The Eurovision Song Contest is right around the corner. hecklerspray and Betfair.com continue to profile the countries and acts for your special betting needs.
Of all the European countries, Italy is the most rubbish when it comes to Eurovision. They’ve only had one entry since 1993. The reason behind this is a mystery. Maybe because they’re just too damn cool. Or maybe it’s because they’re no-good party-pooping spoilsports who couldn’t write a decent song if they had a gun to their heads. You choose.
Today we’re looking at Serbia & Montenegro and Slovenia…
Serbia & Montenegro (pop. 10,829,175; two former Yugoslav republics united since 2003 in a loose confederation)
Serbia & Montenegro are betting for Eurovision glory with No Name,
which was also a rubbish genre of music invented by the NME for five
minutes in 2001. They’re six young boys that like brunettes. Their song
is Zauvijek Moja (I Will Reach Out For You), a typical love song that rhymes "fire" with "pyre", cleverly subverting the traditional Eurovision "fire/desire" rhyme. Current odds – 64/1
Slovenia (pop. 2,011,070; a coastal sub-alpine country in southern central Europe)
Representing Slovenia for Eurovision glory will be Omar Kareem, a punk-rock dental technician. His song is Stop, more of sign never to go out for a drink with Omar than a song "Tie my hands so I can drown, I bleed to death in your lap". No thanks Omar, you crazy bastard. Current odds – 229/1

hey u fuck
when you mention someone and if you just must totaly shit on their heads then please spell their names correctly
Omar Kareem my arse
Totally is totally spelt with two t’s, Verter.
And we weren’t shitting on Omar, not by a stretch. So how do you spell his name then?
We took the spelling of his name from the official Eurovision site, so why not have a word with them too?
Omar’s Eurovision page:

Besides the translation of the few lines of the poem is incorrect!! What a bunch of idiots!
italy is out because we have some taste and Eurovision is only for crowds of scandinavians and british that have the excuse to drink all in their house without catch the wife’s eyes
I can really just laugh
If meeting you, I would laugh and laugh
