Danmarks Radio (DR) wants help to decide where to place the Danish Melodi Grand Prix 2013 contest. The published poll contains an option to select the Eurovision Arena in Malmö as well. This is today's standing (click on the picture to vote). :D:D

Still think this is an idiotic choice and actually nothing will change my mind. I'm embarrassed by the stupidity of SVT.

You said that you're definitely not gonna change your flag back, but for some reason you did... maybe you silently support Malmo xrofl3

I didn't change, some mod changed it for some odd reason. I still wonder why I got the Swedish flag back.

Had the same problem when I became Moldovan after UK picked Humperdinck. There's a board rule against displaying a flag other than your own.

I see, I actually didn't know about this rule. What a pity.

You guys know what happened in Malmö a few days ago? Two guys kicked a little lamb to death. Only in Malmö, only in Malmö.

Didn't know, but Malmö is a disgrace. SVT choose it as a political statement to show how "multi-kulti (read islamic culture) and happy Sweden is"... eew.. ask the people moving OUT from that mess of a city how happy they are (I mean if they were happy why moving out then?) and why no one want their kids to go to public schools in Malmö any longer.

I hate when people sit in their fancy Stockholm city apartments or rich Stockholm suburb villa and point fingers, it's absolutely vile.

Oh well, it is Malmö and the only thing we can hope now it won't be one big political message fest...

I don't think Malmo will be as bad as people think. There could have been more seating, sure, but the amount of seating will be about average compared to arenas for the last 10 years. Smaller cities have hosted the contest just fine, too :)

Malmö is probably the smallest city hosting this for years...

I hate it because it is an irrational choice made to make a political point, and not a rational choice made to make economical profit and to make good promo for Sweden.

But I have to applaud SVT though for so strongly believe in their own deluded bubble and that Europe would somehow care about what they are trying to say :lol: They're truly obsessed there in Stockholm...

Are people against Malmö only because it's small? Or are there other reasons?

Some people don't like the city considering it not safe.

Others are upset about the possible financial impact of it's close proximity to the Danish border, therefore a lot of tourists will end up staying in Copenhagen

Also, a lot of people (including myself) are unhappy about the small venue which will make it very difficult to get tickets.
