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.

If you are an Icelander who is currently in Iceland, you speak French and are looking to escape the financial chaos, a French gentleman who has contacted me may be able to help you. He is going to be away from his apartment in the suburbs of Paris for some time and would like to temporarily lend his appartement to an Icelander in need. But for it to be possible, you must be able to parles français (if you can read that, you can probably speak French). Comment to this entry or send me an email, and I will put you in touch with him.
