Fuck it. Despite my claiming that I didnn't want to get involved, and my thinking that RATM has nothing to do with Christmas, I've downloaded their song (though like most I have it already). The thing that turned me was hearing Simon Cowells dismissive, arrogant, patronising voice and then hearing a person called 'Joe' sing an absolutely awful, dreary ballad.
It's not about RATM, it's about hating The X-Factor. Tynan is exactly right about the Christmas Number One having become co-opted as an extension of the show.
Fucking bullshit the lot of it.
