Note; I'm not drunk or owt, I've just spent most of the night packing too much stuff into too small a space (ahem).

Anyway, was watchin News 24 as I went and unsurprisingly Bono appeared for the umteenth time this month. Only I just wanted to draw people's attention to his "If an Irish Rock star can quote a British Prime minister (i.e. Churchill)" thing. The smarm - you have to see it, seriously - made me want to hurt the man. I've never really disliked him particularly until now, I mean, U2 are crap obviously.

Anyway, did anyone else see it?

[a dense loner]

hate to admit it but i saw it. anyway i voted for the shit eating pr monkey, cos it does exactly what it says on the tin. with all this exposure surely he can try his hand at something new, say making a few good songs. they won't be penned by him obviously, cos if an english layabout can be allowed to quote an orange entertainer, barry manilow, "i write the songs"

[Bubba]

Ok, let's get this out of the way - U2 have given a shit load of money to charidy. Good for them.

But Bono is still a smug, overrated cunt who I would love to slap.

And why doesn't he for once take those fucking shades off :evil:

[JohnM]

Bono is such a pretentious bastard.  He's one of those goody two shoes 'rock stars' who would probably like to compare himself to jesus and writes anthems for people who think they are in to rock and would like to "make a differnece".  I've been waiting to get that of my chest for a while! just needed an outlet!

Intolerance saddens me...................nobody heard of live and let live..............sad sad world

[fatboySlimfast]

Intolerance saddens me

and me to, i think its terrible that such negative people are on this board............





Bono is a self publicising smug wanker though

[Fingers of a Martyr]

I saw that quote as well and the man wants fucking shot. The mans a fucking walking contradiction, i remember seeing him cohorting with the last pope on the tellie and now he's fucking banging on about saving Africa. Go Bono  : :roll:

Intolerance saddens me...................nobody heard of live and let live..............sad sad world

Self-righteousness detector just went of the fuckin scale :roll:

[gollum]

Self-righteousness detector just went of the fuckin scale

If I get this right, you are accusing me of self righteousness, which I think kinda proves the point.

[Fingers of a Martyr]

But surely your accusations of intolerance and, what comes across as at least, message that intolerant people shouldn't be so, is, itself intolerant?

[dave]

Intolerance saddens me...................nobody heard of live and let live..............sad sad world

you seem very intolerant to people who don't like bono.

[gollum]

Not a judgement, just a statement....................I have no opinion one way or the other about Bono or about people who like or don't like him.

But surely your accusations of intolerance and, what comes across as at least, message that intolerant people shouldn't be so, is, itself intolerant?

Is true, however, I think feeling that intolerance is not a positive thing is a world away from:

But Bono is still a smug, overrated cnut who I would love to slap.

or

and the man wants fucking shot.

[dave]

its a good job gollum is here to bring us all back down to earth on this gritty and controversial subject.

There's this T-shirt available from Teefly.com...

Time for a bad joke:

Whats the difference between Bono and God?

God doesn't walk about Dublin thinking he's Bono!

[Bonjoy]

[Rico]

He's one of those goody two shoes 'rock stars' who would probably like to compare himself to jesus

To be fair, who doesn't?

I don't like to brag, but i once compared myself to JC and found i was vastly superior in almost every department.

I mean, he had a good spin pass but his kicking game was non existent.

And for god's sake lose the dress man.

[Bubba]

Bono likes to campaign to make Poverty History. U2 concert tickets were on sale in Brazil this week for $88 - two-thirds the average monthly wage.

Says it all really.

[Little Paul]

What's the difference between both options?

[Bubba]

You decide.

[Yossarian]

bono has exceedingly good taste in wine, in restaurants in cap d'antibes, and in which olive oil to drizzle over his freshly caught and grilled lobster. if i was in a particularly critical mood i would probably suggest that his professed love for saving the plight of victims around the world was born out of guilt rather than anything else.

and for fuck sake, did he not once order 15,000 pizzas to prove a point?

[dave]

i just wish he'd take them cunting sunglasses off for once.

[Sypeland]

Strikes me that Bono is only Geldofs side kick anyway, now there is a man on a self publicity trip to Sainthood!

I wonder how much he makes out of charity work?

[SA Chris]

i just wish he'd take them cunting sunglasses off for once.

Would bother me less if they were actually sunglasses, not some bling J-Lo style slightly tinted lenses.

[dom]

Time man of the year!

For me, Geldof's twat factor went through the roof when I saw him quoted as saying;-

anyone who doesn't buy the Live 8 DVD is a c*nt

I didn't buy the Live 8 DVD cos I saw a few clips on tv and it looked shite to say the least, but I would definitely give generously to see Bob personally call everyone who doesn't own it a c*nt'. Maybe starting with the Leeds Rhinos first team.

He does that, he's got a charidee event I could support.
