. (Classic Rock) John Lydon has branded the X Factor a "cruel" show that churns out "cruise ship" acts. The Sex Pistols frontman was promoting his new autobiography Anger Is An Energy at an event at Oxford University when he took aim the reality TV show and its creator Simon Cowell.

According to the NME, Lydon said: "Simon Cowell, that's our worst enemy. I don't think people on the show are that awful, it becomes awful when they become trained into that cruise ship show band mentality, and that's the poison of it.

"He has got us all on his big cruise ship lollipop, and I ain't licking his lollipop.," Lydon said. "It's really bad, all of those shows." Read the rest of his comments here.
