KISS – Labour is so kool & saxy

Published: September 22, 2012 at 2:56pm

The brainboxes at the Pee ELL glass place have had a light-bulb moment.

“Let’s set up a kool digital radio station so that the yoots will vote for us. Let’s call it Kiss to be like, you know, the kool Kiss stations in the UK and the US.

“Now all we have to do is come up with a kool strap-line to start promoting it on One TV.”

WE JUST PLAY MUSIC. And sure enough, it’s running on One TV now.

Just play music, eh? As opposed to what, you risible lot? Ring tones? Recorded whale mating calls? Simulated waves breaking on a simulated shore?

Speeches by Joseph Muscat?

Now the next bit. What is the point of a party-owned radio station if it doesn’t serve the party’s purpose of getting itself elected? What – no propaganda?

Or maybe, with their scintillating business sense, they’ve set up KISS Radio to make money, having ditched Toni Abela’s suggestion of a Labour supermarket.

    I’m not too keen about Cyrus’s choice of lip-stick shade.

    The PL’s recent improvment in relations with Caqnu have made the supermarket idea redundant. Have they perhaps fallen out with the Decesares?

    Are they Toni Abela’s rubber doll’s lips?

    OMG don’t tell me they are now going to start national economic segregation. PL SLOGAN…ixtru biss minn ghand lejbur u isimghu biss il-lejbur

    If you vote Labour in the next general election, it could easily become the official government logo for ‘kiss my …. to get a job’. Either that or it’s Mary Spiteri’s lips kissing the future Mintoff monument.

    Kiss radio is one of the most stupid ideas a political party has come up with (Jason?). ONE radio is already a jukebox of cheap commercial music, the kind that respectable radio stations overseas would not air. So why do they need another radio station to give us more of the same?

    I suppose overseas visitors to this country who rely on radio stations for their information would think that the Maltese are perennially dancing in the street to disco/rock music, because that’s all you hear on Maltese stations.

    Kiss radio: ghall-generazzjoni gdida Laburista. All airheads, inarticulate and prancing senselessly.

    Hasn’t Labour reailsed Malta is an aging country, where youth are a minority, or are they trying to get septuagenarians hooked to disco music?

    Gone are the times when radio/TV was a source of information and cultural/scientific knowledge. Imbasta l-edukazzjoni l-ewwel.
