Are you looking forward to the Eurovision finals on Saturday?

[purplepoppy]

Eurovision is the most important event happening in Europe this week. Countries all over Europe such as Australia and Israel are sending their best musicians to represent them. At the end of 5 hours, we're all fluent in 12 languages and had to explain 30 different genders to granny. The best bit? 2 hours of voting and listen to "UK null point."

So are you looking forward to it?

Gutted, Australia has been eliminated. We won't hear their meaningful lyrics in the final

[CalmUntilAbused]

Okay, it looks like I had the wrong impression of You... This take of Yours is so ridiculously funny (Australia being called a European country really blew the cover for me, since some would find excuses to consider the occupied zone of Palestine that You called "Israel" for some reason to be a European "country") that it's clearly ironic. If some of Your political takes were in similar spirit, it looks like I severely misjudged Your stance. The problem is, those political takes were perfectly in the bounds of the currently "acceptable" "progressive" narrative, so they did not give off those obvious "trolling" vibes from me.

Honestly, had I not noticed this offhand trolling comment about Australia, I might have gone into a rant about how serious geopolitical decisions are being discussed recently, which are clearly much more important than the Eurovision, and about how You are attempting to cover them up. On second thought, Your question might have been aimed at those people who are capable of some deep thinking and meant to actually bring attention to those more important topics.

Therefore, kudos to You!

Oh, I suppose I am expected to actually answer the question, though... Well, I didn't really pay attention to the Eurovision so far, so I am severely lacking data, but unless there's some actually good song on the Eurovision, like, say, Hard Rock Hallelujah by Lordi had once been, I do not care about the Eurovision, including its finals, at all.

Well, purplepoppy, I'm delighted that the Europeans are still trying to figure out the difference between male and female. We hope you are enjoying the company of Rosie O'Donnell and her nonbinary child. But as an ardent supporter of all things American, my attention is focused on events that truly matter, like the growth of our domestic industries and the continued success of President Donald J. Trumps' Executive Orders. While Europeans enjoy their singing contest, I'll be busy admiring the craftsmanship of my new, all-American Ford F-150, proudly assembled by hardworking men and women right here in the heartland of the United States.

[Danzigdawson]

Again with this? The fuck is wrong with you?

[Douglas1180]

@Danzigdawson Perhaps you need some silky soft tissues Made in the USA, so that you can cry liberal tears. www.kleenex.com/.../ultra-soft-facial-tissues-cube-box

[Danzigdawson]

@douglas1180 No thanks, you answer was far from funny enough to make me cry laughing.

Anyway, if this ever happens, I'll gladly use canadian-made Scotties, since we're boycotting all of your shit until trump has a heart attack or gets lynched by an angry mob. You might want to buy a box while it's still affordable to you, before your dollar is worthless and your country experiences shortages of every kind of product imaginable.

I just hope that they'll start making toilet paper with trump's ugly face on it. All of the ones I've seen so far seem to be US made.

[Douglas1180]

@Danzigdawson Yeah boycott us by using your Canadian-made tissues in a factory that is owned by a company in Texas. You're fucking brilliant.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberly-Clark

[Douglas1180]

@Danzigdawson Yeah that's right -- Scotties are trademarked by Kimberly-Clark. So much for your Canadian-made Scotties. They're basically our slaves like so many other companies -- one more thing for you to cry about.

[Danzigdawson]

@douglas1180 Kimberly-Clark bought the brand and sold the trademark in the late 90's to two different companies: Irving mediocre American tissue, which produces and sells the brand in trumpland and Kruger, which produces and sells the brand in Canada. I doubt that you understand what this means since it's been shown countless times that you're fucking stupid, but basically, it's made by Canadian workers in Canadian factories and the profits from all of the sales of Canadian-made Scotties in Canada are generated for Kruger, which is a Canadian company.

Also, you don't need to reply what's basically the same affirmation twice, one hour apart. People are not idiots like you. They'll get what you mean the first time around. It's not that complicated.

