Washington, DC (PRWEB) January 18, 2010 — On the heels of its successful release of the first episode of No Blood For Panties series, Boycott Sri Lanka released its second episode today. No Blood For Panties is part of a campaign to encourage Americans to boycott products made in Sri Lanka to end Sri Lanka’s violent discrimination against its Tamil population.
“We are thrilled by the growing success of the No Blood For Panties series,” said Boycott Sri Lanka representative Anjali Manivannan. “The first episode has gone viral, with thousands of views a day, and generating a dialogue about the use of sexuality to promote activism. This is exactly the response we were aiming for: a shocking new way to spread awareness about grave human rights violations,” she continued.
Michael O’Rourke, who directed the series, said, “As a continuation of the first episode, the second episode follows the couple during a therapy session as the woman struggles to understand why boycotting products made in Sri Lanka is so important to her boyfriend. This episode conveys the message that events in Sri Lanka affect ordinary Americans in unforeseen ways. Because of the importance of maintaining her relationship, the woman begins to learn more about the conflict in this small South Asian island.”
