Oh, Lordi!

So the annual cheese-fest that is the Eurovision song contest was won by a Finnish heavy metal band who dress up as monsters. No doubt the fuss surrounding them was a big factor in their eventual victory. Some in Finland thought that they would be an embarrassment to the country. Some even accused them of being satanists. And there's also the little matter of them refusing to appear without their costumes. However, it has to be said that theirs was one of the better entries in this year's competition (we gave them 12 points, so that's got to mean something!) One thing's for sure,it was a lot better than our country's effort. Not even surrounding himself with dancers dressed as naughty schoolgirls could save our representative from coming a dismal 19th. Serves him right anyway, as he comes across as a right arrogant sod.
