FOURTH ALTERNATIVE

A touring music-industry celebrity, renowned also for his philanthropic work in the fight against world famine, has been ordered to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court charged with the offence of having unlawfully urinated in a public place.

The singer-songwriter, whose name cannot be released, was yesterday apprehended soon after having made a spectacle of himself under the canopy of the L’Oreal Fashion Week marquee in Federation Square.

Organisers and onlookers were astounded to see the celebrity, standing on a dais, urinating in an arch while performing a dance- in-the-round and creating a circular pattern of urine upon the pink carpet.

Before being led away towards a divvy van, the celebrity was heard to proclaim: ‘Always piss from inside the tent. Forget trying to piss in from the outside. Join them. Piss with the mighty and not against them, I say.’

The celebrity’s agents and his tour organisers have declined to comment.
