Iraq not in the Eurovision Song Contest after all

Congratulations to the many listeners who noticed our spoof story yesterday (April 1st) about Iraq taking part in the Eurovision.

The best spoofs are based in fact:

  • Shada Hassoun is a popular singer from Iraq, however "yold" is not the name of her latest song but in fact the Yiddish word for sucker.
  • Iraq is within the ITU European Broadcasting Area and therefore technically eligible to join the EBU and take part in the Eurovision, although they have done neither to date.

So if not Eurovision Baghdad 2010, then maybe 2011, stranger things have happened, as Lordi knows.
