Why do they need to try and guilt-trip you into buying the charity song?

It seems a bit shameless. And before the bloody PC crowd jump down at me, of course i feel bad for those soldiers who died and lost limbs, but it was a bit over the top tonight if im being honest.

And why would Simon just decide to do this thing for help For heroes just all of a sudden this year and last?

Because, amongst other things, it's a great marketing tool for the X Factor.

I don't think people are being guilt tripped, you buy if you want to, you don't if you don't want to. It's not like Simon knocks on your door selling them making you feel you have to.

If you have factual proof of that then post it, otherwise retract it.

And to the OP, Simon said he was approached by the Charity, so let's get it into context

It makes me sick watching those video intros. There are far more worthwhile causes that could be supported (cancer charities etc). These soldiers chose to sign up and join the army and knew the risks.
Why should they instantly become heroes because they signed up for a job that they chose to do?
