hi there! thank you very much <3! they have no religious significance, and are simply the equivalent of formal/semi-formal dresses in Sri Lanka/India. there are also casual saris for everyday wear, and again these are just cultural fashion. it is completely inoffensive, at least for me and my family, for people who aren’t of the culture to wear saris, especially to events where other people are wearing saris. in fact, oftentimes regular sari wearers will be delighted to see someone else wearing one! but of course, there ARE ways to be offensive - as in, i’ve seen people cutting up their saris and/or making them somehow more… provocative, and that’s pretty insulting, i think. hope that helps :) you should definitely try wearing saris, they make you feel like a princess!

<3 <3! No problem, I’m so relieved that Channel 4 had these war crimes documented and released for public viewing. It’s unbelievable that these inconceivably cruel acts of torture/murder/violence have gone unnoticed for so long. Hopefully international aid will help my home country out soon! <3
WARNING: these Sri Lankan soldiers actually taped THEMSELVES raping/killing men, women, and children, laughing and cheering each other on all the while. They are not human. They are not even animals. I would sooner trust a pack of neanderthals with the well-being of a modern-day country.
PLEASE REBLOG and GET THE WORD OUT. Such crimes against humanity CANNOT go unnoticed. The Sri Lankan government has responded to these blatant pieces of war crime evidence with such statements as THESE. This is a Sri Lankan government representative telling the United Nations that the videos are all FAKE, with “ACTORS.” And people BELIEVE HIM.
HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of civilians have been slaughtered, in the past few years alone. Watch this video PLEASE, and share it with other people. The only way to prevent this from continuing is to raise awareness internationally. Sri Lanka cannot recover from this alone.
Thank you. <3
Great explanation, Adrenaline Pulse Media!! As an avid hitRECorder I may be biased, but this website is one of my favorite examples of mass collaboration as well, and it uses our generation’s unique tools of the internet/social networking to create spectacular things! It’s truly amazing to be a part of such a fantastic community. Anyone and EVERYONE can hit RECord, with or without prior experience. What starts as a simple idea — be it something you thought of one day in the shower, or a childhood dream that you’ve always wanted to make a reality — can, with the help of fellow artists all over the world, become a beautiful, polished, and well-loved work of (he)ART & soul! hitRECord isn’t just a business/company — it’s a way of life. <3
Adrenaline Pulse Media has been a perpetual supporter of wikinomics, which is creation through mass collaboration, and every day I see more and more businesses take on this model to generate new-found success.
A very distinct example of this, and probably one of my favorites, is HitRECord. This unique concept of ultimately producing a film from a single simple concept and through the collaboration of dozens of people from various people in all sorts of forms, develops something very innovative. To explain exactly what HitRECord is and how it works can become quite complicated and usually can only be fully understood by checking it out for your self and seeing the process in work. However, I will try to generate some sort of comprehensible description that may give you insight… or just confuse the hell out of you. Either way, here we go; withHitRECord, a concept can begin with something as simple as a music composition produced by some talented individual in his basement. Another individual will hear this music and write an interesting short story to compliment the tone of the music. Someone else, who happens to be an upcoming graphic designer, will hear this music and see the story and put together a short storyboard to it. The process can continue when an animator takes the previous content and turns the storyboard into an animated short. Then its possible that an independent film crew takes it all and produces a short-film based on all the prior content. Finally, if it is all intriguing and has what it takes, then the project can be picked up and produced by a studio with special guest actors. The final product is put on the market and revenue generated is distributed throughout all the individuals that contributed to the project during it’s evolutionary process.
That is an example of what commonly happens on HitRECord, and the final products that come out of all this are truly remarkable. Oh, by the way; did I mention that this company was started by and operated by actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Yes, the guy from “Inception”, “G. I. Joe”, and “3rd Rock From The Sun”.
i’m sorry, but i think you’ve got the wrong number :(((
