misscamAngry Chelsea fans have apparently set up a petition to give Norway zero points in Eurosong this year - as revenge for Norwegian referee in the match against Barcelona not giving them penalty kicks.
One fan said: “They robbed Chelsea of the chance to play in the Champions League final. So let’s rob them of the Eurovision trophy.”
BWHAHAHAHA. Funny things about this: 1) That somehow the whole of Norway were on the side of the referee there 2) That the UK, as one country out of like 40 participating, would be able to rob Norway 3) That the whole of the UK would be on Chelsea's side here and 4) Going by this logic, Spain owes us 12 points and if you hate Chelsea, vote for Norway!
(Of course, this is the Daily Star, so not sure how accurate they're being. I'm amused someone even thought of it either way)
Eurosong always brings the funny. I love it so. First semi is tomorrow, second on Thursday (with Norway in it) and the finale on Saturday. Stay tuned for the silliest Europe can offer.
(If you don't know what Eurosong is, this explains it a little. It's silly, serious business, horrid, amusing and tradition all at once. And probably what we do instead of going to war with each other these days.)
