This weekend sees this year’s extravaganza of kitsch, otherwise known as Eurovision. We’ll be glued to the TV, watching the BBC simply because of Terry Wogan’s post-ironic commentary. Eurovision really is the biggest pile of tosh, and for that reason is irresistible. Some of the performers and their entourage are probably a few sandwiches short of a full lunch as well. For example, in the report of the press conference from the 12th May, we read:
Before Silvia arrived to meet the press, her boyfriend instructed the journalists not to look the Icelandic star Silvia Night in the eye or else they would be removed. “I welcome you all to enjoy my stay in Athens,” said Silvia when she did arrive. “I am an international superstar and you are all my children.”
Yes, dear, just keep taking the tablets.
