[q]Lebanon has withdrawn from this year's Eurovision Song Contest, after refusing to show the Israeli entry on Lebanese TV channel Tele-liban.[/q]

Um...not that I could give a flying **** about eurovision - but why won't they show the Israeli entry?  Do they simply refuse to recognise the existence of the country or something? (which is really ****ing petty.... it's only a talent show FFS).

And why are Lebanon and Israel in eurovision anyways?  It's no wonder people are worried about terrorism if we're showing this tripe across the rest of the world.........

I thought the title said 'Lesbian withdraws from Eurovision'...

I thought that'd be an entry requirement.........

Can't say I've ever heard of Eurovision, but that is idiotic.

It's a really tacky pan-european song contest, where each nation has a contestant representing them.

It's ****e, really.

and eurovision kind of sucks. it's from ukraina this year. go figure. first they give us chernobyl, and now this... and yeah, it seems like swedish television will produce it again, just like last year when it was in turkey
