Sometimes, when folks in this country get their knickers in a twist over Britney Spears or some other cultural atrocity, we sometimes think "it only happens here." Well, it doesn't. Consider the tale of Lordi, who have been selected as the Finnish representative to this year's Eurovision song contest in Athens. What makes Lordi a bit special is that they are a heavy metal band who only appear in public in full horror-movie costumes (think Gwar, but with funnier names). Some Finns are appalled that such a group would represent the country in the contest, while others hope that this time the Finns might actually be competitive.
