Eurovision!!!

Re: Eurovision!!!

I loved how the British explained their 0 points:

"The other countries didn't give us points because of the war in Iraq."

The fact that the song sucked ass and made me want to beat myself with a blunt object doesn't come to their attention.

You are american, that's worse.

Um...

Bilbo, you seem to have this stereotype that all Americans are stupid or ignorant due to the actions of a select few. In essence, this makes you the one assuming everything, and as stated thusly-

It wouldn't be farfetched to say that many Europeans are just as ignorant or stupid as some Americans can be. So don't consider yourself so high and mighty simply because you live on one side of a rather large puddle as compared to the other.

Only 11% of American students can point out Iraq on a map.

OMG YUO R SMRT!

I actually saw an extract of Gemini on "Have I got News for You". They've even become the joke of KID'S SHOWS for christs sake. They said the stage equipement let them down. How so? The supporting voices weren't loud enough to drown them out?

How could ANYTHING be worse then them? Austria can't have been, surely?

Edit - Anyone see the Johnaton Ross show? RADIOHEAD FOR UK EUROVISION 2004!!

I watched the clip on "Have I Got News For You" as well.
Damn it was awful! Anything like that deserves nothing.
The joke they made about it summed it up:

"Their excuse was faulty stage equipment"
"Yeah, the microphones were working"


Maybe if they were lesbians and/or transexual they would have got more votes......

[ZeUs!!]

The guy presenting Have I Got News For You this week - Hugh Dennis - should be the full time presenter. He's got the potential and is actually funny in his own right rather than reading the autoque. And yeah I saw Jonathon Ross, if Radiohead did Eurovision the 800 million watching would top themselves.
