Re: Eurovision
Well, you've resisted it for 51 years so it probably won't happen now.. It's even been known to trigger wars!! In 1974 Portugal’s military was plotting a coup. The signal to mark to start of the uprising was encoded in the country’s Eurovision song
It used to be quite the thing back in the day.. then all the eastern european countries split and all of a sudden there is like a gazillion countries wanting to take part.. now all these nations that divided just vote for each other, Greece vote for Cyprus and vice versa, neither vote for Turkey.... it's SO political now, it's a farce... which probably makes it better!!
The other thing it's got a rep for here is.. homosexuals.. now i'm not judging anyone here, hell, I watch the thing every year, but Eurovision is huge in the gay scene!!
