Eurovision Withdrawal - Ade GermanTV

The backlog of German krimis I managed to tape during the heyday of GermanTV on Rogers cable continues to nourish us here. But the greatest experience GermanTV offered me - a full broadcast last year of the Eurovision Song Contest - was tragically not available this year (unless I missed it on some other channel).
Reports on the local news are actually mentioning it this year because the winners, the Finnish group Lordi, are SO ridiculous. And of course this is the delight of the event. Anyone who thinks 'European culture' is something especially wonderful should expose himself/herself to at least one bradcast of this event. It is 'American Idol' (which was an import from Europe too) in spades.

UPDATE: This link offered a lot of fun. No-Pasaran are spot on about the arrogance. And, I must confess, that group was pretty good.
