    Thumbs down Eurovision: Georgia's song kicked out...

    BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Eurovision axes 'anti-Putin' song

    The ECB has ruled that Georgia's eurovision song "We don't wanna put in" violates the rules concerning political content.

    The ECB has offered Georgia the opportunity to submit a different song or change the lyrics, but the Georgians have (quite rightly in my opinion) told the ECB to go f*** themselves.

    They shouldn't be allowed in by virtue of not being European! Still, put in/Putin clever stuff, and some people thought "waterloo" was too political!

    The condition for entry is that the country must fall within the ECB broadcasting zone. The zone itself actually includes areas of North Africa and the Levant - which is why Israel is allowed to compete dispite not falling 'geographically' within the continent.

    Thanks for that, I'm glad to know it as it never made sense Isarael was a part! So, with these new fangled satellite thingies should we re-name it the worldvision song contest?

    No. Aparently it's against the rules to submit an entry with overtly political lyrics.
