The tiny Eastern European republic of Molvania was disqualified from the Eurovision Song Contest this year.
Zladko “Zlad” Vladcik was to perform his very popular techno-ballad, “Elektronik – Supersonik” – described as “a melodic fusion combining hot disco rhythms with cold war rhetoric”.
However, the 23-year-old singer was arrested at Istanbul’s Ataturk International Airport and immediately deported. While Eurovision does not normally test for recreational drugs, unfortunately for Vladcik, Turkish Customs do.
On his return, “Zlad” apologised to everyone in Molvania for letting them down, especially his family, his friends and his dealer.
