Adopt an Icelander - Darling, I'm not a terrorist

When Iceland's economy crumbled in 2008, so went the leisurely party lives of thousands of young Icelanders. They are called "The Cuddly Generation" (Krutt-kynslotin in Icelandic), and they need your help. Please donate whatever you can - money, plane tickets, alcohol or kind words (they all speak English). Anything to help these beautiful, fun-loving viking progeny reclaim the free-spirited times of no work and all play to which they grew so accustomed... even if it's just for one wild night.

If you are an Icelander longing for your glory days, send me a photo and your story; I will tell the world how carefree your life once was, and how depressing and lame it is now. And if you are a humanitarian who would like to contact one of the Icelanders whose story you saw here, email me and I will forward your message to them.

Call me Rhys Southan.

Darling, I'm not a terrorist

Through Iceland Weather Report, I see that Icelanders have setup a Website to tell Great Britain that they are not terrorists. A valiant effort, but I’m skeptical that it’ll work. Once a country has decided that another country is a sponsor of terror, it’s hard to shake that image. Look at Iran. Even “Persepolis” didn’t quell suspicision of Iran here in the states.
