I like their new British campaign to stop the winner of the "X Factor" from being the number 1 song in the UK for like the 7th year in a row. From my understanding which is limited, the "X Factor" is the British version of American Idol or something along those lines. Apparently, a guy on facebook organized everybody to vote for "Killing in the Name Of" by RATM to be the number one hit of the land, and are getting the support of the band, who I previously thought shunned the limelight like Nirvana. Those political wingnuts give a great interview followed by a great performance recently on BBC. Its close to 9 minutes long, I would recommend the whole tape, but if you want to get to the good stuff jump into it around the 8:52 minute mark where things get serious and there is a serious freak out. On a positive note, RATM is donating the earning from this sudden popularity boost to charity.
