# He won't be quite so rich when he's forced to go out & buy 60,000 of his own CD's.
Suffer, you slag!
Haha.

This is great, by the way.

# I like your pic
but this 'campaign' seems to me to equate to: don't buy product A, buy product B.

# Well we won't succeed in getting people not to buy product A, so the only other way to take the smile off his smug
cake-hole is to buy product B.

# Are you saying people are doing this primarily to piss off Simon Cowell?
I don't think that's going to be very effective. I suspect he rather likes publicity. Just a guess.

# X factor is music for people who aren't really that bothered about music.
There's always been a huge market for those people and there always will be. In the past it was served by the record companies, now it's served by X factor and the like. When that's gone, there'll be some other conduit.

He'll make money from it either way.

# Well I think it's statements like "You will have a Christmas number 1 garanteed" that pisses people off
All that power has gone to his flat head.
(TheRiddler Hmmmmm... I concur., Fri 18 Dec 2009, 13:38, archived)
# That 'power' is enforced by this campaign.
It affirms and institutionalizes it.
Honestly, I don't reckon he gives a flying fuck either way. He's a businessman, and business is booming.

# I suspect
That Cowell probably has a financial interest in RATM's record company and is raking off a fat profit from both sides.
While publicly putting on a Faux Outraged front to those Thick Twunts at the RedTops !

# I'm personally not angry about it, because I don't care at all.
I don't see though how it's any different being a sheep buying product A, or being a sheep buying product B. In both cases there's a huge media campaign to induce you to buy the product. And that's all advertizing is. I doesn't really matter what inducement is used ('moral', financial, etc.), the intention is to make you buy the product.
