>The EBU had originally planned to have a pre-recorded performance of the Russian entry ready to substitute during the live broadcast in case the duo performed a lesbian publicity stunt on stage, which they deemed inappropriate for a family entertainment show.
They were pretty good at their subversion. Of course I was for gay rights because muh dick when two girls touch lips. Burned into your brain forever with pop tunes.
this, altho it was obvious it's just performance, lots of teenagers blindly believed it. even know a girl who turned all "lesbian" after it. she got converted by a chad cock a few yrs later. I still remember watching TRL (lol) in like..2002 and they couldnt put together a single english sentance.
