Eroticism and sex on the internet sells. And it spreads fast. Resorting to this impact on humans, an activist group is attempting to un-sell Sri Lankan products, especially lingerie which have been accepted and are in great demand in the West.

Titled ‘No Blood for Panties’ it portrays a young couple in a provocative bedroom scene. But when the female lowers her panty, the male sees the label ‘Made in Sri Lanka’ and turns away.

The videos are part of a campaign to boycott products made in Sri Lanka and help end the oppression of Sri Lanka’s Tamils, the activist group claims.

Sri Lankais one of the largest suppliers of sexy lingerie to major brands, including Victoria’s Secret.

“Boycott Sri Lanka is very excited about its release of the video series,” says group representative Anjali Manivannan. “This video series allows us to reach Americans who might otherwise be unaware of the repercussions of their consumer habits.”

“Sri Lanka uses tax revenue from the textile industry to oppress Tamil civilians and detain them in IDP internment camps,” claims Manivannan. “No Blood For Panties sends the powerful message that buying ‘Made in Sri Lanka’ items and supporting state-sponsored human rights violations is unsexy. It sends the message that being a conscious consumer is where true sexiness is.”

“Due to Sri Lankan government-imposed media restrictions many Americans are unable to grasp the gravity of the Tamil people’s plight in Sri Lanka. Boycott Sri Lanka urges every potential customer to pledge to boycott products made in Sri lanka. We made No Blood for Panties as an innovative tool to advance consumer conscience among the American public,” claims Manivannan.
