Now to the point,
Every year at Europe are Eurovision song contest.
Every country chooses their own representative to that contest by voting.
Finland hasnt won ever that contest (usually at last place) and it seems this year everybody in Finland got enough.
What happened: people voted hard metal band named "Lordi".
Anybody didnt expect monsters in flames, violent work of art won in Finland.
So we are sending monster to represent us at Eurovision song contest.
Every other country representatives are some botox-injecting blondes or pretty boys singing sunshine, love and happiness or sad lovesongs. Sure those make me laugh or cry but different reason.
For example Lordi's song starts: "The saints are crippled
On this sinners' night. Lost are the lambs with no guiding light"
Few countries has threaten not to show the competition when is Finland turn. And of course religious people are "pretty" angry/nervous everywhere Europe.

ps. Sorry Americans this never-ending Finland posting / shows but we pretty rarely get this much attention there as we had seen.
pps. I love you all! (except G.W Bush)
