Crazy Lanka:

http://www.crazylanka.com/ [1021 clicks]

We believe in crazyness, nuttiness, non-conformity and irreverence. We are not politically motivated and insult everybody and everything equally. We believe that most SriLankans have a good sense of humour, inspite of the civil war, and we cater for them. We still believe that SriLanka is a nice country and the only hazards are Malaria and Politicians. Malaria is treatable...
