...and the Christians aren't happy. The Swiss entry in the competition DJ Bobo will perform a song called "Vampires Are Alive". According to Thomas Feuz of the Federal Democratic Union:
"The song is bad from our point of view...the song has a destructive meaning and we want it stopped."
Thomas, of course it's bad. It's entered in Eurovision for fuck's sake. Have you ever watched the programme?
Note for Americans: if you have never seen the Eurovision Song contest I urge you to make an effort to do so. It is simultaneously some of the absolutely worst television you will ever see and yet it is oddly hypnotic. Maybe it's the drugs.

As a person who actually LIKES Abba's "Waterloo," I can't say that Eurovision is 100% bad. I have to admit that I haven't heard too many of the songs, though. Lordi sounded enjoyable. DJ Bobo didn't sound atrocious, but he didn't sound good, either. And don't the Eurovisionaires make a great deal of fuss over staging? Glad we don't do that in the U.S. (whoops, forgot about Kiss).
