UROVISION

Forget mass-murder,
torture and mayhem in Syria!
Forget the daily strafing of the Gaza Strip!
Forget the razzmatazz of tawdry royal jubilee
and sickening pseudo-olympics in Tycoon City!
The greatest event of the year (though
not for Armenians) will be the Buranovskiye Babushki
from the Udmurt 'Republic' of the Russian 'Federation'
(whose language is on UNESCO's 'endangered' list),
doing their fake-folksy can-can
at the Eurovision Song Contest
in the oil-rich dictatorship of Azerbaijan.
