Now I know quite a lot of you are going to be tarred with this brush, but fuck it. You need telling.
IF YOU BUY ‘KILLING IN THE NAME OF’ WITH A VIEW TO STOP SIMON COWELL FROM GETTING A CHRISTMAS #1 THEN YOU’RE A TOOL FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS
- Why be pissed at Simon Cowell for being a rich smug cunt, yet gift an extra (Cowell’s bands and Rage being on the same label and all) couple of million to Sony records, who are a major part of the music industry being fucked anyway?
- You’re not taking any money away from the swarthy impressario bastard – if anything, MORE ten year olds are going to buy his shite to try stopping you, making SC MORE MONEY.
- You’re also giving money to Steve Jobs, and bearing in mind that an iPhone costs $200 to make and is sold in the US at $599, and in the UK at £599 (contract free), the smug turtle-necked bastard has enough money from social trending morons.
- I’m pretty certain, that despite all the talks of “neck and neck” sales, there are more stupid 14 year old girls than there are people who sort of pretend to have a sense of humour and just do what their friends and alt-media tell them to.
- It’s totally different to get bought up into the Rage against the machine hype bullshit, as opposed to the X-Factor hype bullshit. I mean… It’s COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!.
- Lastly, and most galling to me – Do you people buying ‘Killing In The Name Of’ even give a crap about music charts? No, chances are, you don’t. You’re trying to stick it to a repellant little man (which I understand), but it’s a battle you’ve lost, he already has the whole thing sewn up, and has done for years. Music charts = dead to real music. Let him have it, your actions are undignified.
This doesn’t include all the hate I have for legal MP3 downloads and Rage themselves, but those’re a whole different set of issues.
FFS, people…
