One sheep like movement of purchasing usurped by a new sheep like movement of purchasing.
I mean really, is buying RATM because someone told/asked you to, any different to X factor
and I downloaded it FFS - I feel dirty :P

bahaha, long live Rage ...they are great spokesmen for some issues but I agree it still seems fishy.

This is good and fun and nice diversion, but isn't money still going to end up going to a similar big-label? No matter whether the people decide to buy on impulse, or the people follow orders from Cowell - the only people who really benefit from this are itunes / online record merchants ... I'd imagine the cut that ratm get (and give to Shelter) is going to be pretty slim. The whole thing depresses me a bit .. like that red campaign by bono - spending to save the world is a con.
bah hambug merry fucking xmas :)

The charity thing is a bonus, the mission is what matters.

You'll probably find this campaign was staged by Sony BMG.
A better protest would be to buy nothing at all and just give the money to charity.

- and its about context mate, the charity issue is an aside, this about musicgjd
- oh riiight mate, riight gotcha maan, it's about music innit. I can't help but think the irony is lost on youraskolnikov

After hearing them in that clip I decided to buy the single, I thought why not and it helps raise money for Shelter who I already support.
I just want to see an internet campaign actually achieve something for once- You'd be better advised to just give all the money to Shelter you dozy prickraskolnikov
- scroogegjd
- what? I already support Shelter, I run for them every year to raise money, this is an extra. what do you do for them?BaskerviIle
- I don't do anything for them. I give money directly to the homeless so they can buy smack.raskolnikov

Projectile, are you familiar with the Big British Castle, the two recent "controversies"?
They won't be anything except a shitstorm of complaints.
Piss funny that they promised not to swear, and did it anyway!

haha i love the way they're so jovial and nonchalant about it even though they know they're in deep shit. they'll lose their jobs even though the station'll make loads from the publicity, just so the station can be seen to have done something about it
