X-tremely embarrassing Phone scandal?

Now, we've been trying not to talk about the X-Factor. It's not big and it's not clever. But it looks like the phone scandal complaints have become too big for us to ignore.

To recap:

Annoying Welsh bloke (the one who looks like a James Bond baddy) was favourite to win.

Annoying Scottish bloke (the one who looks about 12) wins and cries a lot.

Annoying Welsh bloke's fans get angry and complain saying that the voting had been rigged. But Ofcom are only investigating 80 complaints. Out of the millions that voted.

So there we have it. Lots of people couldn't get through because lots of people spent their hard earned cash on voting for annoying people to win a contest run by more annoying people. So yes, if you look at it like that, viewers have indeed been conned.

If any real news happens with this, we'll let you know.
