there is a group going on facebook to try and keep the x-factor winner of xmas number one by buying killing in the name of by against the machine this week.

Is anyone going to buy it, i am not as already have the album just thought it was funny

fuck you I wont do what you tell me!

Hmmn... maybe I don't understand this - but are they asking me to buy a copy of a RATM song as a protest against the commercialisation of the music industry?

thats exactly what I thought

see, I thought this would be exactly the kind of thing RATM would be against, but apparently a tune of theirs is used on guitar hero? so maybe the lure of the $ gets em all in the end.


sleep now in the fire

is there a point in the xmas number 1 these days?

it will always be the x factor winner.

Only a sad act buys singles these days

I think Mr EADs suggestion would be a better option..viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29063

I bought it, it's not a protest against Sony or Cowell, simply people sick of seeing xfactor fixing the xmas number 1 every year. Entirely pointless but fun to be part of if they can do it. The group are doing well to raise money for charity too, nearly £25,000 raised for shelter so far.

Have a look at the info tab for more information on what the group is about and the link to donate to shelter:

I thought it was only me being a pedant but thought Chip's typo was a great addition to the English language........'monopolositaion'........like monopolisation but done by aliens on a space station.
