Can I tile directly on top of laminate counter tops?

[Stuckinthebush]

We hope to redo our kitchen totally in a few years, but right now I just want to update it slightly without too much expense.

The cabinets aren't the best, but they will do for a few years. They would look much better with new counter tops, but I don't want to pay for granite or anything else expensive because they will be useless in a couple of year when we remodel.

My thought was that if I could tile directly on top of laminate counter tops, then it would look decent and work for a few years. I am assuming there are some serious drawbacks to doing this because of the slick surface.

Any thoughts?
