Default Been asked to play for Britain's Got Talent

Help people with auditions, general backing guitarist.

Thing is:

I detest Simon Cowell and everything he does. X Factor, American Idol, Britain's Got Talent... I hate what he's done to music and the fact that he almost makes the fact obvious that he really doesn't have a genuine passion for it and he's using it as a medium in which to make money, and in said medium, he doesn't have to make any effort to actually create something amazing. He tags along semi-talented fresh-faced braindead people and gets a team of producers to help them shit out an 11 track piece of utter retardedness. Not to mention the low-down scandal he was in that involved contact exploitation, where he gained musician's royalties on every track he produced by playing a few seconds of tambourine or something on each one, slipping it in the contract and carrying it out afterwards is a breach.

Phew. So yeah, the man's a scumbag. What should I do though? This shit could open up new things for me but if I was to step onto the stage I'd be going against everything I believe in.
