Damith Samarakoon April 2nd 2011 was a very painful day for most Sri Lankans. Inspired by SightScreen.com, the sadist in us thought it best to rehash some of that pain and get you to share it with the rest of the world. We thought a year and 2 weeks on was a good time to get this on air as 2 weeks after the WC was when we actually started to feel like we were going to be ok last year. Also, it took me a while to edit all this together as some of you appear to have done your recording via a contraption compromising of a razor blade and a hak-gediya. We apologize profusely for some of the sound quality but some of you really should spend some coin on a better mic rig.
There is anger at selections, badly timed birthdays, general depression, conspiracy theories and an incredible ending.
The fellow Sadists in order.

Thanks you to everyone who took the time to share your memories. Hopefully more will contribute when we ask them to rate our good looks next time.
