"Killing in the Name" For Christmas No.1
- Thread starter punkrockerdude
- Start date
Damn straight..it may be a bit pointless because there are more ****'s that care about the outcome of Pop Idol or whatever than there are that will get involved in this but I love the sentiment ,in addition I don't blame Cowell I remember Stock Aitken and Waterman .
more copies of his single sold as a result of the competition, if it have just been a normal he would have sold 300,000 less copies. so it looks like Simon has the last laugh
Oh shush, you.
It was a bit of fun, nothing more. The purpose was more to break the monotony of the xfactor chirstmas streak than giving Cowell a cr*ppy christmas, simply because people could. That's how I see it, at least. I couldn't care less about Cowell and his fifteen yachts, I just wanted to see an amusing number 1.

More importantly, this is possibly the first time a Facebook group has actually accomplished something.
Honestly, you'll be getting "Footballers wages for soldiers" next....

That makes no sense at all. What you seem to be saying is that without the X-factor etc there would only be urban-pop music. What about the likes of the Artic Monkeys? Biffy Clyro? They are all over the charts and have nothing to do with TV Pop contests.
Hell, even cheesy manufactured pop isn't made up entire of X factor contestants.
Your talking nonsense mate.
Such as helping a young girl with a rare heart condition - PBN's "Paintballers for Peyton" Campaign? I believe it was around $30,000 dollars raised in 7 days?
Socially influenced media is finally beginning to show it's worth, but the very nature of today's seemingly more fractured society (at least IRL) means that getting people to do something noble and "worthwhile" is about appealing to them on a more personal level than ever before.
It is still possible to gather public support/outrage for issues, but when it comes to putting your hand in your pocket, nowadays the "what's in it for me" factor is much higher as large Charities have been bombarding us with increasingly sophisticated techniques to wring those last few pennies from our pockets (if you ever saw the level of detail and cross-referencing contained in reports that Oxfam use to determine how sectors of their campaigns are going, you'd be staggered).
Out of curiosity - what sort of causes did you have in mind?
