Eurovision song contest: love, peace ... now shake what your mama gave you
All the Euro tropes were there, but Conchita won out over prejudice after facing down some fairly buxom Poles.
<< The "douze points" awarded to Russia by the likes of Azerbaijan and Belarus were met by a chorus of boos. The Slav contingent stayed Putin-loyal. Interestingly, saying much for European tolerance if not long-term unity, Austria creamed it, winning in style with the not-notably-heterosexual bearded drag act Conchita Wurst, who had sung a Bond anthem called, if my notes are correct, Rise Like A Penis. It wasn't at all bad, but I'm so delighted it gave the middle finger to Putin and his ilk: even Georgia voted Austria a couple of points higher than the young Russian twins, who didn't deserve the opprobrium-by-proxy, having made a marvellous fist of singing, while rocking on a massive seesaw with their hair braided together, some words about universal love. >>
