Eurovision nonsense

I have been saying that for years particularly as it is quite obvious United Kingdom are never going to win due to the political voting. I watched about three minutes last night and Belarus were voting and surprise, surprise gave all their votes to other former Russian States - what a load of absolute tosh. The other thing that gets me is that we are one of the biggest contributors financially - not quite where I would like to see my licence money go.

Although it wasn’t the best, I still love it. I wrote the inevitable review, of course.

Wow Kim what a great way to say what Zaphod said in four words ‘biggest load of crap’! But seriously you are right about Eurovision without Wogan - his commentary is probably the highlight of this dire event and just about makes it watchable.

Seriously, Kim, kind of wondering about where you get the homophobia from: Eurovision is one of the campest things on television.

I do believe that might be the case, but if that’s a major factor in the voting, how does one account for Marija Serifovic’s song that openly traded on lesbian imagery winning so decisively in 2007?

Apart from it being Serbian, of course.

1996, I thought, but yeah. Dana International.

Come on, Kim, me old china. You can’t have it both ways. You know full well that the countries who are most likely to be discriminatory are the ones who take the thing seriously.

FWIW, I am not post-modern about Eurovision - about five years ago I turned into the fictional but very true Dave Erdman ( http://www.theonion.com/content/node/38688 ).

And you’re calling me post-modern! Hah! :p

That’s what I meant, old chap!

Isn’t having it both ways the ultimate po-mo cop-out?

Or pre-modern.

Have it your way. Or both ways. Or how the fathers had it. Oh, I don’t know. I just think that Azerbaijan were robbed.

And mine. Now *that* would be a good gig, Wood — though imagine having to sit through the semi-finals as well as the main event!
