Slacktivism
There are no magic answers, no miraculous methods to overcome the problems we face, just the familiar ones: honest search for understanding, education, organization, action that raises the cost of state violence for its perpetrators or that lays the basis for institutional change -- and the kind of commitment that will persist despite the temptations of disillusionment, despite many failures and only limited successes, inspired by the hope of a brighter future."... Noam Chomsky

This is not a joke

This really did run in a Sri Lankan newspaper, and apparently a major one. What a monumental cockup, makes the mind boggle as to the kind of people that run the place.

Reminds me of a dialogue from the Home Alone movies -

Kate McCallister: What kind of idiots do you have working here?
Mrs. Stone, Desk Clerk: The finest in New York.

Apparently these guys have the finest in Sri Lanka working for them.
