Simon Cowell Is Upset At Metal Facebook Meanies

Oh look, you’ve only gone and gotten the X Factor creator all pissed off over the campaign to get Rage Against The Machine this year’s Christmas number one.

Simon Cowell has branded the campaign to get Rage Against The Machine to the Christmas number one slot above his X Factor contestants as ‘stupid’ and ‘cynical’. We’d like to in turn brand him as ‘smug’ and ‘cunty’.

“If there’s a campaign, and I think the campaign’s aimed directly at me, it’s stupid,” said Cowell at a press conference in London today.

“I think it’s quite a cynical campaign geared at me which is actually going to spoil the party for these three (contestant),” continues Cowell. “I also think it’s incredibly dismissive of the people who watch and enjoy the show… to treat our audiences as if they’re stupid and I don’t like that.”

Metal Hammer would never describe millions and millions of people that phone to elect a competition winner that they’ll then forget about within 2/3 years as stupid. Jedward completely backs up your argument there, Simon.
