Eurovision: Timberlake takes over; Twitter loses its mind
The world was united in snark Saturday, collectively going to town on this year's Eurotrash Eurovision Song Contest entrants.

Crimea is still a major sore spot between the two countries following Russia's 2014 reannexation, which once again pushed the Tartars out of their own region.
