcome

I don't get it. What's so sexy about Guantanamo?

For me it would be pretty ineffective. I tend to wear clothing over my knickers so the only person who'd ever see it would be my husband (whose decidedly apolitical). I wouldn't even read it because I rarely glance at my own arse.

Hm. I suppose you could wear the knickers on your head. Admittedly less sexy.

I've got some pants just like those. No biggy.

You don't wear your pants down around your thighs? That's really weird, caro.

Well, not in the winter.

A good point. So next time you see a girl with her underwear showing, check to see if there's a slogan... she may be doing it deliberately.

Also, I rather suspect that the act of them putting them on sale is their way of saying something.
They may also wave the sales figures about at some point.
