That sounds like an April Fool's joke but it was published on April 5???

They could repeat the interval act from 2013 but show how immigration has changed things in Sweden. For example, during the gay wedding, an angry Muslim mob could start beating up the grooms and throw stones at them... :twisted:

You cannot say that it is a surprise, everything has pointed in this direction. And I have nothing against it, it would be insane not having this kind of theme in some point, since this is for sure a huge part of the modern history of Europe. And having a dance number I think works very well, it is subtile and enough, but still effectful.

You can't be serious, lad.

The situation with "refugees" (or rather illegal clandestines) we know in Europe is totally abnormal and I don't get why those people get all the attention and all cares. They already unbalanced the ratio between men and women in Sweden (the number of single men has incredibly gone up). Also, Arabic language is going to surpass the Finnish language in Sweden as the 2nd most spoken language in the country : https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=83&artikel=6404347

And tbh I'm sick to hear about "refugees" everywhere and every time. But, the ESC being held this year in Sweden, the leftist and well-thinking country of Europe, you're right, we could really expect that from them but it makes me hate Sweden a bit more than before.

It sort of makes sense that they're doing this since it's a problem affecting the entirety of Europe. But mixing politics and Eurovision clearly gets us nowhere (like the boos towards Russia).

god, that comments section is giving me a migraine.

Why you should never scroll past the title on a daily mail article.

I am not discussing my standpoint in this on this forum (first, it is more complicated than people would think and mostly that the discussion belongs in the politics section, one part of the forum I stay out of as much as possible, since it is already too much drama there), but whatever one think of this, it is something that has and will change europe forever. We don't even know how it will end, since it is still continuing. Not even mentioning, when it is a part of society both in countries that take in a lot of people and countries that doesn't take in as much, is actually weird and stupid. I think it will not be so much more than this dance-act, so if anyone doesn't like it, then you can always switch channel or don't vote for Sweden or whatever, I don't care actually. We even have entries that more or less, openly or maybe more in disguise take on this matter, so why not have a few minutes more, it is like nothing in a show lasting 2-3 hours.

I haven't even looked the DM comments section but I can guess pretty much everything it will contain.

I hope those that keep saying that Eurovision isn't political finally notice how wrong they are.

Maybe Merkel could be a surprise guest star. She could pop out of a box and fly on stage similar to Conchita. SVT could borrow the throne of the Swedish queen and place it on stage. While Merkel sits on the throne, a few refugees dance around her and then kneel down and kiss her feet. Then Merkel gets up and announces that everyone in the world is invited to come together in Europe while the stage is showered in sparks and confetti.

(I just hope they won't use real refugees, since this would threaten the security of the event.)

I just know what people came here. I don't need a comments section for that.

I'll probably turn it over when it comes on, just hope the "refugee crisis interval" doesn't go on for too long.

Europe deserves its devastation, european culture should fail because of its leaders. We will live in different world within 30 years. Thanks to Merkel our children has no future. I am very sad that Sweden is still on PC train while lots of people say: It is time to get off the train.

Was Björkman looking for the easiest way to piss off half the audience in less than five minutes?
This pro-refugee propaganda should be booed by the audience.

I hope 85% of refugee dancers will be 20 years old guys with 6S iphones and NIKE shoes. But this is just hope because we all know that an average refugee is a poor female with 3 children. We will see crying children attacked by macedonian and hungarian policemen. For perfect impact tear gas should be used on the stage so everybody will cry for them. What a performance! In the end a selfie will be made by Merkel and refugees.

Will there be a group of migrants covering the old Abba classics "Gimme, gimme, gimme" and "Money, money, money"?
