I do beleive those are two of the greatest pictures known to man.
 
Okay so I re-watched it all again tonight (sober this time).

The Bosnian entry was by far the best there I think. I love the song, got the Eurovision CD now aswell... best £8.95 ever!
I'm not saying I didn't think Lordi deserved to win, I think I just got a bit used to them.

I've been reading the lyrics to all the non-english songs... I'm seriously confused about what in the hell the Croations think when they write songs:

Tic-tac half past three
You will pinch me, not to be seen
Golden ring, tiny moustache
I know very well those like you

Ring, ring, you’ll ask for my number
knock, knock, knock to someone else
Little girl
wear your socks
because the grass has not grown
where my high heel has stepped in

Oi-da, da, oi da, da
oi da, da, da
my, my high heel

Pss, pss, go away to someone else
cupa, cupa, zumba, zumba
hay, straw, cheese, ham
the beet has grown, the beet has died
Africa, paprika

Another travesty: Google image search Natalia Gordienco and you get 0 results! What's all that about?

Fearne Cotton being as funny as ever:

What? Are you saying that "Afrika, paprika" is not the greatest line ever? :D

I have a rather non-educated guess; the lyrics are purely meant to sound nice to someone who doesn't speak the language. Because most of the voters don't. Of course subtitles can somewhat ruin the idea.

Even Natalia Gordienko doesn't help much. :P Maybe it's a stage name? Might have something to do with Molvan... Moldova's internet penetration, too.
 
Heh, sadly no. Unless I've recently turned into a woman. :-D All three were females, one of them a little kid.

I don't think that there ever was really supposed to be a demonstration, someone just had posted the idea in some forum and apparently our police has ears everywhere. :) There certainly was no official announcement of demonstration to the police.

But it was so great! Netroots activism made the gutter press apologize. :-D

Their webservers went down because of DoS' several times, their forums were spammed full of hate posts, their customer service received thousands of complaints (I sent one!), probably at least few hundred requests to clarify whether person X was in their direct marketing database (law requires them to reply swiftly) and many (that's their official comment) people cancelled their subscriptions.

Also email addresses, (work) phone numbers and photos of their staff were circulated amongst the crowd. They pulled them off their site pretty quickly... but of course it was too late by then. I suspect that they might have had to change their phone numbers too. :P And certainly they need a serious spam filters.

And in the end... the worst paper in Finland... gave in and apologized. In TV too. :-D

They don't even dare to sue anyone about the DoSsing! Police is investigating few illegal threats (as opposed to legal threats, I suppose :P), which most likely means that someone threatened them with violence. But that's it, and probably there won't be charges against those people either, since the law requires that the threat is credible.
