i'm thinking that half the joke is seeing it from outside of europe.
we, here in the new world, tend to have really awful things get passed on as music and music events, in really bad taste and really half-assed. seeing eurovision, we understand that it's not a thing of a third world way of thinking or colonialism or any of that crap, that bad things tend to get followed by the masses and be taken seriously regardless of how ridiculous it really is.
it also makes us feel that we are not alone, whether it's eurovision, american idol or whatever; poor taste is golden.
