KIIS having some fun: **SIIK FM**

[henry]

An airchecker on YouTube caught this little gem:

KIIS FM is goofing around for (I'm assuming) Halloween and is branding itself as SIIK FM (sick fm). As you know, sick is young-people slang for something that is cool, unique, or crazy. Not to mention, Halloween is about death and ghosts -- hence, being sick. I suppose the logo with a little bit of blood dripping from it indicates the latter.

It's nothing new they did this in the mid 2000s during Halloween. They played songs like "A Nightmare on My Street" and "Freaks Come Out At Night".

Lol yeah. Pretty cool. I had it on blast on my way to work.

I'm the last person who is going to be politically correct, but if I was a new station general manager at KIIS, I would never let this go through as it a bit of an appropriation and mockery of the East Indian Sikh name and their culture/religion. Americans can be so lame and obtuse in these issues on respect to other cultures and their traditions.
