Looks like they "fortified" the Eurovision vote to give Ukraine the win

tl;dr as I understand it: the Eurovision organizers overrode the votes of 6 countries because they didn't vote in line with the organizers' "recommendation".
tl;dr the Eurovision song contest has always been a farce and political 'voting' has been at the core of it. To the point where the old UK presenter used to call it out until he quit and they replaced him with a fag.
That's a mandatory requirement to enter Eurovision tho
I have never seen an Eurovision where it wasn't corrupt in some way. So, nothing new here...
It was a given that Ukraine would win even before it began.
Same contest Israel won with a tranny, it's always been political theater.
I'm shocked the UK was allowed to come second.
Their entry didn't suck and apparently he's a trending singer and not a has-been from 10 years ago.
I don't know about that. Ireland has all but shot itself in the head in the name of pro Ukrainian nonsense, by literally having open borders for Ukrainians with zero cap on numbers. We're in massive debt all ready, and have been spending billions upon billions on things we don't need, and now we're spending billions more on Ukrainians. They are guaranteed a home, social welfare, free medical care, college places, thing we don't even offer to our own. The main streets of Dublin are literally covered in Ukraine flags too. So we're in the process of accelerating our decline all in the name of "slava Ukraine".
I called it when I saw the news articles.
FUCK the Ukrainian Virtue Signal Industry 3: Snake Eater.
They ARE kicking Russia's butts though. This is why people are sick of this "Slava Ukraine!" bullshit: They DON'T need our help, but the woke are meddling in matters that don't concern them and accelerating the death of western society in the process.
Shut your mouth ya conspiracy nutter.
EDIT: I mean, it's common knowledge that Ukraine is winning. They have drones, Russia doesn't. You're pushing this "Ukraine is losing and they're selective reporting" nonsense because you're an obsessive anti-SJW. The opposite end of what makes this culture war so infuriating.
I miss proper variety shows. I'm actually tired of everything being a competition now.
I remember hearing about that/seeing clips of it. I also remember the Gong Show (yeah, it was that bad, but when you're a kid, it's fun.)
But we also had Real People, That's Incredible!, and Those Amazing Animals, as well as things like The Smith and Smith Comedy Hour, and well, Bizarre and Super Dave.
And lest we forget The Smothers Brothers and Wayne and Shuster (though I don't remember the latter all that well, and mostly only saw the Smothers on other shows.)
And SCTV, and SNL back when Eddie Murphy was still funny.
