This X-Faxtor voting nonsense

FFS people of this country! It is impossible to avoid the latest "scandal" relating to this pish, even though I've never seen a single show, you get clip after clip, and it's f**king headline news.

And for what? Because Simon Cowell latched on to the massive boost in ratings that Strictly come dancing got last year when he of two left feet fame - John Sergeant - pulled in the viewers, sympathy and votes with his decidedly rubbish performance.

So what does Cowell do? Engineer this years event so that an apparently useless couple of Irish idiots are continually put to a vote - no need for a vote, the judges can simply bounce them - so that a) we get another storm in a teacup and ratings boost, and b) he gets people paying to vote you f**king mongtards!!!

Here's how it goes, this sh*te carries on until they get down to 3 acts (or whoever many it gets to when the judges still have the final say), then miraculously the judges manage to agree that they are utter pish, and boot them off the show.

I know the public can be f**king thick at times, but jesus christ, you don;t need to be Mystic Meg to see what is going on here. And I don't watch this sh*t for a reason, it's sh*t, I certainly don't want to have to endure endless hours of shity speculation and protest groups (anti-Cowell protest groups ffs) on the news programmes!

Just turn over, and leave the dregs of society to enjoy their singing/dancing/jungle survival shows whilst the normal people like you and me get on with our lives

That's the point, it's not about not weatching the programme, I manage that every week, it has now spread bloody everywhere so you can't avoid it.

I try and avoid anything that doesn't look like "proper news" for this very reason.

Can't wait for Jordan and Peter Andre to appear on Strictly Come Dancing though - they've not been getting much press recently with these two Irish clowns around...

This is what I said to Mrs Zulu on Sunday evening - virtually word for word.

Just before she told me to feck off into the other room if I didn't like it. Which I did.

Wasn't Cowell scheduled to be beheaded and crucified?

Please tell me I'm not mistaken.

I haven't watched X factor before but was flicking on Sunday and caught the last 10 minutes of the results show.

What an absolute pile of dung.

If anyone saw the Peter Kay parody last year/ year before you would struggle to tell the difference between the shows. Utter, utter sh*t.

Bob on.

It was so close to the real truth it was unreal. I don't so much mind it as a piece of harmless Saturday night TV but its the fact some clowns think that what the X Factor produces is "music" as opposed to some half decent karaoke singers that really annoys me. I actually think Cowell thinks he is some musical guru producing great quality. Which of course he is not. He's just getting a conveyor belt of shit "pop stars" who lack the originality, talent and songwriting ability to have a career of their own!

The fact that the horrendous winner last year covered a great song and mullered it only makes me more angry!

You're right, that Peter Kay thingy was utter, utter sh*t!

As is X-factor, but for all his aults, Cowell is a clever man, none of us watch the show, yet still find the time to talk about it on internet forums!!.. That's what he wants, publicity, not just ratings

So he doesn't want nailing up then?

I still have no idea who John, Edward or Jedward are. I'm fine thanks. Watch BBC news, and buy s proper paper and it's fine.

I was just thinking, well, at least this isn't a thread that is going turn into a Megson out tirade when the flogging and hanging meister steams into view.

I bow to you, maestro.

He doesn't want it, but he certainly warrants it
