Today's the first semi final of the Eurovision Song Contest.

In the past years I used this spot to tell you why you should vote for the Swiss Song.
This year I will only give you one reason why you should not vote for Switzerland.

If you vote for the Swiss Entry to this years ESC you will be supporting
The Salvation Army

The six musicans are all members of the SA. They won the Swiss selection under the name of "Heilsarmee Band" (Salvation Army Band) wearing their typical uniforms.

Afterwards there was a shitstorm when the EBU told them that they could not perform at the ESC representing their sect because the rules don't allow any commercial,political and/or religious motives.
(One of the stupidest arguments presented over and over why there should be an exception of this rule for the SA was that Lordi where allowed to perform in their satanical costumes after all)

Now they are called Takasa. Officially this means "cleansing", but - Honi soit qui mal y pense - it can also be seen as an acronym for "The Artists known as Salvation Army"


So, however catchy the song "You and Me" may be, please don't vote for a homophobic, religious cult/sect


Feel free to link to this entry to spread the word.

Yay, I had them in my top three!

Whoever decided that Jan Delay deserves to be featured as break artist in an Eurovision finale needs to be shot

even the Swiss Station who normaly never goes into commercials during Eurovision decided that it can't hurt to do it during this display of bad taste

We really have to watch Jedward again on Saturday

I think it is safe to say that Switzerland will not advance, as we are one of the pathetic countries that send a Lena-clone
Plus - again - all countries that we could shove a point or two in out direction out of sympathy vote in the second semi final.


Surfing some Eurovision related sites today i found this interesting polls

- 46% of the Germans believe that Lena will win again
- 42% of the Swiss don't believe that Anna will even make it to the final

I think that shows perfectly why the mentality often clashes in everyday life, with Germans now making up the biggest group of immigrants in Switzerland

I pedict the German Media to be unbarable until the World Cup

- Romania - I like that song more and more and more....

- Germany - I left the pork light on, oh olaf ..... yeah, I know it is easy to make fun of her accent

- Oh look, a second performance for Spain ...... hmmmm......

- "Fairytale" that song is still fantastic even after listening to it for hundreds of times, for a year
