    Would you have known the pegant was happening if the bullying thing didn’t happen? Would you have even known about the Europe song contest if Ukraine didn’t win? Would you have known about it this year if it wasn’t for Israel being involved? Would you have ever talked about the Oscar’s if Will Smith didn’t slap somebody?

      Your post is silly.

      I might have found out about this specific pageant from this story, but I know beauty pageants exist. I also knew about ALL the other stuff before the things you claim made them famous.

      I’ve known about the Eurovision contest for decades. I first heard about it on the 70s, when ABBA won it. And I knew about the Oscars long before Chris Rock got slapped.

      Just because you’re ignorant, doesn’t mean everyone else is.

        Yeah, they were famous back then for their own thing, I’m just amazed at how easily people are “bullied” into caring about something like a beauty pegeant.

        Give them a break, it’s not easy typing when you’re wrapped in bandages and have had your brains removed through your nose.
