Marks & Spencer busted
the protestors arrive, making a point....
Let it never be said that the power of women to band together for important causes cannot happen within a virtual universe.
Facebook served as the protest platform for women fed up with paying more for larger sized bras at Marks & Spencer merely because they were a little more well endowed than their other sisters. Busts 4 Justice has logged over 17,000 friends to date.
Sisters of all kinds of boobage campaigned against the store policy with a virtual march on Facebook. Marks & Spencer say they listen to their customers, even in the virtual world. Indeed they did.
Marks & Spencer lobbed a full page ad apologizing, offering a discount on all bras for the next two weeks as a concession to their egregious practice and would never ever do unfair pricing again. They also said (honestly, I could not make this up if I tried) that they didn't want a bunch of big-breasted women storming their annual summer meeting, thus the quick response.
Ah, now if the power of Facebook could bring world peace, end famine, get all of us jobs, and bring home the organic bacon, it would be a wonderful world.
equal pricing for jolly green giantess

Lawdy Be !
I foresee a backlash when the flat chested realize their bra prices have gone up to cover the materials expense for their busty sisters. Nude mud-wrestling in the streets!
I think I like this new trend of protesting with boobs-- by which of course, I mean the bouncy kind.
I guess Britain is way behind the stores I go to....trying to find a size in a B cup in CA is a exercise in futility, often. Good for them, I guess.
Seems like busty women would be welcome at the annual meeting, but I guess in general they prefer to keep those things all male.
Now me, I'd think that being stormed by a bunch of large breasted women would make me less likely to compromise if said compromise were to forestall the event. On the other hand, it would make for an amusing death certificate. Death by enormous boobs.
where do you find this stuff!!! I love it!!!
Hey! Maybe Facebook could fix the front right feed of Most Viewed on OS!!! Wouldn't THAT be funny!
Gosh - indeed!
Monsieur C - now that would be soooo L.A. But I'd still like to see that.
mr e - of course.
Buffy - I DO know!
The Buzz - I think they were scared of them
bobbot - now that would be news.
1IM - I live for this kind of ridiculous news.
Cartouche - I am beginning to believe that facebook is the answer to everything!

I wouldn't join this protest. I think the store was completely within its rights to charge more for the larger-sized bras. I practically have to have mine made by the Army Corps of Engineers, and they cost a lot!
Even when I think I've found a large-sized bra bargain, I end up being sorry I bit; big breasts need more of everything; wider elastic, more hook-and-eye closures, stronger cup fabric, and better underwires.
I've got big tits and I cannot lie . . .

In related news, an online women's group has formed to protest the fact that every store in the universe charges more for maxi-pads than they do for panty shields. "Why should those of us with heavier periods have to pay more for protection?" asked Flo Hevvy, leader of the new group, Crotches 4 Equality.
havlin - I used to pay for those too. from the old ladies in NYC who sewed them by hand....the bra that can never fold.
Dana - hilarious!

I know this takes a great weight off my chest.

You're kidding, right? That's all I see is B cup bras. Try Victoria's Secret stores. Every time I go there and find a bra I like, it only comes in B and C cup sizes.
In fact, I am pretty sure there is a conspiracy among envious clothing sewers to make every cute bra on the planet come only in a B cup as a joke on those of us with D cup (or larger) breasts.

I prefer the loose fitting bras, if and when one needs to be worn. It gives us guys a better view when looking down a top.
What about protesting like the late 60's, when women would burn their bras and stopped wearing them?

Because some of us prefer not to give ourselves two black eyes every time we step off a curb, I.C. London.
Awesome.
Try seeing how much you have to pay for a wireless mastectomy bra. $50 anyone? Of course, that's Macy's.
Ha! They Boobed! Love it.
Thanks for keep us abreast of this situation.
I really want to know the story of the guy with the monster red bra. Is that his fetish toy? Is he the artist who made the bra? Is he a professional bra hanger? A random perv who can't be pried away? There is this stunning visual disconnect between the extreme bra and the extreme nerd. How did they come together?
I must not be hanging around in the same places on Facebook that you are. I don't know where you find this crazy stuff. By the way, is that second photo for real?

I call bull****. We still live in a male dominated corporate world, and it's simply inconceivable that the M&S ASM wouldn't welcome some big-breasted women ...

I heard about this on the radio. I think it was the BBC. The real strike should be about how much more women have to pay for things than men do. Right?
every DAMN time I go into Victoria's secret there aint no damn boobie holders in my size...on the rare occasion they do have my size.. lets just say they dd... all they have is a boring black or beige..
Wow, do I ever learn a lot on Open Salon! Too funny. Rated
Can Facebook fix the ceiling in my living room, I wonder?
Go boobs!
Go boobs!
