i don't care much about eurovision. bad music. truly. and competition has no place in art; this is not artistry, it's athletics. as a punk rock guitarist, this irritates me. it's like having a scale-playing competition, instead of just enjoying the tunes.

however, i have to say that it's ok to criticize the israeli team for sucking. it's ok to jeer them. it's even ok to throw bagels at them, so long as you throw hummus after, too.

while it's fine to tell them they suck, banning the israelis outright sends no valid political message. it just makes you look like dumb nazis, which everybody already knows that you are.
