rage against the x-factor - Outcome: RATM is the Christmas Number One!

Just kill the brain-dead, unwashed masses that watch (and then buy) this mass produced pap. Simples.

I just like the irony of someone else telling people what to buy considering the lyrics in the RATM song; pointed out in the article from the OP too.

Joined. I cant stand X-Factor; the American style editing is enough to make me hate it alone.

Unfortunately though, it won't "work" unless everyone buys the same track

Raumarik · 4 Dec 2009 at 19:15

I'll buy it but I won't join Facebook, it's as bad as X-factor but on the net!

Edrof · 4 Dec 2009 at 19:23

Who the Hell buys the X-Factir crap anyway? It's a bit like Katie Price's best selling novels, who actually buys that trash?

I did this last year when we got Jeff Buckley to number 2, even though I already owned the single.

Well up for doing this, even though I already own this too.

Sadly enough, too many people.

So what he's saying is:

Don't be a sheep and buy the X-Factor single
Be a sheep and all buy this other one instead!

Awesome. I'm all for RatM pulling a surprise number one, but the irony behind this is just silly.

That group is growing crazy-fast. I was one of the people that joined the group but didn't buy anything. Will probably do the same again, but i'll spread the word anyway.

Azza · 4 Dec 2009 at 19:39

I'll gladly buy it (again).

Might by Jedwards single if they have one out though....

Sometimes a revolution needs a bit of organisation, you know?

We could all buy whatever we wanted, as we would be anyway, but it takes a united front to make the point.

SiriusB · 4 Dec 2009 at 21:22

I can't help but feel this is just free advertising for the X-Factor.

iNPUt · 4 Dec 2009 at 21:28

And Ratm, its negative advitising for xfactor right, who would buy that crap if they brought a good song like killing in the name of to jingle their xmas on.

MikeHunt79 · 4 Dec 2009 at 21:28

Any publicity is good publicity. The majority of deadheads who hear about it will more than likely still go out and buy the X-Factor crap, regardless of the type of publicity.

Short of Simon Cowell gettings banged up for touching little boys I doubt any stunts like this will make a blind bit of difference.

well its up about 2-3000 members in the last 20-30mins
