Simon Cowell versus Rage against the Machine

You know what?

People watch X-Factor in their millions because they like it.

People buy Simon Cowell’s records in their millions because they like them.

How many people bought Rage against the Machine’s records? Noone did because no fucker liked it.

The charts are a very simple system - people buy stuff, then every week, record sales are placed in descending order. Very hard to game because it’s a simple list of transactions, grouped by quantity.

Stop whining about “people being idiots” - humans aren’t idiots; they are busy, disorganised, in a hurry, not thinking straight, distracted but not idiots.

You’re just sore because most people like something you don’t and you’re in a fucking minority. So put the Facebook group down and do something more interesting, you whiny bastard.
