The 2017 Eurovision Song Contest took the internet by storm with its over-the-top presentation, bombastic performances, and, well, songs. There was music there, even though it was easy to forget considering the show featured a dancing horse-man on a ladder. Eurovision truly had everything needed for satisfying Saturday afternoon musical entertainment, even a random man bursting through the crowd and mooning the Ukraine and everyone tuning in. Naturally, this has become the most important moment in a show full of noteworthy highlights.
The man, draped in an Australian flag, bared his ass to the world, but (no pun intended) it looks as if this was a false flag (again, no pun intended) operation.
The mooner was a Ukrainian wearing an Australian flag according to @SBSEurovision ! sabotage! #eurovision

Why did this happen? What compelled this man to do this? We may never know, but one thing is for certain, the Ukraine doesn’t play, even if Twitter does. Since the event was already so damn bizarre, the only thing that really can happen in this situation is jokes. Lots of jokes. But first, the bare bum after the break (be warned):
The guy looked happy as he hopped around onstage. Unfortunately, his jiggling buttocks would overshadow the performer who would do her best to focus on the task at hand.
Not the weirdest dance routine we’ve seen this evening. #Eurovision pic.twitter.com/FaLm7vcRaz

That is why Australia belong in #Eurovision. Mooning – Douze points

In 20 years, we will hear a gruesome documentary of what happened to the mooner during his time in Ukrainian prison #Eurovision

This years Eurovision, remembered more for an Australian mooner than the actual winning song (which i've forgotten already) #BBCEurovision
