Norway Wins Eurovision

Norway’s entry, the Belarus-born Alexander Rybak, aka “the singing eybrows”, has won the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. Insanely cheesy, but very typically Eurovision.

UPDATE: After earlier (apparently erroneous) reports that Rybak had refused to pose for a photo with gay fans, Norway’s winner had this to say at the post-ceremony press conference: “Why did they (the Moscow police) spend all their energy stopping gays in Moscow when the biggest gay parade was here tonight?”
