Oh look!
The conciliatory left is present!

Well so far I have to say one thing I hate that every music video clip I try to listen to, there's a political ad attached to it

[The Mad Monk]

...so this isn't about Eurovision?

I didn't understand anything so I'll agree.

[The Mad Monk]

I didn't either until I read the notes.

Eurovision 2014

The main theme of Eurovision 2014 was Eurovision History.

But it also had two smaller themes.
1) The Danish hosts were trying to be a little creepy as a nod to Danish actors always being hired to play villains in American and English films and TV. That was the reason behind the weird stalker segment and shooting fireworks at the commentators.
2) They acknowledged that Eurovision is very popular among gays, which is why it had one female host and two males who were being very *ahem* friendly with each other.

So could it be more fitting that a drag queen who sang a James Bond themed song won?

America in the background is because The Netherlands' song was about as American as Eurovision will allow.

Overall there were quite a few good songs this year, so I encourage you to go look for them.

Gonna go out on a limb and guess the joke is that nobody votes for EP elections because the issues are on things like agricultural subsidies and cinnamon buns.

I didn't watch eurovision. (is there anyone who does?)
I just saw the winning song.
It's about seeing beyond the beard and rising like phoenix.
Both good enough.

Don't forget forcing cucumbers to be straight.

That was pertulent for the 90's

I have to comment on google's ad service though.
Let's take terror x crew. Half of Greece thinks they're anarchists. Half of Greece think they're nationalists. (amongst the hip hop savants that is)

Now, it's not according to the song that the political ad pops up.
Nah. It's according to the video clip attached to it.

So, leftist video clip images? = syriza radical left

Patriotic video images?= Right wing.


Really got to give it to the google advertising.

[Bereta_Eder]

lol ok

method of procrustes
zero political ads

[Felch]

Holy **** that Dutch song was pure pop-country. If you told me it was Lady Antebellum or something, I'd totally believe you.

Why do you do this to yourselves?
