Is it me (and I know I’m am being very politically incorrect here) but if foreigners had to judge Maltese by our eurovision singers (Ira Losco apart) they must think we are one hell of a bunch of ugly people!

I enjoy, say, watching a funny drag act with the sole intention of being funny. But when I end up laughing at a performance which is trying to take itself seriously, I get the feeling that some (or maybe, many) people have no sense of how ridiculous they look.
