#whamageddon

I just lost #whamageddon in July 🤷

#Whamageddon really bothers me. Firstly, it's a million miles away from the worst Christmas song (Wonderful Christmas Time - McCartney, hang your head in shame), but also, it makes George Michael into a punchline, despite being a Grade A chap. In a show of absolute magnanimity, Michael donated his proceeds from it - in perpetuity - to the Band Aid foundation. It still receives that money: around £300,000 a year. And people actively avoid playing it for a meme.
