Boom bang-a-bang

Eurovision. What a crock of shite. A competition which is supposed to be representitive of european creativity turned into (as always) an old pals act as neighbours and close allies voted for each other. No wonder the crowd were booing after Serbia were awarded yet another 12 points for a meaningless dirge sung by a fat KD Lang lookalike.

The rest of the songs weren't much cop either. Ignoring the UK entry, with its innuendo ("would you like something to suck on before landing?"), utter shite was the order of the day. Ireland's entry consisted of some bint banging a bodrun, Ukraine's entry was sung by a tranny wrapped in tin-foil, and Finland seemed to think the best way to defend its title was to have some scowling woman singing "Leave me alone".

I wish she would have!

I realise it's supposed to all be in the name of good fun, but this is the continent that gave the world Beethoven, Brahms, and The Beatles FFS! The worst part is that our licence fee goes towards this, a contribution which ensures we can't be knocked out in the stages before.

The obvious answer, dear reader, is of course to switch off the tv. However despite its faults, the voting is a bit of a laugh. Apparently the voters in Ireland and Malta (who gave us the maximum of 12 points!) thought our entry was brilliant. Don't be surprised if diplomatic relations with these countries hit an all time high...
