Yeah it's car crash TV but Ireland was looking to regain some of the past fame it had in the competition and actually had a few credible songs from credible songwriters on offer this year. Instead we vote for these two absoloute helmets who have no right to be anywhere near even the most riddiculous of song contests.
At the risk of sounding pretentious even at their age I would be smart enough to say 'no thank you' to whatever agent my mum and Louis Walsh hired to rope me into the Eurovision. I would say 'no thank you, but I'm really no fit for this'. Jedward clearly have no qualms about 'avin der bit of fun' and dicking around to the delight of nobody over the age of twelve.
It's creepy and I hope someone runs into them with an automobile of any kind. My problem I guess is not with them decrediting a creditless competition ... more the douches who actually paid money to pick up a telephone and ensure their success.

Also, that bloke Don Mescal that was in the running last night played all the time in a pub we used to frequent back in Portugal when we used to holiday there.
Far out.

Firstly, which is is, Stu? We do or we don't?
Secondly, Ireland won the Eurovision in 92, 93 and 94. From mid-Summer 94 on the running joke in every pub and around every kitchen table was where we could find a bad enough song so we wouldn't win it again. Father Ted was made between 1995 and 1998. Prophetic? Emm. No.
