Shock! Horror! Lordi unmask
- Artists:
- Lordi »
Recent Eurovision winners Lordi (pictured right) are currently subject to more public outrage after a Finnish magazine unmasked the lead singer.
Mr Lordi (AKA Tomi Putaansuu) was recently laid bare by the magazine Seiska who were trying to get his real face shown in the press. Fans that probably assumed his monster features were his own, were surprised when they found out he was a regular human being. Many of the fans who are understandably in shock, have signed a petition against Seiska which has so far collected over 200,000 signatures. In addition, many fans have stopped their subscription with the magazine.
The publication have apologised for their actions and have promised not to do it again.

Brings a new twist?
There are people though...
...who think being a spoilsport is fun. I don't see the point - it was like our local paper (Bristol Evening Post) unmasking the graffiti artist Banksy (a well known local artist, better known nationally perhaps for the cover of Blur's "Think Tank"). It smacks of little more than sticking the tongue out and saying "nuuuuuuh".
lol
that is brilliant, 200,0000 signatures? WOAH!
yawn
I won £50 out of this band betting on eurovision. I think thats as useful as they will ever be to me.
They are pretty mad about Lordi
in Finland.
apparently
it's very bad form in finland for the press to intrude on peoples' lives too much, which is why there is such outrage...i think that's very nice.
It makes a difference to this country
and America. Anyone whos anyone has their life spied on here.
Lordi of the dance, said he
It's just like how the magic would be taken away if we knew who was behind Gorillaz.
Gorillaz
Liam Gallagher writes the tunes. Charles Schulz does the drawings.
finland and ireland
have the highest rates of binge drinking in europe. higher than GB, seriously! having said that, i'd still like to go to finland.
Just saw them recreating the cover of the beatles abbey road album on newsround
it was pretty amusing.
Far out
I can't believe people are so into it that they don't want to see their real faces. Whats the use of music behind a mask?
The irony is...
Everyone who cares knows what the bird looks like anyway as she's in another non-masked band who sing in Epseranto. Kooky.
OMG
UNMASKING LORDI!!!!! no thats to far i am a fan of theres and i think that the magazen should pay compansashin or somthing to lordi coz of what they did!! i mean u never seen the press do that to Slipknow(also very good) and i mean i think its unfair!
