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

The Daily Fail article is terrible, even quotes Tom Morello when it was Zack's quotes - i mean how retarded can you get, ones black with an afro and ones white with a bald head.... although maybe the baseball cap might of thrown the reporter.

They don't even mention the charity on Rage's side.

Just listened to the Radio 5 Live broadcast... that's class.

Anyone got a link to the faces video? Not had a proper watch of that yet and the link in this thread is defunct.

This is brilliant - we've wound up Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, The Daily Mail, The Mirror, The X Factor watching plebs...

I wonder who else we can get in the next few days.

To be honest, maybe not getting a number 1 would do Joe good. I mean, it may make him lose any sense of entitlement and actually work at having a career...

huh, well im Scottish but dont have a Scottish surname although i will say that after following them since they came out i always thought he was Mexican and African descent.... a quick Wiki has shown me he is of Mexican/German/Irish descent! i do apologise, and im quite amazed i held that assumption for almost 20 years!

Well, ive loved that song for ages so eventually gave up and bought it. Nice to see itunes is DRM free now, not used it in ages.

Zack's hardly "black", and Tom's hardly "White", they're clearly both mixed race and neither "black" or "white".

Apologies if this is a pearoast and apologies linking you to the Daily Fail (oh noes, zomg, etc) but you have to laugh at the way they word their propaganda:

Daily Fail RATM

Also, the second comment from the top. That guy whipped out the pwn tbh!

Hardly the first time Zane lowe has said, go out and buy a cd either is it. The desperation for this kid to get to no1 might even have me buy RATM.

"Its taking the fun out of xmas no1"

Really Louis Walsh, not the way X factor has been made to end right in time for xmas thats taken the fun out of it. No matter how **** the winner it's been a guarenteed xmas no1.

Sadly X-factor will probably still be number 1 but at least it wound up Simon Cowell and the Mail. It does depress me though the somewhat elitist attitude some of the RATM supporters are showing, calling X-factor fans sheep etc when they are only buying the single because they have been told to.

That's not the annoyance though, its more that the 'real music' fans don't usually buy music.

Oh well, at least this campaign is fixing that in a minor way.

I watch X Factor sometimes but the type of music played on there does grate after a while. Simon Cowell's taste leaves a lot to be desired as well.

Just bought the Rage song. Hope they make it on Sunday

And quite a few are going to have to come up with a new excuse why they don't buy now they have found that lots of music tracks these days are DRM free.

Personally can't stand the show or the music, but lots do and many won't like my choice in music so who am I to complain?
