Some vendors in downtown Kingston had great fun this week debating which of the two political parties had the better advertisements.

"Den have you seen the latest JLP ad with the man chatting on his cellphone in his field and going on like him was chatting to Mama P?" a woman asked.

She did not wait for an answer from the other vendors but quickly said, "dat deh ad a di best one mi see so far."

"Stop oono foolishness," a man sitting on a stool said.

"Look pon di one weh de Labourite dem have wid Sister P flashing her hair and warning dem not to draw her tongue because she nuh fraid a nobody," the man said grinning from ear to ear. "Every time dat one come over de television mi have fi burst out laughing," he added.

"The JLP dem really leading the PNP in the race with the ads," another vendor said.

"Stop it. Look pon de one wid Bruce driving de bus and crashing everytime, mi love dat one," a woman wearing a long brown wig said.

"Yuh nuh have no taste. You really like dat one?" asked a man who was selling watermelons.

"A nuh fi you business if mi nuh have taste, mi like dat ad and dat is fi mi business", the woman responded.

But she went on further to ask why the JLP had to produce such advertisements with the Prime Minister saying all sorts of things. She wondered why the Prime Minister did not sue the JLP.

"Sue the JLP? A nuh she chatting like dat on de platform. After di JLP nah tell no lie pon her", a woman selling guineps remarked.

If Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller sues the JLP it is not likely she will be successful. She would have to prove that the words used in the advertisements were false and that they gravely injured her integrity and reputation.
