If he is from Hamrun he is right to be angry. The buses are already full up when they reach Attard from Mtarfa/Dingli, and are always full up when they leave Valletta. In the morning, Hamrun residents have zero chances to find a seat, and are lucky if they manage to board the bus.
[Daphne – That’s hardly the point, is it.]
The point is that this video was made to make people laugh and happy.. This video also got 1000 shares on fb, and I’m pretty sure it did just that. :D
Certainly, if those are the same people who laugh at Deceduti.
P.S. :D
He could walk to Valletta from Hamrun, but he won’t. That is why the Maltese are obese.
Same could be said for the mentioned minister then.
Great reasoning. He might as well just walk straight to Mellieha…then swim it to Gozo. Obesity is besides the point in this argument.
Veru ma jiddejqux jaqaw ghac-cajt dawn in-nies.. Jaqq..kemm hu antipatiku.
its funny, and that was the aim of it all.. lal
It’s not funny, and you’re a subliterate cretin who sullies god’s green earth. On the other hand, you’re splendidly representative of Malta.
@H.P. Baxxter
One could call you pompous. One could also call you arrogant and pretentious.
I suppose you don’t care about that though, do you? By the way I noticed you made a few grammatical errors.
“God” and “Earth” are both proper nouns and should therefore be written as I wrote them.
It´s disgusting.
You’re Disgusting.
How crass. I would rather emigrate to Iran than ever be mistaken for a PL supporter. They all give me the creeps.
Moronic, vulgar and utterly disgusting. Is this what passes for Christmas cheer?
And openly naming this idiocy “under ommok” was a real nice touch.
I’d always known we were right at the edge of a cliff.
People like this ‘Kyle Pace’ should seriously consider taking a big step forward.
Just think: he couldn’t do this by himself but needed the collaboration of a certain KYZBLAG.
If we have to ‘nsallu’, at all, it won’t be because we have to wait for a bus, but because we’ve been paying taxes for all these years just so this idiot can go to school and waste his time and our money.
Take a chill pill, Seggy.
The same idiot will probably be paying the same taxes so that you can enjoy your pension.
[Daphne – Unlikely. Somebody with those talents is probably below the tax threshold. Whoever Seggy is, over the course of their lifetimes, more of his tax will be used by this ‘singer’ than the other way round.]
If he works, he pays social security, no matter the tax-band.
[Daphne – Ah yes, but then he would also have spent 13 years in state schools, which as we all know, are far more expensive to run than even the best private schools. And please don’t tell me that this was on the strength of his father’s payments, unless he is an only child and his father was in a fee-apying school.]
You’d be lucky to be ‘Kyle Pace’, who is an A-grade 6th form student that actually has a life and a sense of humor.. something a lot of ou seem to be missing :) lal
It’s funny because you’re all trying to make it seem like you’re better than him, always have been, and always will be.
The boy is still young, being young means doing stupid, immature things sometimes. You can’t say that in your lives you’ve never done anything that the older generations thought was stupid and immature.
By the way I assure you, despite this, he is still a really smart person. In fact I’m willing to bet that in the future he won’t be paying taxes to pay for your retirement benefits, not because he won’t be earning the money, but because like all smart people he’s going to get opportunities to go abroad and do something better with his life than stay in Malta and become a bitter old man.
Vera hamallu, xejn inqas pero probabilment hafna izjed.
I like it that you just label people without actually knowing them! Show pure ignorance!
Dammit…. I wish I had so much time on MY hands. Some people really don’t have anything better to do.
you wish that you were as creative ;p
Haha then why waste time commenting on such an irrelevant post by Miss. Caruana Galizia? Hallina niehdu buzz u nidhku ahna u tindahalx!
I think you do have so much free time on YOUR hands. He used it to create something original and funny, whereas you waste it reading stupid articles like these, and commenting on them !!
It’s amusing how public transport in the past is “tal-linja” and the current one is “l-arriva” for these people.
It’s called lyrical genius my friend……….. doesnt necessarily have to be realistic.
il qahba xinjoranza Dafnij hahahha… dak siehbi, u mhux laburist, u int miskina, u ma tafx xini cajta…
truth is, this shit that he wrote and sung himself is effin EPIC and FUNNY and your just scum with a stupid opinion on a blog…
Yours sincerely,
Hater #1 :D
infatti, qas andu xjaqsam tkunx laburist jew nazzjonalist hahahhah :D
someone ought to write an article about ur stupidity hahha
Do you know how to spell your own name?
apparently not :D but it doesnt matter hahahhah… just have a laugh at it xP
Some people just can’t appreciate a joke when they see one =D
Omg that is the last time I’m buying anything from La Redoute…you don’t go dissing people you don’t even know…it’s really derivative to the argument to just insult someone instead of analyze the issue! You should all grow up! And you should be more careful not to give your company a bad name.
