    I think so, sad though that may be...

    American accents of course are cool, but only in the appropriate context. An Irish radio station using one to sound cool is lame in the extreme. The last time that was cool was, ooh, dunno, 1976?

    2fm's slogan is honestly one of the biggest turn-offs for me as a listener. Living THE life? What does that mean? Living the "2fm life"? What would that even mean? Aren't yiz just a radio station? Chillax!

    I remember when Colm & Jim-Jim started, Jim-Jim took the piss out of the slogan, something to the effect of "Livin' the life, lovin' yore ma" - now that's a good slogan!
