I like the comment about buying "Joes record now" at the end of the clip.. I don't think she was being completely serious that Rage session has made my day if not my xmas, f*cking hilarious I have been grinning all day

Listening to the incident live this morning, and not being familar with the song I was initially taken aback by what I thought was **** YOU...then when they said it again a few seconds later I thought I must've just misheard otherwise Nicky Or Shelagh would've said something, then they said it again, and then a fourth time before anything happened.
Reading the story later I did chuckle at the irony of hearing the BBC had repeatedly asked them not to say '**** you, I won't do what you tell me'

ratm's version of "renegades of funk" would have been a better choice in some ways, as it would have got more airplay (no swearing) but still carries a good defiant message.

There is a clean version though, available at most sites, including iTunes. Will be the version played on the charts show on Sunday, which coincidently is my 21st birthday, could be a great presentalecstilleyedye said:
It is annoying me though how Simon Cowell keeps on referring to the number 1 spot as 'Joe's', as if it's his god given right to be there... pfft.
Also the Daily Mail came up with a classic article on the incident on radio yesterday mourning, they were shocked as expected. Cheryl Cole has also stated it would be a sad day for the charts if an American Band got christmas number 1.... erm pardon??

I think we're missing the point. Surely it's not anti-xfactor, but just to annoy simon cowell. Doesn't that make it worth it that 20 million people were happy to actively spend some money to stick a v-sign up at him. It doesn't matter that it's an organised rebellion and i'm being asked (not told) to buy RATM. The organisation and viral spiralling from what was a small facebook group has captured the imagination of the 15 year old anarchist within us and it makes me proud. 20 million superstars i say to counterbalance the 20million conformists. Ah sweet harmony
The number of normal people in this country seems to be rising. It gives me faith and makes me proud! I love you all (although slightly less if you buy the xfactor single).

...not to mention he's been in the 'care' of Sheryl. and probably picked-up some choice usage...
