Glasto - now your butt is sponsored, too

It's being pitched as being part of the festival's commitment to all things ecological, but we can't help feeling that the deal between Glastonbury and Nouvelle toilet tissue looks a little bit like even every shit at the festival is now going to be sponsored.

Michael Eavis is instructing people to leave their own, non-recycled toilet roll at home - presumably this won't go as far as having everyone searched at the entrance and off-brand bogroll being confiscated - but, frankly, if we were heading to Worthy Farm we wouldn't want to put our faith in supplies lasting the whole weekend.

Of course, if the event wanted to be truly green, they'd, say, encourage people to leave their mobile phones at home, and not erecting temporary mobile masts, and having stalls sponsored by mobile phone companies on the site. We've probably just missed that announcement, haven't we?
