Dustin the Turkey's Bid for the Eurovision (3 Viewers)

[ernesto]

No age in whelans were class by the way. Just thought I'd say that.

cheers

We're some shower of simple cunts. We're probably the only country in the history of the eurovision that put forward a novelty song full of rubbish in jokes that could only be understood by the few million people in our own country, sung by a rubber puppet in a thick urban brogue only understood by half of our own country, and the only sorta joke in the whole song was a weak sub-pantomine-in-the-tivoli-effort about the once-irish presenter of the eurovision on the bbc. It takes some superhuman effort to embarrass yourself in a competition that's regularly won by israeli transexuals and finnish factory workers in full lord of the rings orc regalia. I wouldn't be surprised if we are excommunicated from Europe tomorrow. I wouldn't mind if Dustin was funny, but to me he was always some ugly looking rubbery Dublin thing shat out of Zig and Zag with about as much wit as the blaring blazing diarrhea that comes on 98fm and fm 104 to torture me on the commute each morning.

wow...

 

[Jrad (BFB.ie)]

wow...

Shit just got real, huh?

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Joe Duffy is probably already up doing breathing exercises and stretching ahead of this afternoons explosive liveline.

I guess Dustin's thing was supposed to be irreverant towards the EV, but the yolk was so pathetically parochial and badly executed that the joke was on us all along.

Who cares anyway?

For the 'whadafuck!' factor...I'd give it to Azerbaijan.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

For the 'whadafuck!' factor...I'd give it to Azerbaijan.

I gave my 60c to them.
I really thought Slovenia and Estonia would make it though.

"Irish turkey told - get stuffed!"

i think that what ireland failed to realise is that for almost all other european countries, cheese is the order of the day with their music... have you actually listened to the radio in germany?... it's all super-cheesey europop and excruciating power ballads (i.e. the eurovision)...

...ireland just stepped over the line by taking the piss in a completely unsubtle way... the booing from the crowd should have told us something...

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Dustin has all of my goodwill for the fact that he is taking every oppurtunity to refer to Linda Martin as "He", "Him" or "A lovely man".

Biggest laugh of the night for me.
I loved that.

Everyone stop making up names for countries.

He does this every night. Believe me. I used to sleep with him.

I think what you fail to realise is that "ireland" doesn't give a flying fuck about the eurovision, but it likes Dustin

I blame Animal Collective.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I predict Frank MacNamara will be leading the 'i told you so' posse on Liveline this afternoon.

I can't wait.

 

[Vinnie]

I will never be able to completely ignore the Eurovision in the same way again. This is a dark day. This is what it sounds like when turkeys cry.

 

[billygannon]

Joe Dolan supported by a broom - it would be like a cabaret El Cid.
I can't see how we could lose if we did this.

 

[Maria]

I'm voting No on the treaty now for that.

Fuck them.

Haha!

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Haha!

I want this added to my rep total!!!!

Pete!!!
