Lordi: Not your father’s Finnish Eurovision entry
An article from the Chicago Tribune. With all this pre-Eurovision publicity, we actually have a chance of winning not getting zero points…
First, Finnish religious leaders warned that the Freddy Krueger lookalikes could inspire satanic worship. Then critics called for President Tarja Halonen to use her constitutional powers to veto the band and nominate a traditional Finnish folk singer. Rumors even circulated that Lordi members were agents sent by President Vladimir Putin to destabilize Finland ahead of a Russian coup–an explanation for why they refused to take off their freakish masks in public.
Alex Nieminen, a Finnish ad executive, argues that the band embodies Finnish self-assertion after decades of isolation. “Lordi represents a rebellion by Finns who are saying, `Hey we are not all the Nokia-wielding people the government would like you to think we are,”‘ Nieminen said.
Hat Tip to Arhi for the link!

Yeah, we’re just depressed ugly drunk homicidal maniacs. Hmm, no wonder Lordi got thru…

I find this “country wide controversy” funny. Didin’t hear any controversy until i read from the paper “Finland has been arguing for weeks”

Well, it’s good to see that rampant ignorance isn’t limited to just one side of the pond.

These dogs learned well and early enough that we Finnish males do not exactly look like Latin lovers, ergo the masks.

Dosage: As with all prescription drugs, proper dosage is at the discretion of a licensed medical doctor. The dose of sildenafil is 25 mg to 100 mg taken once per day between 30 minutes and 4 hours prior to sexual intercourse.
It is usually recommended to start with a dosage of 50 mg and then lower or raise the dosage as appropriate. The drug is sold in three dosages (25, 50, and 100 mg), all three costing about US$10 per pill. Name-brand Viagra sildenafil is not scored and a fairly hard coating makes it more difficult to accurately cut the pills in half, even with a pill cutter.
