Funnily enough, a guy I know did buy it, and he IS a cunt. So Sir Nob is obviously lying.

I don't know how he doesn't get punched more. I'm sure if every charity adopted Geldof's ‘be insulting to everyone, disagree with everything and be grateful for nothing' approach they'd get a whole lot of fuck all.

‘Hi, I'm from Children in Need, you twat. Give me some fucking money'.

[SA Chris]

He doesn't stop does he?

It will include a new line of products, including Bono-style wrap-around Emporio Armani glasses with a Red logo, a range of Gap T-shirts and an American Express Red credit card.

Guess what I won't be wearing this summer?

It's his inexhaustible supply of awful quotes that gets me.

"I feel a bit of a fraud, a bit of a loser, because we are not winning in the war against Aids"

"Philanthropy is like hippy music, holding hands. Red is more like punk rock, hip hop"

"Here we are, fat cats in the snow," said Bono, only to correct himself: "I should say winners in the snow"

Launch partners American Express, Gap, Converse and Giorgio Armani

I bet none of them have been responsible for 3rd world debt or suffering, or sweatshops or anything.

For gods sake man, look at the bigger picture… :wink:

with 6,500 people dying every day, it's worth a rock star ending up with a little bit of egg on his face

[Stubbs]

I would pay to throw eggs at Bono - what a great fund raising idea  

[AndyR]

Only if they were very hard boiled ostrich eggs.

[Rico]

Aids schmaids, just pass me the fucking eggs, I'm gonna bag me a rock star....

[Stubbs]

Perhaps the sponsorship amount could be based on the egg variety:

Unboiled Wren egg: £2.50

up to

Fossilised Diplodocus Egg: £200

They'd make millions

[Fingers of a Martyr]

Why not go one step further?

Since Bono's martyr complex seems to have reached epic proportions lets do a sponsored crucification.

I'd pay a tenner an hour to see the smug cunt nailed to a cross. And then when he shouts 'I've had enough. Let me down'.

We won't...

Ever.

[SA Chris]

Fossilised Diplodocus Egg: £200

Hell yeah, I'd happily spend a rio or two on those.

[Yossarian]

i don't know if that would be such a good idea...

"and on the third day he rose, put the wraparound glasses in place, picked up his guitar, and sang a song about how he told god that he wasn't a very good role model and how he should spice things up a bit, like by shaving the beard off, wearing stupid shades and being a bit more rock and roll..."

The Edge not seeing the edge

[slackline]

  Hilarious irony.

A bit too close to the edge there.
