What’s happening in this country is getting weirder and weirder by the day. Why on earth would the government send a SMS to all phones (I know they sent it to all Dialog phones, probably sent it through other operators as well) saying to watch TV at 8.05 pm to watch “Sri Lanka make history”.
Luckily though, I missed it. Did a bit of shopping and got caught up at the Nugegoda Traffic, (which seems to be heavier now that the flyover has being built). There were people driving like crazy (Crazier than usual) at around 7.45 – 8 which I think was to get home to watch the big moment.
So I came home to find out about the history making moment only to hear my sister say it’s about some trains and people travelling in trains. I mean SERIOUSLY? This is worst marketing ever. Have they ever heard about the “boy who cried WOLF!!)
Come to think about it this would have being a great April fool’s joke. And sure made history alright, as the most pointless attempt at making people watch a TV advertisement and 5 mins of Sri Lankan lives that they won’t get back.
On the other hand I figured out how the government’s going to lose this big popularity that they have rightly earned. If they keep acting like this the UNP will look like the better of the two clowns.
On other news I started jogging this morning, was surprised to find out that people are out and about @ 5.45AM.
