Happy Slapping is sooo 2006, welcome to the new trend of street kissing!
There was a bit of a backlash against mobile phones and YouTube last year, when numerous incidents of Happy Slapping appeared. The furore peaked with a front page headline towards the end of the year of a teenager assaulted in Ballymun who claimed that the video’s circulation on Youtube only added to the trauma from the assault.
That’s all about to change in 2007 as a new trand sweeps video sharing sites - street kissing (via picturephoning.com). The video below is only a taste of the new phenomenon sweeping the streets across the globe. It’s along the same lines as the Free Hugs campaign.

Yay, Lara Croft in Ireland!
Feshti's back and this time he's counting down the top 10 movie opening scenes of all time.
Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
Oh, dear god, NO!
The results of that on Ireland’s streets will be more slapping.

In French culture they do it daintily, but at a fair day in Ballinasloe the farmers in their muddy boots would be slurping all over the girls’ faces surely.

i concur. it could then lead to future revalations that may also lead to sex on the street and ’spare of the moment’ type marrages
