"Swazi king blames trousers for world`s ills."

********************************************

MBABANE (Reuters) - Swaziland`s absolute monarch has singled out women
wearing trousers as the cause of the world`s ills in a state radio sermon
that also condemned human rights as an "abomination before God".

"The Bible says curse be unto a woman who wears pants, and those who wear
their husband`s clothes. That is why the world is in such a state today,"
Mswati, ruler of the impoverished feudal nation of about one million, said
late on Thursday.

The Times of Swaziland reported that the monarch, who reigns supreme in the
landlocked country run by palace appointees and where opposition parties are
banned, went on to criticise the human rights movement.

"What rights? God created people, and He gave them their roles in society.
You cannot change what God has created. This is an abomination before God,"
the king told an audience of conservative church leaders.

Women on the streets of capital Mbabane were not impressed.

"The king says I am the cause of the world`s problems because of my outfit.
Never mind terrorism, government corruption, poverty and disease, it`s me
and my pants. I reject that," said Thob`sile Dlamini.

Mswati is Africa`s last absolute monarch. He is currently married to nine
wives, with a wedding pending for wife number 10, and has chosen an
additional fiancee after reviewing videos of topless maidens performing a
traditional Reed Dance ceremony.

Now i'm not really up with what "the bible says" but i have a really strange feeling that this monachy dude made that one up.

I invite anyone to find a bible quote that states clearly that chicks should not wear pants. Perhaps in the name of "God" it is my duty to wonder up females and remove their pants????? Perhaps thats why Mr Monachy Dude has 9+ wives????

If that is your mission Chris, the go forth and de-pant.

Of course the Bible, as quoted, is as chauvinistic as ever. Note that nothing is said about men wearing their wives' clothes, and it is my recollection that a lot of men in the aforementioned region go around wearing dresses.:D
