So Bad It's Good

Away from politics for a bit....

Do not miss the new, absolutely atrocious Centerpoint radio ad, that can be heard on SuperStation 99.7 for now and more stations later I assume.

The ad is unintentionally hilarious with its sudden change of rhythm from Kuwaiti to Latin, and its over-dramatic singing, like someone yearning for his lost love.

It's so bad it's goooood!

  3. msabah... sorry to ruin you thrill, but it's only a temporary relief from politics. There is too much going on, and the future of our country is at stake and I can't ignore that. Those days are long gone.

    As for the song, are you sure you want to download it? It's really horrible!

  4. I'd like to download it. So what if it's horrible. Some of us can't even hear if they wanted to ;)

    We need a bit of a smile away from the intensity of politics. It'll help charge us up.

  5. Well if you know someone at Centerpoint or even SuperStation, ask them for a copy... I sure as hell ain't going out of my way for it

  6. Fine. Forget it :P
    I'll pretend to know how it goes, and I trust you that it sounds horrible. So I'll live through pretending, and will try to believe that I know.

    I sent you something that I hope would cheer you up anyway

  9. hehe I just heard it on the radio this morning and did a double take to check if it was really 99.7 (not that I expect more of them) but it cracked me up!!! Then I read your post, I'm glad other people are sharing my humor in the embarrassing quality of Kuwait's media..SaaaantarBoint!! SaaaantarBoint!!

  10. I stopped shopping at Centerpoint a while back, in protest against their decision to open shop right across the street from where Tiffany's, Godiva's' and Gucci's are in Salmiya.

    Talk about cheek by jowl retailing!

    This is one store I will never set my foot in; funny ad or no ad. Other than that I have no problems giving my custom to them in their other locations. But spare me Centerpoint Salmiya, phulease!
