TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

This is vaguely better than Simon Cowell, I must admit.

Barely.

This song is a disgrace for Christmas, apparently. I wonder what kind of people will be signing this one - http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/getrageoffnumber1spot/

Daily Mail readers.

I'm starting to warm to it, if it is going to annoy people.

Trolling the pop charts. Assembly line pop = pwnt!

Also, compared to any xmas no1 in the last 10,000 years or so, i quite like this one.

According to BBC news last night Simon Cowell's perfectly formed (and bland as all hell) turdling and RATM are both signed to Sony.

I laughed my god damn ass off.

This irritated me. The song is an over-indulgent, pseudo-anarchist abortion of a piece of music, and quite frankly I preferred Joe McPlastic.

And yes, Rage Against the Machine's Killing in the Name is a Sony BMG catalogue track, and SyCo are a subsidiary of Sony. In terms of the protest against Simon Cowell, it's sort of like boycotting your local Tesco Express and going round the corner to a big Tesco supermarket.

i think it was mostly to prove a point that the public can choose what the charts show and also proof to the internet community that their influence now extends to the 'real world'.
Slade for christmas #1 next year!

Um. The public do choose what's in the charts. That's sort of the point of them.

The only thing it proves is that a few dumb British Twitterspags and a facebook campaign can actually do shit. Oh, and it spawned a couple hundred new facebook groups "LET'S GET X TO CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE 2010." Hardly an awesome victory, really.

Ach, the only way I would have been terribly impressed was if they had managed to limit the sales of Joe Who?'s tat to the absolute minimal baseline of UberFanGirls and Desperate Middle Aged women.

THAT would be influence of real life events.

True. I mean, he still got number two, which isn't really that much of a defeat.

I imagine RATM are just happy to have a semblance of relevance again.  Deserved or no.