Ma hi ma nafx ala qed tamlu fuss! It was aimed to make people laugh, end of story. Jekk rajtuha vojta u bla sens keep it to urself, u just ruined the fun of it all. Prosit!
U sinjal ma kellekx x tamel Miss. Caruana Dalizia, bix rajt dal vid u bdejt dal artiklu, I thought this website dealt with serious affairs……
merry xmas ;)
Hater #2
oh god…we cannot have some fun in this country !!
Tell me about it…….. I was there when it was recorded and being produced, it never came to mind that it would come down to this!
I was sickkk =( but you’re right, no one can have a laugh anymore. Everyone just gets on their high horse and thinks they’re better than everyone else just because they’re insecure. My God how sophomoric -.-
Some people don’t realise that this is simply a joke and not meant to be taken seriously. All the hating is unnecessary. Some people tend to forget about the things they got up to when they were young.
[Daphne – It’s not hatred. It’s criticism. Learn the difference.]
Well said ZD. At least someone on this blog has the ability to take a joke when he sees one :)
Well it was personal offence. That’s not criticism. anyways the video is now private. Thanks for ruining a joke.
I totally agree ZD :)
I agree Miss. Caruana Galizia, but such high-class critics such as yourself shouldn’t be bothered with videos like this. I think there are more serious matters which need your divine criticism!
Most of the comments here aren’t criticising. Learn to read. And anyway, this song wasn’t about politics, nobody mentioned Labour, you’re the one who decided to make it about politics. I don’t see you bashing the Frans il-Hamallu videos, but just because you saw this one you decided to go all out on it without any knowledge on the people who made it.
I liked it.
Where’s your sense of humour everybody?Are we getting old?It’s just the work of some young talented chap/s.Let’s have more .Thanks Daphne for uploading it.
And about who pays taxes, it seems that everyone forgets ;WE all pay taxes everyday in the form of VAT , PAYE and NI. and then other contributions to our exchequer come from company tax which are registered in Malta.
The vid is pure genius and ur all retarded for not appreciating the pure talent this wonderful boy has XD what other fun is there when we cannot make fun of the government? XD
HAHAHA.. I dare all of you to speak up if you NEVER laughed or giggled at a Joe Demicoli song. This song is exactly the same, except some idiots like you take it to be political.
Its a free country …
People relax -.-
Kyle just made this song as a joke.
You know what jokes are right?
All your hating is moronic and quite frankly sickening. He didn’t mean for this to be a controversial song and he didn’t want to be labelled as anything.
To be honest your hating on his song is showing more about the ignorance in this island than the song itself.
Nuff said.
Daphne xi kultant nibda nahseb li laqtek trakk meta kont zghira… L-ewwel nett il Kyle nafu sew u huwa wiehed li dejjem jigi l ewwel fl ezamijiet, mhux laburist u ghamel dan il video ghal gost. Jekk taf xi tfisser il kelma ” gost”.
Why is this video being politicized? It was made by a student who probably doesn’t give a crap about politics, unlike you guys who are brainwashed to the point of no return.
PS @ “Joanthan” – at least spell your name right because you are making a fool of yourself.
[Daphne – A student who doesn’t give a crap about politics? Shouldn’t that be a contradiction in terms?]
Not everyone is a political fanatic at a young age, and that’s a good thing.
[Daphne – Taking an interest in politics is not the same thing as being a political fanatic. ]
Wait… A Contradition in terms?
Enlighten me. Unless students have politics in their educational curriculum (which, by the way, they don’t) what have students got to do with politics anyway? Jeez..
[Daphne – What sort of parents raised you? A mother who talked only about shopping lists and pine disinfectant and a father who only talked about current events with his workmates and never at home? I ask because I am genuinely curious to know how people grow up oblivious to what’s going on around them. And even so, there’s no excuse. If you have a brain, use it. And if you have half a brain, pretend you have more than that. It will serve you in good stead. Yes, students are expected to have conversations about current affairs, and current affairs are inextricably linked to politics.]
however it does take a political fanatic to think that this was a political attack.
