Rage Against the Machine beat X Factor winner in charts

While I think it's nice that the masses proved it's us that rule the charts and not some exec at a music company or Simon Cowell, could they not have found a better song from a better artist to champion? Why not pick something Christmassy or the Children in Need song?

And Simon won't care, the battle has probably increased the sales of the X-Factor single massively anyway, so he's minted.
