"We need to dismantle very significant parts of our culture and really re-examine them."
Blur frontman Damon Albarn has called for the end of The X Factor.
A light read over at NME, the singer is speaking out against the messages in celebrity culture. Albarn was reporting from Mali on the African country's attitude towards waste, where everything of value is recycled, reused and remade.
He said: "At some point in the very near future we are going to have to change our value system so dramatically, and what we deem as important and what we throw away.
"We need to dismantle very significant parts of our culture and really re-examine them. I suppose you start with the celebrity thing.
"There's just so many things I would alter. I think for a start you have to get rid of things like The X Factor immediately."
He also said he wanted to "get rid of 99 per cent of the media."
