Either Killing in name gets number one, or i just go out killing.
Those people on the Joe fan site forums with Joe avatars and signatures make me laugh.
[QUOTE=Dumba$$;19033795]Either Killing in name gets number one, or i just go out killing.[/QUOTE] Or both! Everybody wins :v: I might just have to buy this to know I did my 30p worth of ego damage to Cowell.
[quote=Wikipedia]A number of online stores (including Amazon MP3) sell the single for less than £0.40. The UK Single Charts rules state that only singles sold for more than £0.40 are eligible for inclusion in the chart.[30].[/quote] Well shit. Does this mean my 29p went towards nothing?
[QUOTE=BrokenSanity;19034911]Well shit. Does this mean my 29p went towards nothing?[/QUOTE] No. Amazon buys it at more than 40p and sells at a loss. It was confirmed many many times by the amazon people after a lot of emails.
[QUOTE=BaconDioxide;19034942]No. Amazon buys it at more than 40p and sells at a loss. It was confirmed many times by the amazon people.[/QUOTE] Well, that's alright for me then, but isn't that a tad stupid on Amazons part?
[QUOTE=BrokenSanity;19034993]Well, that's alright for me then, but isn't that a tad stupid on Amazons part?[/QUOTE] It's to drum up sales or something. It does sound a bit ridiculous, but I'm sure it's been confirmed, check out the Facebook group, it says something about Amazon and 29p downloads. Jon Morter knows what he's doing.
[quote=Facebook]AMAZON - yes it will count at 29p, not FREE one htpp://http://bit.ly/rage-amazon [/quote] Good enough for me.
Someone just sung a hilarious song about Simon Cowell being a turd on Radio 4. Everyone was too busy watching the brilliant Sky News interview though.
[QUOTE=Turnips5;19032496]The funny thing is, irony is everywhere on this campaign. The ultimate irony is that irony doesn't seem to matter here. Irony doesn't even look like a word anymore.[/QUOTE] Ironic isn't it?
Personally I won't buy ratm as I have 3 differen versions loaded on my mp3 player but I urge everyone else to because I fucking loathe Simon fucking Cowell and I want piss in the faces of all the competitors and fans of xfactor. There are many things that are reducing this fine nations average i.q. and although this mass produced bollocks isn't top of the list it's pretty fucking high. Fuck you Simon Cowell.

Fuck you Simon Cowell.[/QUOTE] If you're so supportive of this campaign, buy just one more on Amazon. It's 29p, anyone with an internet connection can afford that. It's really the only way we're going to win.
So it ends tomorrow midnight right?
[QUOTE=Diaklu;19035767]So it ends tomorrow midnight right?[/QUOTE] Yeah. We're still in the lead, unbelievably. There's a real chance this could happen.

I saw them at Reading in '98 or '99 (I was pretty ripped and forty the year), they were the reason I stood is the baking heat all weekend, I've supported rage since the start. I want the xfactor fuckwits to suffer as much as the next sensible guy/girl but not for the "win" but for he propogation of good musc and I just feel the campaign won't achieve that. I wish everyone luck with it though and I so have my fingers crossed for you.

There's also another place to give to charity on the facebook page.
[QUOTE=arn0ld;19032721]We have that. It's called pop-culture. The "corporate shitheads" are laughing about the whole thing because Sony owns the rights to BOTH songs.[/QUOTE] As stated in that Guardian blog post, the point is if RATM win it devalues the X-factor brand And it's more about democracy than anything
I was personally hoping for something edgy like Cannibal Corpse or Burzum. Burzum for Christmas no.1 '10?
[QUOTE=jcallan;19036500]I was personally hoping for something edgy like Cannibal Corpse or Burzum. Burzum for Christmas no.1 '10?[/QUOTE] Everyone buy 'Necropedophile' for next christmas.

[QUOTE=jcallan;19013775]Let's sing songs about the evils of consumerism! (Buy our albums)[/QUOTE] Have you even listened to the song
[QUOTE=BaconDioxide;19036623]Everyone buy 'Necropedophile' for next christmas.[/QUOTE] Let's see them play that shit on the radio. [editline]08:33PM[/editline] [QUOTE=lazyguy;19036824]Have you even listened to the song[/QUOTE] Obviously. The whole band has become somewhat of a joke with this. For a band that constantly opposes consumerism, buying their single seems kinda...odd.