Well frankly in my humble opinion there’s politics and Maltese politics. One involves brain activity and the other involves who shouts the loudest or who has most connections. Personally I think we’re not that far away from having a Berlusconi in our country. I don’t give a damn about Maltese politics. I personally find British politics way more nourishing for the brain. And just because Kyle made fun of an MP doesn’t mean he’s bias towards one party but that he knows when the gov is doing something wrong isn’t blindly following the family tradition by voting for the same party time after time.
Daphne, if you had half a brain, you would have known better than to judge people without knowing them. It just shows how ignorant you are.
Daphne jaqaw u’ve tried to feed politics to your five kids (for who by the way i feel very sorry) . . Trust me if you do you’re making a whole mess of parenting. I mean come on current affairs are linked to politics but anyone with one ounce of brain matter would know that this video had no political aim. . It was just a couple of teenagers having a laugh. Something i hope you let those kids of yours do : /
*3 rather than 5
Daphne this has nothing to do with labour or nationalist.. this is simply a video that was made by a creative student to make people laugh.. People should learn how to have a little sense of humour!!
I just laughed my ass off…
Just because someone has the guts to publish a video where he makes fun of a bloody public transport system, doesn’t meant he’s a Labourite…
Dear. Miss Galizia, I respect your English Language Skills, but seriously… Your journalism ethical standards are as large as a walnut which I just received from Christmas… Please, for Christ’s sake, take the bloody thing off because you have just made yourself the laughing stock of Journalism…
P.S. I’m writing this at school, and all of my friends (counting about 20) agree with you, just to prove a point :)
Learn to take a joke. Already pinning this down as a Labour tactic, are we? Didn’t see that one coming …
Irrespective of any political beliefs, what he’s saying is all very true, if only you’ve tried to get onto arriva yourself once in a while, you’d know
[Daphne- How exactly does one ‘get onto Arriva’? Is this a whole new language, or what?]
JA’s grammar is besides the point. Or was that the only thing you picked up from the whole comment?
It’s a pity that everything that happens in Malta is seen from a political perspective. The aim of this video was by no means political.
Daphne, I’m one of those who enjoy reading your articles every now and then. However, with all due respect, who are you to pass judgement on somebody I’m sure you don’t know enough about. Saying he will fall below the tax threshold is unfair and shameful of you. Kyle actually has a lot to offer society in the future. Saying he has spent 13 years in state schools is just wrong.
@ HP Baxxter…i’m sorry if you didn’t find this song funny, yet it seems 1000+ people(in less than 24 hours) found it so hilarious they shared it on facebook.
Proud to say Kyle is one of my best friends!!
I dont want to be political at all coz i dont like that stuff. The thing is that most of the people who commented here probably have never been on an arriva bus and trust me they leave much to be desired. Such as getting to where you want to go on time, or at least getting there fullstop.
Daphne I would just like to point out that this was clearly just a bit of humor. If it is not in your taste, anyone who grew learning to just ignore what they dont necessarily like should know : If you dont like it then just dont look at it. Politics dont have to enter at all. And neither does all this criticism.
I don’t mean to be rude, but you guys are ignorant and just plain stupid. It’s this kind of attitude that makes me ashamed to be Maltese.
I know Kyle, and he’s a very intelligent person, has a great sense of humour, and he also doesn’t give a rats ass about politics.
Half these comments made me sick. Who are you to judge a person simply because he posted a video on youtube, trying to take a piss out of the Transport system. It’s Called being a Teenager and having some fun.
Now Shut up and take a joke, because not everything that is done has to be related to politics.
Mr Kyle Pace only did this video as a joke and if you thing this is controversial there are several videos of this type on youtube which are far more vulgar than this like the video of Hitler and Arriva, and yet you come here and judge this guy just for saying this? I don’t think he was being rude. He gave his opinion, living in a democratic country means he has the right for pluralism that doesn’t make him favour any political party. If you actually used the service as does Kyle and all young people nowadays, you’ll hear loads of complaints like this on the bus stops. I would also like to address the people who said he should be the first to jump off a cliff and thinks this is degraded Malta, you have no sense of humour and have absolutely no right to talk about someone like kyle in that way, just because he posted such a video doesn’t make him an idiot or whatever you guys think he is. Kyle is actually a straight A student in sixth form and probably the rest of the people judging are bigger morons than he is.
Let the guy live in peace. People enjoyed it and he wasn’t trying to offend anyone with his actions.
I used to have a sense of humour, then I took an arrow in the knee.
Well said!
It’s funny how the people who know the least about you always have the most to say..
