end of the day, there are markets for both, and as musicians we should respect both markets. Simon Cowell knows what he is doing just look at his bank balance. So stop bickering about all this crap and just get on with it, if u like xfactor, but it, if u like RATM buy it. simple

Fuck x factor and fuck mr cod piece!!!!! I’m not a fan of xmas, but why should it always be an x factor winner that gets the xmas number 1. Whatever happened to comedians or cartoon characters gettin it. at least then it was a little bit interesting

”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’.”

If thats not the pot calling the kettle black………

So, trying to get Rage to Christmas no. 1 is a bad thing? Ah well. Let’s be frank, does anyone remember half of the last few contestants from X Factor?

If I remember correctly, a little while ago a National paper ran a slogan about Jedward saying “They can’t sing, they can’t dance, but they deserve to win!” That pretty much spells out what X Factor is really about; providing shit product that’s popular in the eye of the media and the idiots that entertain the show on a weekly basis.

As for targeting Simon Cowell? Again, stupid. This is simply a case of people being thoroughly sick of talentless no-ones, yes that’s right talentless no-one’s, being paraded all over our televisions, newspapers, magazines, radio stations and websites throughout christmas and new year.

That’s my piece, fuck X Factor and may it eventually burn in hell. Now, we just need to find some way to get Jordan, Big Brother, I’m A Celebrity, Britain’s Got Talent and any Bulbous, trailer trash, cosmetically enhanced and utterly useless celebrities out of the media for the good.

Oh, and ruining the party for the three people? Tough, they’re six months away from bankruptcy and eternal ridicule – we’re doing them a favour.

“… to treat our audiences as if they’re stupid and I don’t like that.”

SMUG and CUNTY thats an unforgettable quote. love it.
despite the fact that we all hate said smug and cunty DOUCHEBAG, hes a smart guy, and this is very VERY tactical. every little thing that happens on that show all the “drama” is to get more sheep to watch the show. I also love the line “to treat our audiences as if theyre stupid.. I dont like that” he loves the fact they ARE stupid enough to watch the show, phone in to vote and buy the fuckin record, best marketing ploy ever.

Its unlikely rage will get to number 1 for reasons/observations very wisely listed above by “alan h” and “lawrence” but we need to do buy into their game for this one, because despite the fact we re making sony richer whichever single we buy, we can at least show our defiance of the same smug cunt who does this EVERY year.
