At Eurovision

On the night of the final Brixx performed 13th in the running order, following Spain and preceding Yugoslavia. Denmark was one of very few countries to provide a contemporary-sounding entry in a contest dominated by 1970s-style Eurovision songs, but this proved not to be what the juries were looking for in that year. At the close of voting "Video, Video" had received only 5 points (3 from Portugal and 1 each from Ireland and Sweden), placing Denmark 17th of the 18 entries, ahead only of the nul-points entry from Finland. The Danish jury awarded its 12 points to contest winners Germany.[2]

gollark: Quite a lot of browser APIs are weirdly inconsistent, because they only came up with the whole "asynchronous" thing after a lot had already been done, and then a while after that the idea of promises, but they're still sticking with events a lot for some reason.
gollark: JS is what you get if you put 100 language designers in a room, remove the language designers and add a bunch of monkeys with typewriters and DVORAK keyboards, and then bring the actual language designers back but force them to stick with what the monkeys wrote and only make small changes and tack on extra features after the fact, and also the language designers don't agree with each other most of the time.
