This will seem petty but it started over here so American Idol is the version of our Pop Idol, another shocking show done by Simon Cowell. Apart from that I didn't have a problem with your article. It would be amazing if RATM got to no.1 in merry old England :) Britain’s “version”?

I especially love how RATM themselves have gotten behind the campaign, which was started at the grass-roots level, and generated a bit of publicity as well. No such thing as bad publicity after all. I really think some people got a shock when this clip was aired at 9am UK time... cornflakes were probably spilled. Keep on ragin' Fraser Glasgow, Scotland, UK (A.K.A "England") Hey American song writers all over the USA,