[Douglas1180]

@Danzigdawson America owns the trademark, which means we own the Candians who are making the "Canadian" tissues. Go cry about that in your safe place, you woketard.

[Danzigdawson]

@douglas1180 You do and you don't. Fuck you're stupid, or you can't read, or both. The trademark was sold to two different companies. An American one and a Canadian one. Want me to say it one more time? Two different companies. Two. Different. Companies. Scotties sold in the US are US-made and sold in the US by an American company. Scotties sold in Canada are made and sold in Canada by a Canadian company. Kimberly Clark only owned scotties briefly in the late 1990's before it sold it back to TWO. DIFFERENT. COMPANIES. Are you able to make sense of all of this complicated, confusing information?

[Douglas1180]

@Danzigdawson Please stop it with this emotional meltdown. This is the problem with you brainwashed liberals. You get all emotional and cannot see the truth even if it's staring you in the face. Scroll to the very bottom of the website you sent me. What does it say? Registered trademark of Kimberly-Clark Worldwide. Every time you wipe your Canadian ass, you are paying an American!

[Danzigdawson]

@douglas1180 I'll admit that it's really hard to keep your cool when you're talking to someone this fucking stupid. You really are astonishingly dumb, even for a MAGA turd. But, let's calm down...

A simple research about the sale agreement of the trademark between the 2 companies would have allowed you to know that Kruger no longer pay royalties to Kimberly-Clark. The sale terms have been fulfilled. They have not paid a single stinky American cent to Kimberly-Clark since 2007.

So, for the THIRD time: no. I'm proudly wiping my incredible, perfect, sexy Canadian butt without sending a single cent to some MAGA enabling fucker down south of the border.

😄 🖕🇨🇦🖕 😄

[Douglas1180]

@Danzigdawson It must be hard watching America dominate the global conversation while your biggest export is Ryan Reynolds’ Twitter account. I'm so sorry you people aren't intelligent enough to start globabl businesses and rake in piles of cash like America does when we lease out trademarks out to losers like you, whose global influence ranks somewhere between “syrup” and “moose.” Meanwhile, the rest of us were over here dominating the world, while your currency’s value is backed by maple leaves and Pussy Trudeau's Tik Tok videos.

[Douglas1180]

@Danzigdawson Look at this gender-confused idiot. He sounds like a housewife who's husband just cheated on him. "How dare you betray us like this, Mr. America. You know what? You know what I'm going to do? Well I don't know but I'm going to do something." https://youtu.be/83f47jIS_D8?si=XNIF-fKkqCln4NxJ

[Danzigdawson]

@douglas1180 Move on, Trudeau-obsessed whiny little bitch. Mark Carney's the PM now.

Again:
😄 🖕🇨🇦🖕 😄

[Douglas1180]

@Danzigdawson Oh, another libtard PM, that's nice. Maybe Donald Trump can teach you and him how a current trademark notice proves there is an active licensing agreement, and that businesses don't just give them away, stupid bitch.

[Danzigdawson]

@douglas1180 Yes, we are doing just fine over here, thank you for asking!

😄🖕🖕🖕🖕🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🖕🖕🖕🖕

[Douglas1180]

@Danzigdawson Just admit that you and your stupid bitch libtard PM have to PAY AMERICA TO WIPE YOUR ASS, because you're a bunch of worthless fucktards and can't even make toilet paper correctly.

[Danzigdawson]

@douglas1180 Alright, I'll admit it, since it seems really important to you... you know, with your country going down the drain with Cheeto Mussolini at the helm. That must not be easy for you, being proven wrong about everything all the time. Yes, we are sending billions and trillions of dollars every year to the US just for the privilege to wipe our asses. I can't even remember what it's like to not have to give 75% of my salary to your toilet paper companies for the privilege of wiping myself. It's really humiliating. If only we had the know-how and the ressources to do something by and for ourselves, over here... Oh wait: we do. It's surprisingly easy to buy almost everything we need from Canadian companies. Trump has proven it to us: we don't need any of your shit.

