Eurovision disappointment

Please, wake up from your catatonic stupor, dear readers. I know you never expected these two words to be in the same sentence, at least not on this blog, but yes, here they are. And I shall even tell you why.

The lovely Dominiek brought us his tape of "Congratulations", the 50 year anniversary show. When I say "brought" I mean he hung it in a little plastic bag on our door handle, nearly alerting the bomb squad of Iz who thought they were dealing with yet another attack on our lives. We got there just in time before they blew up the suspect package.
And I nearly wish they had blown it up.
What a crap show that was. The only good things about the show are the few original performers, the medleys and the compilations. I could have done without all the rest, which would have diminished the show to a good hour.
Thank god we could fast forward!

And then there was yesterday. Junior Eurovision doesn't hold that big an appeal to me (camp is just not camp when performed by minors), but the few Bosnian dialects are always good for a bit of Piglet's attention, as you all know. Needless to say I was a big fan of Serbia & Montenegro (the thing about the football, with a lot of "la la la") who probably only got points from other Yugoslavian countries.
But that horrible poodle thing that won the contest, my god, have Eurovision viewers got no taste left?! It sucked! It blew! It was awful! I know people must have been traumatised because of Marcel Vanthilt, but seriously.... there was no need to react that heavily to it.
No, Piglet does not agree with Europe. Long live Serbia & Montenegro. Long live Lindsay!
