Welcome to Dorley Dungeon

With population increase and caloric increase there probably is a point on a graph where that happened.

The Onion still does high quality satire.

Yeah it’s pretty hilarious. I agree with your assessment. They’ve lost the wet liberals/moderates. Otherwise I’d be worried about some awful teal reinvention or a color like IDK purple moderates?

Vaxxed?

The 12 points from Yugoslavia goes to…Libya!

Lebanon was set to compete in 2005 but withdrew because of the backlash of competing alongside Israel.

Tunisa and Morroco can compete outright but don’t. Jordan, Egypt, Libya and Algeria could compete without requiring invitation if they joined the EBU.

Technically Iran could compete as they are an affiliate but Eurovision would never invite them (and Iran would never accept competing with Israel)

It’s a peninsula of peninsulas.

Or Australia.

It’s not like it’s a binding international organization like NATO or the EU. It’s a private business with Network members and affiliates thing. Technically had Libya joined the EBU they would have had to let them compete (missed funny timeline with Gaddafi picking the group). China could have competed but it was unlikely.

I mean last yeah they had a contestant whose stage name was “Jerry Heil” who wore a Stephan Bandera shirt in promotions, I think many Europeans are getting tired of them being openly Nazis (instead of quietly Nazis like the rest of them).

To be fair most Europeans are still pretty antisemitic as well as racist.

There’s reasons why no one went to Israel when they hosted Eurovision, and solidarity with Palestine wasn’t it for most of them.

Yeah one of the favourites last year Joost from the Netherlands said that and an Israeli journalist who was harassing him falsely accused him of physical assault. Getting him kicked out of the finale even though all charges were eventually dropped.

Their government pays for phone credit to Israelis in different countries to vote unlimited times. They usually get a midling jury vote then a huge number of phone votes.

Estonia had a fun song

When Israel hosted Eurovision it was a massive failure they had like 10% the guests of European ones.

They should be removed in the way Russia was but cowards etc.

Huh I genuinely thought it was an anti-abortion thing (IVF and abortion are obs-gynae and some doctors do both).

Lots of fertility clinics do abortions and many abortion clinics do assisted pregnancy. They’re basically two sides of the same coin science wise.

Obviously this map is inaccurate because Central and South America, Asia etc should be pits too.
