Apparently the [Finnish entry](http://eurovision.lordi.org/main.site?action=siteupdate/view&id=2) is going to be a harbinger of the Apocalypse (at least according a [Greek bar owner](http://www.paskedi.gr/UserPages/NewsLetterPreview.aspx?ID=58)).
Where’s Cliff Richard when you need him?

The song is a good bit tamer than you’d think from the photos of their stage costumes. “More Bon Jovi than Black Sabbath” is how one commentator described it. Certainly nowhere near Satanic. I think they’re just having fun freaking people out 🆒😛

Thet were interviewed on the BBC the other night. In full make up. At midday. By a rooftop hotel pool. In Athens. In summer.
The most coherent comment thay made was “it’s as hot as hell sitting here. This is going to a short interview” 😃

Does anyone have a real Englsih translation for the best Eurovision winner ever, Severine’s, Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue? All the ones I have found on the internet use an Englsih tranlsator whose results a bit odd.

Eurovision isn’t going to hell, it _came_ from hell.
