Kay's spoof TV song outsells real thing

As a savage satire of television talent shows, Peter Kay's spoof
programme Britain's Got The Pop Factor and Possibly a New Celebrity
Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice was, at times, so
close to the real thing that it was cringeworthy.

Eight days after the broadcast, Kay has scored a stunning victory over
the marketing machinery of manufactured pop. The comedian's joke
record – delivered in his fictional cross-dressing persona as an
overweight Irish transsexual – beat the real winner of The X-Factor in
last night's singles chart. Simon Cowell was unavailable for comment.
