OPEN LETTER TO V-FESTIVAL ORGANISERS

[SpoonMan]

If you feel the same way, please feel free to copy/paste my email and send to:

hello@vfestival.com

--------------------

Dear Organisers,

I am concerned about the increasing popularity of throwing cups of human urine over crowds at V-Festival. Last year I was drenched several times by young boys who appeared to think it was somehow cool and acceptable. Recently I was at an Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium and the volume of urine being thrown was staggering. Seeing as Oasis are playing at V this year I expect there will be torrents of urine thrown unless radical action is taken.

In light of this, could you please introduce a policy to evict urine throwers from the festival? Could you also make sure everyone is aware of this policy including all attending the festival and all security staff and stewards? Maybe it’s worthwhile including the throwing of water in the rule as I would expect some cheeky young chaps will claim that “it was only water”.

Please consider my request seriously, not only for the comfort of my fellow festival attendees, but also for health and safety reasons, especially considering the high risk associated with swine flu.

Sincerely,

--------------------

I agree that its wrong but think to single out one oasis gig is also wrong i've been to hundreds if not thousands of gigs and seen it happen quite a few times not just oasis

i've seen it happen at prodgiy gigs, ian brown, t in the park even radiohead, pulp, primal scream the list goes on so to single out one band as the cause whch i kinda think you are doing so pretty harsh

and to predict it will happen beacause it happened at one gig i can;t seen anyone taking you serious

its like me saying i saw someone intoxicated at a gig so lets all write to v organisers to ban all bevvy

The way I see it, this is the only thing you can really do about it.

Think about how big the crowd round say, the main stage, is. And how many Hi-Vis there are knocking about. How on earth are they going to enforce a rule like "Throw some piss and we'll throw you out". Identifying perps is near impossible in the first place and secondly, what argument do you have when they say "prove it was me then" You can't go through the complete hassle of throwing someone out of a £160 festival on suspicion and the say-so of one or two pissed up witnesses. The incident in the youtube vid with the Irish chick is pretty unusual in that he was caught red-handed (pissy-handed??)

Good on her though. She should have shat in his hat and replaced it on his swede

It doesn't seem to matter who is playing, last year I got a warm shoulder watching Reverend and the Makers (though somehow it was possibly the highlight of the set), Verve, Lenny Kravitz and Amy Winehouse, though it's possible she threw that one.

Joking apart, it is moronic. It's probably the same people who cheer when somebody drops a glass in the pub. If you're a urine-chucker, grow up, or get counselling. It's not normal human behaviour and actually relates to abandonment issues and attention deficit as a child. You'd never guess I was studying psychology!

I'll amend your letter

Dear V

If you have any heart can you please throw out all oasis fans I saw them i did throwing a cup of urine i did at wembely I did, altthough i's only saw one cup being thrown I would like to see them executed similar to what happened to the Jews under Hitler I blame the government I do you would never seen this happening at a festival under Thatcher

Also I am scared i may catch swing flu off their piss I am, what can i do to protect myself should I wear a mask and a boiler suit I will hold my breath in until the end of the festival I won;t eat nor drink for that matter except for me ma's homemade soup that I will keep in a flask no ones getting any. I is not sure how you will get my wirstband on as i've heard the staff may have to touch my wrist they also might be infected with Pig Disease

I am also worried about the amount of litter on the grass, can you also draw me a detailed map of where all dirty animals have been when festival has not been on so i can aviod their nasty disease

If it gets muddy I hope you make a platfrom for me as i hear pig disease may be in the mud too I better remember my wellies

Please find it in your hearts to iron out these problems i only get day release but have saved up three days to go to v i have

my doctor says i am getting better everyday although pig disease has put any hopes of getting out my padded cell back a few months

bye for now

Love You

Ps I am eating a jam sandwhich if i eat it all i get custard for pudding

[Angelis]

I'm thinking Oedipus/Freud and the 5 stages of development..

Perhaps we should label all urine throwers as people who have penis envy or want to sleep with their own mum.

@dixie chicks, @bekimo, @geeman, @Tee_Jay, thanks for your support!

I agree that its wrong but think to single out one oasis gig is also wrong...

[staffsknot]

You will get nowhere with this but if it makes you feel better do it. I agree the p*sschuckers are normally immature little chavs and deserve filling in but last time I said I lamped one for chucking it into the disabled area the f**kwit element on here jumped in with both feet. They have a point, lamping someone even if you do hand them to security is technically assault and could see you booted out too.

Just fair warning that if you do lamp one of these little fellas they tend to know their rights (enough experience of courts to be lawyers in many cases).

As for the penis envy I think its an attention seeking thing actually, chimps play with their excrement and chuck it about in zoos out of boredom or to attract attention. I'm guessing the chimps are higher up the IQ ratings but we can run a rough comparison with a chav...
