Jarvis Cocker Uses News Of The World As Toilet Paper

Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker wipes his arse with the final edition of the disgraced British tabloid News Of The World onstage.

The reunited Britpop legends just performed the T In The Park festival and Cocker made no bones about his feelings towards the Murdoch red-top that recently published its final edition.

According to Clash Music he pulled out a copy of the paper and reached around to mock-wipe his bum with it, saying "that's the only thing that piece of shit has been good for in 168 years".

Then the band played ‘Do You Remember The First Time?’, which he dedicated to the ‘last time’ the newspaper was published.

He also dedicated 'Common People', to the Scots who voted for the social-democrat Scottish National Party at their recent elections.

It’s not the first time Cocker has protested using his bum, as he mooned the crowd from the stage of the BRIT Awards in 1996 while Michael Jackson was performing.

Pulp will be in Australia for Splendour In The Grass and sideshows in July and August.
