ummmmm, Fredia, it is the fucking steM that you refer to.   Why?  Yeah, yeah, knock down the brewers in the central yada yada, but really, the steM?  If we were nearing the playoffs, maybe, but c'mon, it's May.

Well, Fredia, you're off and running on your wish. Mets win the first one 5-4.

I am pretty sure that Limey would tell you that, lamentably or not, Chris DeBurgh is not a one-hit wonder.

maybe so; but lady in red causes more cases of

Chris DeBurgh actually did some good stuff.  Lady in Red ain't a particular favorite of mine, but he's far from a 1-hit wonder.

You are not even close to rock bottom with this list because you are not subjected to the annual shitpile of music that is the Eurovision Song Contest.  I was over in Limeyland when they were having the "big night of TV" where they pick the UK entry (which came second last).  I was amazed because they haven't advanced one nanosecond in 20 years.  The competition was won by Serbia.  Finland won it last year.

It's horrible.  Just horrible.  And the UK entry will be played literally ad nauseam on the radio...until it wildly panned by the judge from Kazakhstan: "This song smell like my seester's virgin after family gangbang night."

Hell yeah!  Or..Hell No!

Whichever is the ebullient agreement that CDB sucks.

T'was Dream Academy.

For ease of reference, here's the UK entry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6FmisoHSc0) to this year's contest.  Yes, this actually beat out other songs to get to the finals at the Institute of Going A Bit Red in Helsinki.

This is the all-conquering Serbian entry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgcl5K1HHDE).  And, just for laffs, here's Finland's Gwar-inspired champion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POO33XjtAws) from 2006.  Oh Lordi!

Not quite what I imagined a sultry Serbian crooner to look like.

Apparently the screenwriters behind Borat are making a comedy movie about Eurovision.  http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117964843.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

You mean you didn't know that's what he looked like?

You know, that British entry has to be some sort of elaborate joke. I'm sitting there thinking in the dozen or so seconds that I could stomach it (I thinks quick!) that not even Ricky Gervais could come up with something like this.

And placing behind any former Yugoslavian territory in any sort of contest or competition just doesn't give you the recommendation that you were hoping for. I mean, 'We came in second - right behind Serbia!' That's not really a ringing endorsement, is it?

Not second.  Second-to-last.

Wow. Poor Ireland. The only votes they get are from Albania. There's got to be a sort of inverted satisfaction to placing dead last in the Eurovision Song Contest. I imagine the Irish were men about it, though, donning their fancy hats and skirts and dancing about to the sprightly tune of a fife and so on.

The joke is that the Irish won so much, that they finally started sending their worst acts so they wouldn't have to foot the bill of hosting the damn thing every year.
