Unable to escape from the X Factor

    It's probably a well worn topic at this point but why is it so difficult to get away from the glorified karaoke that is the X factor.

    In the last 24 hours at least two high profile RTE presenters have dedicated a fair amount of time of their programme to it.

    I understand that it's one of the most popular shows around but why does it need to be discussed by the national broadcaster of Ireland

    See if you can find yourself one of those remote-control thingies, and change channels whenever it comes on.

    What about when it's on every radio show, on the cover of every tabloid and magazine, mentioned on several tv shows. It's very irritating.

    The X Factor is like incest: absolutely disgusting, but you don't really have to do anything about it unless it affects you directly.

    I think you'll find I never said I watched it. I DON'T.

    It's when you can't turn on a radio or open a newspaper without Simon Cowell in your face that I get fed up.

    Why are they hailing the fact that the Irish can now vote as some kind of victory? All it means is the producers of the X factor make even more £££€€€ from all the Irish muppets who can now waste their €€€ voting :D

    Oh the Ironing,

    This used to be a X Factor free zone.
