Lordi Won!

We're a rock band and we just won a pop song contest.

292 points, which is apparently the highest score ever!

Finland's success in Eurovision. As you see, it has not been very grand, has it?

Bloomberg, nice article, I particulary like how they didn't mention satan or satan-worship (which is not the same as satanism)...unlike this one.

“We don’t eat babies for breakfast,” he said. “Think about it.”

EDIT: Just remembered. Nightwish tried to enter in 2000, but the Eurovision Comitee in Finland didnt think it would do well. 18 points.

EDIT2: "..they are never gonna win with this"

EDIT3: "NBC announced plans earlier this year to replicate the formula"

EDIT4: Finland got 292 from semis also (pdf)

EDIT5: Things to be thought:
-After this, Lordi will be invited to the Independence Day party at President's castle - how will the band dress there?
-How many countries will put Rock up next year?
-Apparently UK and France thought genuinely that they would win.
