I Fucking Love the British

There is a long standing British tradition of the UK Christmas Number One. It is A Big Deal.

For the last four years running, it has been won by the winner of that year's X-Factor. This year someone decided they had had enough, and a grass-roots, no-budget campaign was launched to beat out this year's X-Factor winner with Rage Against the Machine's 'Killing In The Name'.

You know, this one:



It has just been announced that they have, in actual fact, won.

I am MADE OF GLEE!

FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME MERRY CHRISTMAS.

*giggles* Why do I hear that said in a Kiwi "sweet as" accent, a Kiwi accent (South Island probably, if there is a difference in regional dialect between SI and NI) and then in an English accent?

All three are most amusing.

I sort of want them to change the lyrics to this for the concert :D