[Douglas1180]

@Danzigdawson At least your government is smart enough to lie to you, I'll give them that.

[msmissydc]

I have not watched this live, for the last years. But I often have watched specific actors after the show. Germany always sends these super weird musicians no one has ever heard about. Its like a contest for newcomers. Hazel Brugger as moderation should be fun though, She is a great comedian.
Generally the music is not my genre with few exceptions. I do like to watch some choreographies though.
Its always a mix of good and bad at the same time😅

[whereismyjohnny]

No, not this year. Songs are pretty bad this year, and there will probably be a circus with votes in the final like last year when juries tanked Switzerland with points to avoid Israel winning.

Hope Albania wins, lol...

[AyChingao]

Hmm.. last time I saw this Ireland gave us twin eraserheads Jedward dancing in a fountain wielding microphones as it rained. England offered up rapidly fossilizing Englebert Humperdinck, The Russians offered a troup of grannies singing and strutting around a big brick oven... lots of Eastern European techno music, and Hey those crazy Scandinavians. A lot of it was pretty awful. So much so that it was amusing

[andreasderjuengere]

In 1975 (or 1976?) I freed myself from ABBA, after I discovered Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix.

Since then I am immune to populistic blabla music that's disguised in meaningless meaningfulness.

Personally I am surprised that this shit is still being puked out.

[AviatorTom]

I usually watch the Eurovision videos on YouTube after the event is over.

Not sure why Australia is considered part of Eurovision. Why not open the competition to all countries?

[EmmaMary]

@purplepoppy

Personally I would sooner sit in a deckchair in my garden, watching and measuring the grass grow!

[Shiprex]

Not really. it's a bit cringy for me and no longer the fun thing it was set out to be. However, this country is hugely into that cringe so parties will be had

[Lynx122]

I shoud be excited because Switzerland won and now it's gonna take place in Basel but I don't really care tbh. I might watch some clips on the swiss tv website or something.

[Rei13]

I watched it for the first time this year. Estonia, Luxembourg and San Marino were probably my favorites and I have since gone down a rabbit hole watching previous performances.

[NicholasRedone]

@purplepoppy lol as an Aussie wouldn't you like to hear my lyrics ha, lady 🤭 chuckle. Anyways go the UK if they're still in the finals or Austria 😋🤭

[Lliam]

I actually have no interest. But if I did, I would boycott it over the fact that Israel is allowed to participate.

[integrale77]

It's too political and we (UK) are too hung up on getting unknown singers to try and carry things when a more famous singer might just clinch it!

[ShrunkenGuy]

Nope, haven’t been or watched it for years, for exactly the reasons you surreptitiously mention in your question.

[ShrunkenGuy]

Also, it’s “UK… nil poi”.

[ohsheeT]

I wonder if I can find it on line that would be great

[MrChinaski]

I would prefer a functional NATO. Call me old-fashioned.

[MrChinaski]

II was gutted about the milkshake guy too.

[MrChinaski]

Are you an Aussie?

[purplepoppy]

No. I just appreciate songs about seeing a man's caramel banana and asking if you want to taste the milkshake man. Deep meaningful lyrics we can all appreciate.

[MrChinaski]

Well, you made me laugh.

[DrPepper12]

I wish!! It's really cool but as a yank I don't pay enuf attention

[AngryCarl2]

I quit watching Eurovision in the 1970s. I assume it hasn't improved.

[fish5505_87]

Totally lost on the other side of the pond! Sounds, interesting?

[Anonymous]

Not really, Eurovision sucks for the last two decades (you mentioned some of the reasons).

[robocop666]

most songs are garbage and there's too much nonsense in it.

[Fireguy17]

never heard of it, so that would be a no.

[Iron_Man]

They don’t televise that in the USA

[Panthero80]

Australia is not in Europe.

[Aldan1609]

Dr. Who won't be there?
