Hard Rock Hallelujah

It's been quite a weekend here in Helsinki.
We lost the ice hockey the the Czech Republic and it's been raining all weekend, but... and I still can't quite believe it...
WE WON EUROVISION SONG CONTEST!
For those of you who don't understand the significance of this win, in the history of Eurovision Finland is best known for consistantly finishing last or close to. Normally we are happy if we get 20 points but last night history was made.
Finland scored 292 points... and our entry were monsters. We entered a death metal (very pop sounding death metal) band called Lordi that dress up like monsters and sing about angels and demons. Weird.
I am a little concerned at how this will effect our global image, particularly as Finland is seen already as somewhat of an unusual country. I guess though there's no such thing as bad publicity?

But the thing that really annoys me is that now Lordi have ruined my master plan at winning Eurovision and becoming a national heroine. Those who know me will remember my promise to enter and win the Eurovision song contest. But now a bunch of satanic monsters have beat me to it!
Well, at least it has shocked me out of my complacently and next year, I will win. God knows what kind of gimick I'll need though...

Hyvää Suomi!
