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!

OMG

That is beyond awesome!!

Shows that you don't always need money to make things happen. The person who started that campaign must be jumping up and down right now:D


BTW? Your icon? You win an internets cake!
