Eurovision song contest

[Pinkamena]

The songs are usually shit, but it's tradition! It's a social gathering, no fucking way I'd watch it on my own. And half of the Eurovision experience is this:

Make fun of ALL the dresses!

For me, the Eurovision thing pretty much boil down to "We watch it every year, and it's fun to have a laugh together."

It's too long, all the votes typically go from one country to another that it historically likes and the acts are terrible!

However, I did briefly catch Russian grandmothers singing, so I think instead they should just play them for 5 hours.

Honestly I thought the whole thing was in pretty poor taste since the host country IS AN EFFIN DICTATORSHIP. Ok fine, it's no North Korea but still... One of the 3 presentators was the president's daughter and the halftime show was his son in law...

So, uh, Sweden?
Out of the fair (and admittedly surprising) amount of genuinely decent acts, they went with the generic, sounds-exactly-like-that-one-track-you've-heard-before-but-can't-put-your-finger-on dance track.

Wait... hang on a second...
Do you hear that? At 0:07, and again at 0:25... that horn sounds strangely... Reaper-ish.
OH GOD. THE JUDGES HAVE BEEN INDOCTRINATED. THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.

The singing babushkas were AWESOME. I voted for them

They were! =D My mum came out with "I wonder if they stack?".

Surrender nöw ånd yöu will (mäybe) nöt be hårmed!

Well, that explain the happy chanting on the street outside, at least. And hey, it's like the fotball championships. I don't know what on earth is going on or why, but still, it's sort of fun to observe.

I did hear Iceland's submission, though. If Iceland were the only place that cared, it was well deserved, I really liked that one.

Well, I'm Romanian, and I know of quite a few people who care about Eurovision. Personally, I consider it to be a spectacle of mediocrity, and indeed the main reason my family and I even watch the show, is to metaphorically throw shit at all the performances, more so at the completely unbiased voting that's going on.
The only other reason to watch this show is to see what stunt Moldova is going to pull off that year.

Speaking of which.

The only thing I can think of when I hear the word 'Eurovision' is this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHy7DGLTt8g]

I just discovered that guy earlier today. He changed my life.
