Confounding the efforts or at least the expectations of the general idiotic gaggle of humanity is funny though. And it is worthwhile to assert now and again that not everyone buys into the same shit. But you guys insist on taking it seriously so, I wouldn?t describe myself as a Rage fan either. They take themselves way too seriously for dancing monkeys. Their first album was genre defining however but then they released Evil Empire which showed that they were one trick ponies. I made an effort to watch the X factor this year though and as far as ?entertainment? goes it is a whole new universe of shit. It redefines the laws of shitness. And at the end of the day there is some twt in charge of it who has engineered some sort of national tradition out of the whole thing which is a testament to the celebrated mental retardation embraced by popular culture. This sort of thing is just the same as a heckle of ?W@NKER? as a politician walks passed. A vocal display of social annoyance at someone being a w@nker. You don?t have to like the song or love the band or some shit to appreciate the idea. Once again, erm... duh.
