Dizzee Rascal and Justin Hawkins side by side.

Bono making the Bono bit sound dead pansy.

Sugababes in 3 part harmony right after Chris Martin and Dido sang weedy bits.

Will F***ing Young.

The Darkness doing guitars in place of the 'Z-cars' synth riff.

Right, we set up BandAidDilemma.net.

"You want to give to the cause. You also want not to hear this record. Solution: Deprive the listening public by buying as many copies as you feel you can afford, destroying them on camera in as amusing a manner as possible and sending us the footage/ photos to display and bolster our campaign. If you appreciate the content of this site, click 'here' to donate, all proceeds to Band Aid 20" etc etc.

Secondary campaign:

"Do not download Band Aid 20 illegally. To do so is depriving the charity of proceeds and is thus more morally dubious than any other downloading you may partake of. Even worse, it means that you may be spreading the opportunity to listen to this stinking piece of shit. Buy the single, as many copies as you can, and destroy them..."

Tertiary campain: Name this thieving bastard.

That was a suggestion, not an announcement! Although as this has already gestated to this level over one breakfast and one lunch, I'm sure we can come up with something. I'll register and pay for a suitable period on the domain, see if Scott P will cough the web space (that'll teach him to ring me on a Saturday morning) and try writing a page. It prettymuch just needs an 'About' page, a page ripping into the record, links to where to buy it and donate, a safety and non-association disclaimer and an editable gallery of movies and snaps, which I can build using free software. Of course, any webbies that wish to contribute and thus advertise their skills would be appreciated *cough*

I'm making this thread public in order to build interest.

Well, now you mention it ;)

I'll be in touch, I'm going to write some copy and do a little research and see how it all looks.

ok. Who's that Scott bloke? If you're stuck I guess I could look into volunteering some space, except this thing could take off and use much more bandwith/space than my humble hosting plan can cope with...

Scott's a mate in Zurich who has a virtual server paid up, he's tried to flog me space on it before. As you said though, if this gets popular it may collapse under its own weight. OTOH that's a bit on the confident side, I rather expect it to be just an amusing wheeze between a few mates really, and we only ought to put it up for a few months.

Well, this thread of yours seems to indicate a healthy response as we're talking (moving) pictures... Am just thinking of the recent story of http://sorryeverybody.com/, they had to swap servers because of the unexpected success of the campaign.

Yeah, but that's about a whole US nation of angry democrats rather than a few angry anti MOR-music Brits :) However, new development I hear of that may put me off; Someone apparently beat me to it >(
