it means that the Irish are the most kissable nation in the world and also that they are very forward and don't beat around the bush if they are looking for something!

You have to hang over the edge of a building on your back and kinda crawl down a bit and kiss the stone

A few years back (you remember if you're an oldster like me...or the Simpsons writers...) there was a series of T-shirts (then sweastshirts, then coffee mugs, etc etc) that read "Kiss me, I'm (insert ethnic group here). They were commonly seen in catalogs like Lillian Vernon, or What on Earth. "Kiss me, I'm Irish" was probably the most commonly seen, followed by "Kiss me I'm Italian", then "Kiss me, I'm Polish". The Simpsons joke is a reference back to that popular T-shirt, possibly fueled by the fact that Conan O'Brien is Irish. He and I are roughly the same age, so I'm not surprised by him making fun of that T-shirt trend.

On a visit to Ireland you may kiss the Blarney Stone to give you the gift of eloquence, "Blarney". You can also kiss the Blarney Stone, "by proxy" as it were, by kissing someone who has already kissed it. This may be the reason.

I could be wrong, but I'd assume it came from the blarney stone. which is you kiss it you are supposed to get the gift of the gab.

It's a prime example of American kitsch.
