You shook me all night long, by Axl*
I want to make a few quick comments recent developments in the local (Sri Lankan) blogosphere (kottu & zsri).
Technically, this post should be in SriPost, but I make an effort to keep Sripost neutral. So, um, it’s here.
Sri Lanka’s best blog?
I think Janindra has one of Sri Lanka’s best (if not the best) blog(s). His posts so far, are interesting, relevant to Sri Lanka, and full of original content. So, here’s to you Janindra!
Other cool blogs I follow include:
Moju (www.moju.lk)
Mahangu.org
Yo’s blog (Mahamoor.com)
Charith.NET
No Comments?
Mahangu has turned off comments on his blog. I think this is a pity. By it’s very definition a blog is a place where an author writes posts, and visitors comment and interact. By turning this feature off, both author, and visitors loose.
However, as Mahangu points out, it’s his place, besides, I’m sure he has a good reason.. I’m curious to know what other people make of this “Turning off comments” idea..
In Sri Lanka, the consumer IS a moron
The author of this post appears to take offense at the level of stupidity displayed in Sri Lankan ads.
Well there is a reason that these advertiesments appear to be ‘designed’ for morons.
BECAUSE, IN SRI LANKA, THE typical CONSUMER IS a MORON.
Ask any executive at a local advertising company why their ads are so stupid, and they will tell you that “that’s the only thing the consumer responds to: simple almost moronic ads which make no sense to intelligent people” The first order of business at our local ad companies is, forget everything you learned at university, and write mindless garbage that no sane person would take seriously.
