So, we're all buying a single en masse to get it to number one because someone told us to, because we don't want to buy a single en masse to get it to number one because someone told us to?
As far as I'm concerned they're as bad as each other, in terms of music quality and corporate manipulation, so RatM can fuck right off along with Cowell. How do me know they're not just taking advantage of peoples hatred of X Factor to promote their album, it'd hardly be difficult for an advertiser or even a band member to get a friend to make a short message on their Facebook, after all. And isn't that just as bad as Cowell using the general public's love for X Factor to promote his own stuff?
RatM or X Factor, you're the 'sheep' you hate so much either way.
Edit: In fact, the other day I overheard two kids refer to Cowell as 'the enemy'. Can you really tell me they haven't been brainwashed in exactly the same way RatM supporters are accusing Cowell of doing?
