And the winner of the Eurovision song contest is ….

Lordi!

That’s one of the funniest most genius pictures I’ve ever seen. And I adore the caption:

Lordi, the winners of Eurovision Song Contest, at a press conference in Helsinki, Finland on Monday May 22, 2006.

Such matter of fact language. And then THAT is the picture???

It’s not as funny as this classic bit of humor (which I still am unable to look at, despite repeated viewings, without literally falling apart in laughter) – but it’s up there. I mean … just that the caption says “at a press conference” and … LOOK AT HIM!! Or it could be a her. What do I know. I LOVE IT.

Congrats, Finnish Monster-men!!

GO EUROVISION!

    I believe it is! But who cares if you’re wielding a huge BATTLE AXE!! hahahaha

    Oh, but scroll down that page, tracey … scroll down … it gets so funny that i am pretty much unable to even read the text. but the text is just as funny.

    On Lordi … it’s so cool that a band like this can get this kind of press. 15 years ago, when GWAR was having their minor success the only time you read about them was when they were getting arrested for public lewdness.

    Delicious. Horray. Yes. Go. Oh yeah. More. Fantastic. I couldn’t be happier.

    Holy crap.

    I can’t scroll down yet, Sheila. I literally CANNOT get past that first picture. The whole SCA-A-A-ARY combo …. and then the little fly.

    Kind of makes KISS look like a brownie troop by comparison.

    OK, this is the contest that launched ABBA’s career. I’m beginning to think that Eurovision is the musical equivalent of the California electorate.

    If you scroll down the page, there’s something called “(The Other) Top 10 Most Ridiculous Black Metal Pics of All Time*,” which I’ve never seen before but am so so so glad I have now.

    “One of our Ruthless brethren put it best when he said, “If a man has grown tired of Horgh’s nipples, he has grown tired of life.”

    True dat.

    *Not work-safe, that last one. ::shudder::

    A demon from the pits of hell?? I love it. And I just love the image of this MONSTER standing at a bank of microphones.
