Nul points?

I didn't watch it, but what, if anything, are we to make of this year's Eurovision Song Contest?  For those others who didn't watch it and have somehow managed to avoid the news programmes, it was won by Austria who were represented by a transvestite man with a beard in drag.  Do we applaud the fact that the result showed the voters of Europe as open-minded and tolerant, or do we see the outcome as simply further evidence that the contest is all about gimmicks and silliness.  Doesn't seem to have much to do with songs and singers!
