POLL: Can The Eurovision Go Fuck Itself?
ONCE a celebration of taste and talent, the Eurovision Song contest has descended into a gaudy monstrosity where dozens of countries send forward a committee-approved act at enormous cost to prostitute themselves for points on a stage shared with juggling grannies and skateboarding dogs.
