And this is just the summary version... there is more gossip surrounding the incident.

The kind of crap Mexican people was/still is tortured when watching "public" television... although as a child, I really enjoyed that silly dance (still too innocent to actually notice the coke mishap)

It was kind of a variety show, with some guest singer/band and some type of contest for the audience at the set. Apart from that, the main presenter (the fact one) cracked some jokes, many at the expense of the other guy, who was a popular comedian. The show was broadcastes at 2:30 PM which is the traditional lunch time in Mexico, so you can imagine the concern of the producers and the TV executives when that aired. They guy wasn't fired, but some years later the show was canceled and they both went to work for the competition. It ended badly for them however; the presenter, name's is Francisco "Paco" Stanley was grizzly executed by drug cartel enforcers while having breakfast at a restaurant; rumor says that he was the link between drug dealers and their clients in the network; after some investigations, the Attorney's office decided to process the other guy along with some other members of the show staff, for alleged complicity in the murder; they were later released after spending around 4-5 years in jail... needless to say, the careers of every one of them never recovered.

Remembered me of this incident in Mexican TV about 20 years ago...

Right, forgot to post which sport it was

Well I respect your position, and it has some potential to work, Personally I think it would be like increasing the chances of wining by ignoring half of the people in the contest; when I select the Mexican entry only on my personal "taste", so whether it does well or flops, I come to terms that my "taste" in music is not shared by other users.

Totally unfair for the other countries in that semi, as both entries have alreay secured at least 12 points.

I understand it is not possible to control the televote, but EBU must have imposse some sanctions on Greek and Cypriot juries as they always award 12 points to each other every single contest. It just ridiculous.

Kristian gave Portugal a run, being 2nd in both, being only 17,,, I know, you wanted to win, but still nice position for him

Congratulations Portugal

It deserved better... amazing singers!!

And Blanche can't sing live, so she should be in last place with Spain... I can't understand the juries

Another 12 for the Netherlands

I don't seem to understand how juries are having Sweden's crap ahead of Italy

Wow, Portugal is on fire

What just happened

Allez Alma

Go Kristian and Bulgaria

And now the overproduced AXE tv add

The most overrated song in this edition... at least her voice has gone creaky so far, like in the semi.

Where are those bomb clocks gone?

Lucie Probably a top 10...
