I WILL RUN NAKED AROUND TOWN IF I WIN

Next up in our series of questions with no right or wrong answers, we take a look at Slovenia where there was high drama last night. Omar was selected to return to Eurovision for Slovenia in the same city where he was in 2005. But Katja who is from Slovenia informed us that someone in the selection called Tim Kores said he would run naked around major town squares in Slovenia should be win. We had one member of Romanian group HOTEL FM promised the same thing during a press conference in Dusseldorf should they win. Do you think any of this will actually happen if they indeed win or is it just a saying to get attention and hope people vote for them?
