It is good news, chart wise, but laughing at Cowell?
I'm sure he is really really gutted, sitting in his million pound house / mansion shagging which ever women he is shagging tonight.
He's probably laughing back at you right this minute, knowing he doesn't have to get up to go to work in the morning. How many of us can say that (well, I can as I am on holiday)

I'm laughing at his mad rant about it, I am well aware of his millions.
You are on holiday? Have you morphed into Robby? Get off the pc and enjoy yourself!

Rat M benefits from this regardless of the 2 cents per download (if their digital deal is typical) that goes to charity. They may not have thought of the plan, but they promoted it and they got a lot of publicity. The world now knows that they have reformed and are available for weddings and bar mitzvahs.
I'm not against them for taking advantage of this, but they are corporate whores the same as Britney and everyone else that has ever appeared on TRL or Top of the Pops. To imagine that they are some sort of political entity is ridiculous. The singer wears his Che Guevara shirt for the exact reason that Kiss wears make-up and platform boots. It's a gimmick.
