The Voice Producers Concerned Australia Will Be Next To Riot

How will Australia react when The Voice ends?

As the people of Sweden continue to riot in Stockholm in the wake of the weekend's Eurovision Song Contest, local producers of The Voice are rumoured to be concerned about copycat rioting in Australia when their program draws to a close.

“They are concerned that singing competitions are finally driving people to the edge,” an unnamed source close to the television program's chair maintenance department said today.

All manner of property is being destroyed on the streets of Stockholm at present; some saying it's due to the diminishing middle-class, some say it's religiously motivated, many saying the immigrant population are simply frustrated.

“They say that no one knows the reason the Swedes are rioting; but that's bullshit,” our source said. “You can't tell me it's just a coincidence that they waited til the votes were tallied and the winner announced.”

While SPA Confidential couldn't contact The Voice producers for comment on the rumours (flat battery), pundits were sure the end of this year's program would spell bad news for Australia.

“If [the Swedish people] are sick of a competition as fun and infrequent as Eurovision, there ought to be great concern about how the Australian people will react when they realise they have just wasted a couple of months with the likes of Madden, Goodrem and old mate Livin' La Vida Loca,” online Social Sciences TAFE course co-ordinator Gary Candle said.

“There's something about the high emotions, terrible song choices and the casual racism that seems to surround the program that will prove to be a lethal combination.”

The reaction of the twittersphere, which thrives on reporting live about both Eurovision and The Voice, is another concern. High-volume tweeters trying to assimilate back into normal society following the show's conclusion may become frustrated and lash out.

“I guess I'll go back to tweeting about feminism,” one user DM'd SPA Confidential this afternoon. “Either that or I'll get into Masterchef again.”
