The Ten Plagues, Part 3
Manolo says, Ayyyyyyy! The angry God he continues to punish his wayward children by visiting upon them the horrors of the Eurosvision Song Contest.
Today’s carnage?
…twirling skirts and pudgy backup dancers..
…the Turks…
…Ukrainian rappers, who look like your grocer…
…”artistic” Greek choreography…
…Red Hot Granny and the Chili Peppers!
*sob*

I never thought to look for Snoop Dogg in Turkey!

Manolo, my heart goes out to you in gratitude — thank you for bringing us this astonishing series of images! They burn they eyes, yes, but they also bring many laughs — thank you thank you!

Another good reason to stop the forthcoming EU. No way these people should get organized

If The Scarlett looks at the guy in the red, fringed rug (accessorized with red knee-highs! and red sneakers!) for too long, she feels a little light-headed.

The world is obviously going to end any moment now.

Wow, the Ukies put up the group that created the unofficial song of the country’s Orange Revolution! I would worry that mixing Eurovision’s cheese with actual political commentary would cause a matter/antimatter-type combustion, but so far so…well, good isn’t quite the word for this festival of horrors, but at least Kyiv is still standing.

Between the “Big-ass Man Fiddle”, Anthony Keidis and his sweet little ol’ mother and Redhead’s comment about looking for Snoop Dogg in Turkey, I can hardly catch my breath. My sides hurt and my head might explode at any given second from trying to hold in the office-inappropriate hysterical laughter, but its SO worth it!
HILARIOUS, Manolo. Thank you! :)
May 20th, 2005 at 5:02 pm
OMG…even funnier that I read “big ASS man-fiddle” the first time around.
*roars with laughter at her own embarrassing blunder*
Cheers!

You gotta wonder about a guy who can actually paint his chest.

Tia Nieve says that does NOT look like the Tia’s Ukranian grocer! That looks like the Tia’s dry cleaner. Now the Tia knows why she cannot pick up her cleaning until tomorrow.

Holy fat-ass back-up dancers! Forget sending monetary aid to those poor Eastern Euro-trash countries - send them back-up dancers, stat!

Maybe I’d have better luck in the romance department if I got my fat ass over to Eastern Europe. Maybe the chubbito look says you have enough assets to spring for a good meal over there.
I didn’t say assets did I?

We watched the WHOLE thing. Thank God for Terry Wogan’s comments. I would have had to commit suiced by bashing my head into the television set other wise. I posted my thoughts on it on my blog, but my biggest question remains: Why can’t these poor countries afford complete costuems? Why couldn’t the Hugarian band have two pant legs? Why why?

And why why why can’t I type better?

[…] e digging around the Eurovision Song Contest. Tim Blair mocks the lyrics while the Manalo handles the “fashion” (and I do mean to use scare quotes there) […]

“send them back-up dancers, stat! ”
Send them back up dancers that look like they won’t eat your babies and still require a plate of ribs to finish the meal. Because JAYSUS!

The laughing, it will not stop.

La BellaDonna asks, why is the Damon performing for the Turks? And since that is the Damon, the other must be the Jan.
Why is the Chris Muir involved in the Eurovision Crashfest?
