    No one thinks this is…a little suspicious? Just when they’re catching flack from the left, the first NB winner! Feels very, very much like pacification to me. “Try protesting us now!” type of shit.

        Yes, the public votes for one thing, and the “professional” jury selects someone entirely different -Switzerland came fifth, but won.

      at last the trans agenda is revealed: to win a reasonably obscure pop music competition that barely, if at all, affects the pop music charts.

          its complete trash and dont understand why people seem to love it so much but its huge.

          back when we stil cared, the fact that it was complete trash was why we loved it.
          We looked forward to a bunch of people wearing tinfoil suits performing the most eurodance song you could imagine.
          Or polish women pointlessly churning butter on stage in an oversexualized fashion.
          Or one of the most epic sax performances.
          Or just Lordi being Lordi

          Particularly, because the ESC was always commented by a radio moderator named Peter Urban who would make the snarkiest remarks about any perfomers. No one I know cares about the “serious” performances.

        These .world comments are fucking wild. Really telling that the are the same people desperately trying to convince the LBGT vote while posting bigotry in the next breath.
