The EuroDiVision Contest - feat. Angela Merkel, Slavoj Žižek & IMF

We've all heard of EuroVision, but there's another song that’s being sung across Europe - the peoples' chants of protest against Europe's austerity measures. Today we'll hear some of the leading and loudest voices in this competition, such as Greece, Spain and Ireland, who are fighting back against austerity with people power; before turning to the contest's three judges: Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, Slovenian philosopher-rockstar Slavoj Žižek and IMF dominatrix err... director, Christine Lagarde.
Join Robert Foster as he examines the Eurozone crisis and the causes behind it: Is it all economics and budgets? or is this an ideological class war aimed at the welfare state? What are the solutions? And what on earth is Australia doing competing in this EuroZone song contest? All these questions and more will be tackled as Juice Rap News dives into this most bizarre of modern European traditions. Welcome to the EURODIVISION CONTEST!
