[antonye]

As you might know, there's currently an "internet campaign" to purchase Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name" to stop Simon Cowell's X-Factor yet again being the xmas number one.

Have you bought it? Are you likely to? Any opinions?

Me? I bought it; cost me 99p from iTunes. Why? I'm getting fed up with reality tv ruling the airwaves and X-Factor being guaranteed a No1 record each year. The thing that pi$$ed me off was Simon Cowell commenting that this campaign would "spoil the party" for his own act - as if they must be guaranteed the number one spot each year!
