The Bono Hate Thread

[Iceshadow]

In the entire two months I spent across Western Europe, I never met ONE person who liked Bono.

Did you ask everyone?

Did you ask everyone?

Only the people who would speak English.

That means I didn't ask Asians.

Hmmm...it seems that I have been lied to.

Maybe everyone you've met 'from Europe' who 'worships U2' is like Mole.

Meaning they claim to be from Europe, but they're actually Americans PRETENDING to be European who love Aerosmith and Smokey and the Bandit.

:shifty:

What an unsettling prospect.

Interesting.

I apologize that I don't remember exactly where you are from, but I seem to remember it being somewhere in Europe or close to it...?

Anyway I thought everyone in Europe worshiped U2.

And for God's sake, rule number one in this site is that you never, NEVER initiate nor accept hugs from ourchair or TOG.

Denmark yeah. I think alot of people dig U2. But I dont think alot of people like Bono.

Did you know that Bono funds videogames that allow you to lay waste to the Venezuelan city of Caracas?

Did you know that Bono is in support of the extension of British copyright terms on audio recordings onto an already long FIFTY year term?

Did you know that supposedly respectable editors of supposedly respectable newspapers have such minimal self-esteem as to need Bono for 'access to world leaders'?

Bono is a douche bag.

Did you know that Bono supports the Middle Eastern War?

I don't know, but if that were true, I wouldn't be surprised.

You realize when you make statistics up you always use '83%'?

What's a habit of made up statistics if you can't make up the percentage of times it's made up?

83% of Bono's physiology is pure living cancer. He is the Cancer That Walks Like A Man.

You got that one right.

No, no. That's Orson Scott Card.

Orson Scott Card is like Tony Stark, except instead of neural tissue, he's made of undifferentiated fecal matter. He is a living ****.

73% of people who say that 83% of statistics are made up are douchebags 92% of the time in 93% of all recorded cases.

I'm about 99% sure on this.

Though there's only a 50% chance of that.

NEWSFLASH: Bono is still a pretentious annoying twit.

The jeans are funky, patched with color and highly decorated. But who could believe that this hip denim is having asecond recycled fashion life and that the fabric is ecologically and environmentally sound?

When Earth Day reaches its 35th anniversary Saturday, it will have one small success to celebrate. The fashion industry, built on constant change and quick turnover, is taking a longer view. You no longer have to be an eco-warrior or a hippie to grasp the message. For the cool and stylish, green is the new black.

With Bono of U2 supporting his wife, Ali Hewson, in her Edun (read "nude" backward) venture and green Web sites sprouting like spring flowers, eco- awareness is becoming a hot topic and a growing business.

"Truly great design is coming through," said Bono about the fall/ winter collection. "We have got to find ways of making our activism sexy, and fashion is it."
