Lordi

So basically, this mad Finnish metal band had decided to liven up the idiotic Eurovision song contest. Having done something like that in the past (though admittedly it was only in a school talent show, the intent was the same- To scare everyone and make things a bit more interesting) these people will certainly get my vote... as soon as I work out how to cast it, that is. I've never heard the band, and they're probably one of those bands that scream themselves hoarse to disguise their lack of rythm- in other words, they're going to win the contest hands-down.

To quote my friend delfeus:
Not only is Lordi a genuinely decent hard rock act in the footsteps of Kiss, its concept - a visual, tongue-in-cheek monster show - is delightfully insolent. The band is as atypical a contestant as there's ever been, and most certainly the most outrageous performer in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest. Its selection into the contest is nothing short of poetic justice, a sharp-nailed middle finger presented to the shocked, sheepish masses. The infamy it has raised in the European media, as well as the laughable satanism outrage from boneheaded religious folks merely improve the laughs for those of us who Get It.


So yeah, all you people who put 'Jedi' as your religion, VOTE FOR LORDI!

All of you who love metal, VOTE FOR LORDI!

All of you who hate the Eurovision song contest, VOTE FOR LORDI!

And all of you who have nothing better to do, VOTE FOR LORDI!

I know I will.
