Ceylonese Dumb It Down

2:00 AM -- From the ColomboPage (the "Sri Lankan Internet Newspaper"):

The Sri Lankan Cabinet has decided to reduce the age of consent for sexual encounters from 16 to 13 years.

Cabinet spokesperson Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva said the action has been taken due to rising numbers of men arrested for sexual relations with girls below the age of 16.

Problem solved. Next they plan to take a hard look at kidnapping, extortion, and car-bombing.
