"Britney Spears flirts with contestants...Demi Lovato crosses boundries..and L.A. Reid is suggestive...on both sides," screams the new commercial, cleverly fashioned like one of those annoying political advertisements cluttering up the airwaves for the election season.

The cheeky promo wraps up with a declarative statement: Simon Cowell. Best. Judge. Ever."

"I'm Simon Cowell, and I approved this message," intones the salty judge.

X Factor will return Nov. 1, if there isn't a baseball game.
