Sorry for wasting bandwidth:

Finland has won the Eurovision Song Contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Probably anybody outside Europe couldn't care less, and (to be honest) 
probably most folks in Europe, too.

But for our National Pride, this is something that happens Once In a 
Lifetime (as opposed to winning the World Championships in ski jumping 
or ice hockey or F1). We've participated in the ESC the last 50 or so 
years, and never have we scored better than 6th or so.

To summarise, I have a hard time staying in my pants, and this 
particular OT-offense won't be repeated (by me) as long as I live.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Haven't watched the ESC in years. I find to way to politically loaded, 
hardly a contest. Also the songs are hard to tell apart from previous years, 
and from eachother. If you hear a song, within the first 10 seconds you 
should be able to tell whether it was an ESC song, or a 'commercial' one :)

Congratulations nonetheless :)

I sincerely recommend you listen to the short demo available at 
http://www.eurovisiondownloadshop.tv, it's certainly way different than the 
other entries in the ESC.

 Congratulations nonetheless :)


Thanks! As a Finn myself, I'm ecstatic for the success of Lordi in the ESC. 
Realistically, I had thought we'd be able to make the top 5 (our best 
position so far has been 6th with Marion Rung's "Tom Tom Tom" back in the 
70's, which has since been repeated once, as I recall), but to win the ESC? 
It's something special, we've been trying for it for 40 years.
