I want to shower you with sugar lumps and take you to the horse dentist

Tom Lehrer famously announced, when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, that he was "giving up satire due to unfair competition from reality."

I wonder if Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews feel much the same way today, after Ireland's Eurovision entry for this year, 'sung' by Dustin the Turkey.

I rather suspect that Ireland would have more chance with:

"My lovely horse,
you're a pony no more.
Running around with a man on your back,
Like a train in the night,
Like a train in the night."

Indeed. I would suggest that they are deliberately trying to lose, except that's also a Father Ted plot line...
