Eurovision Drama: Fowl Play?

Tuomo writes: Remember how a couple of days ago I brought up the topic of Eurovision drama? This is what I mean with it: the Irish entry for 2008 will be sung by a puppet! Dustin the Turkey, a popular Irish telvision puppet to be more precise, will be perferoming the song Irelande Douze Points, a reference to the maximum amount of points (12, or douze in French) any participating country can give to the song it deems the best (12 to the best, then 10, 8, 7...1).



I mean puh-lease: this is the country that won three years in a row and then one more time for good measure in the 1990s... And now a turkey?! An féidir leat é a chreidiúint?! :-)

BTW the gentleman, the host of the show on RTÉ, we get to see briefly in the beginning of the clip is quite a dish ;-)
