You don't need a TV for that.

I thought that was Erovision.

[Tleszer]

It's not Eruvision?

I just typed and then deleted all lot of shite about pictures of Eurotunnel. Send Help.

Oh...
The thunder under the channel
It's the chunder,
Down in the Chunnel!
La la la la la la la!

OK, logic tells me the anesthetic and pain pill are gonna wear out eventually.

And then we will meet the Dragon of wisdom tooth extraction.

MWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oooh, was that a twinge?!

So what's Eurovision?

It's the Eurovision 'Song' Contest, the highlight of the year's fixtures of ceremonies of poor taste and high camp. It's awfulness is legendary in the UK, although some countries seem to take it seriously. If you like tasteless chintz and cheesy drivel, then you'll love Eurovision. Personally I can't stand it, although a friend of mine actually went to Moscow to watch it live this year.

Here's a documentary which gives you a feel for just how bad it is -

The only good thing to come out of it is the legendary ABBA.

Agreed. I try every so often to have a look at it but I just want to every time.

[Omphalos]

Wow. Pop music is powerful!

That French singer singing about the dolls looks like Brittney Spears, and was about as wooden and stiff.

[GamePlayer]

Oh, I heard about that! I was reading some album reviews a few months back and one of the reviews used the Eurovision Song Contest as the benchmark for the worst of insipid pop music. As this was the first mention I'd heard of Eurovision, I diligently performed a search on google and followed numerous links from there. Wow! Eurovision is so thoroughly corrupted by awfulness it actually makes the Junos look like the Grammys and makes the Grammys look...legitimate! Just take a look at the kinds of songs that actually win this contest. I dare you. "I double dare you, motherfucker!" If there is a text book definition for homogenized, bottom-of-the-barrel music, this Eurovision contest has to be THE archetypal example.

[Omphalos]

The performances are pretty awful too. Why do so many of those women sound like men?

[GamePlayer]

The fact that shocked me the most about Eurovision was how long the contest has been running, yet I'd never heard of it prior to reading that album review (I think I was reading at Pitchfork). It kinda saddens me too, because all this time I could have used the term "Eurovision contestants" as a pejorative to describe lousy bands like Nickleback. But then again, no one here would know what the fuck Eurovision was, just like I didn't know, so perhaps were all better off

The only good thing about Eurovision is listening to the commentator take the piss out of it in a "why the hell am I watching this" kind of way. Another good thing is to hear my father try and defend its merits (based on what he watched of it as a kid) despite being confounded by the awfulness of it all.

In a thread started by "STAR FISH" (FishSpeakerLover), ByrByr the Oilyphant demonstrated yet again the keen savvy of these modern Herberts with regard to teh Internetz:

dunenovels.com Forum Index » Fan-Fiction » Uncyclopedia:

Did you see the Kevin article? I won't post a link cuz that'd get me banned.

I can't imagine who wrote that...

Yeah, that's right, it HAD to be the usual suspects, SandChigger and the "Jacurutu Five".

Actually, DUMBASS, you've no need to IMAGINE anything about it. It's a MediaWiki wiki, just like Wikipedia. All you have to do is click the History link for the page and you can see the username of everyone who has ever edited it ... or the IP address of any anonymous users who have done so. And you can check the location of the latter using a WHOIS link.

Freakin' MeORON!

(He always has had a pissy attitude about wikis. Because they can't be controlled like his shitty little board. And for the record, I don't have an account there. So there. Tool.)

[Schu]

Yeah, that one was pretty pathetic. You'd think they'd realise by now that KJA-haters aren't exactly an endangered species, nor limited to any one sci-fi series he fucked up.

[SandChigger]

Oh well. It was due time for him to piss & whine about something.

[Mandy]

Haha... I don't know if this is the wiki you're talking about (I think it's Mike Wong's wiki from stardestroyer.net).

Kevin J. Anderson is an author who fucks up every science fiction universe he touches, from Star Wars to Dune to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

KJA is noted for his tendency to minimize some aspects of a universe. In his novel Darksaber, he claimed that constructing the Executor nearly bankrupted the Empire. This is ludicrous when one stops to consider that the Empire was able to build two Death Stars without bankrupting itself.

[SandChigger]

Executor?

What ... it blows your planet (or solar system or galaxy?!) to fuck and back and then ... what, files the paperwork for handling your estate?

WTF?

Oh, right! Accent on the first syllable! Of course!

GDed MFing LAZY SOB HACK.

Do you have any anger that needs venting, little bunny Chig? Do you need a hug?

Wait a moment. I don't think that's a hug Kevvie and Bri-Bri are giving you.

[SandChigger]

Eeeeew ... they SLIMED me.

[SadisticCynic]

Now that's nasty...

That's a great quote...

Too bad he does not mention that sun-crusher thing KJA did for SW...Now that set the Empire back zillions of dollars and they had to borrow from George Lucas...

[SandChigger]

Now if Muad' Dib didn't exist would that be the path that was chosen? I'm not so deterministic.

I guess when you said the above I took it wrong. Sorry 'bout that. I just don't see a story without Paul. He was the evolution of the breeding program and the crux of the beginning of the story. To me, there's no DUNE without him (from Frank's books, that is).

Anyone get what Hyron ... er, I mean, Byron means with that very last bit?

Weird.

It's almost like the moron thinks there is some Dune besides his grandfather's books....

[Schu]

I think he means that the hack and his buddy would still have written their books if Frank had never written dune. Actually I don't think that's what he meant, but that's what I'm sticking with anyway
