As for those who envy and covet and have low self esteem or cannot partake because of disease : may they be cured of envy, disease, low self esteem and covetousness.
The nation that is bold will be rewarded but those who envy as Satan envied Adam and Eve : may they be no more.
... sadly Malmö seems to reserve pretty much all it's festival money for the official Malmö festivalen every August ... which is impressive, and can afford decent publicity ... but I get the feeling Möllevångs could deliver a lot more fun for a fraction of the money ;o)
... I reckon with this 'snogfest' free publicity ... next year there'll probably be hundreds looking to hook up ;o)
... one for the 2010 diary .. if only to watch in disbelief ;o)

I read somewhere that kissing people (who are not seriously disease-ridden) is like getting multiple mild immunisations and gives your (often under-utilised) immune system something useful to do ;o)
... wonder if anyone charged with grabbing and snogging complete strangers has ever claimed as a defence that it was 'for essential medical reasons' ...
