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.

As an American who has been to Iceland for a total of four days, I only have so much to say about the place. If you are an Icelander who wants your chance to speak your mind to the world, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE. Email me with a short bio of yourself, and then prepare to be questioned.
And of course I am always looking for Icelanders who wish to be adopted/sponsored.
