Film-Factor

Simon Cowell is set to promote his profile ever further with his new idea for a film. Good on him. Once again showing his entrepreneurial flare, whilst entertaining the masses with numbingly crass, run-of-the-mill drivel. It was stated on air that if just one percent of the people who voted during the last series of X-Factor went out to buy the resultant single, it would reach number one in the charts. Although, on the one hand, this represents the dire state of affairs for British television and British pop music at the moment, it also illuminates our desire to be identifiable through an accepted medium. It will inevitably be a complete success.
