The Fredösphere

I knew it. Our friend the Albanian space rocker is a hoax.  He's really "Molvanian" and part of wider, very elaborate, hoax to promote a certain book by certain Australian comedians.  Wow.  It's lacuna.com all over again.  And I feel betrayed and violated.

Betrayed and violated in a good way.

My reason for believing it could be real has to do with my expertise in a subject that has not received much notice (yet) in the U S of A. Let me give you the background.  Once upon a time, Europe was the holder of a rich tradition and the US immaturely played copycat.  This situation no longer exists.  Now it is Europe that desperately wishes to be like the US.  You don't believe me?  I can prove it with just three words:

Eurovision. Song. Contest.

Note especially how many songs are sung in English, proving it is the native tongue of pop music. Lookie there! The 1989 winner was a Yugoslavian entry singing "Rock Me, Baby."  Really, the spoof differs only in quantity (a small quantity), not quality, to this guy:

Or this couple:

I rest my case.

UPDATE: I forgot to credit my buddy Victor Volkman for uncovering the spoof. He's the principal investigator of the Fredösphere Office of Opposition Research. Here's his website.
