# X factor is music for people who aren't really that bothered about music.

# 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 !
