Publicity Whore
It’s finally official… U2’s Bono is an asshole. I’ve never really had anything against U2’s music, but I’ve also never really liked it. And Bono has always looked like a conniving douche, but for reasons that I could never identify (although always wearing flagrantly fancy/hip sunglasses and referring to yourself by one name really helps)… until now.
This post isn’t about how much of a douche Bono is, though. It’s about what an asshole Bono is. The evidence? Right here.
You see, Bono thought it would be an excellent idea to spend 100 million, to only raise a measly 20 million for children with AIDS in Africa, through his Red Campaign. Now, I ain’t no mathematician rocket scientist 8 year old Clever Hans, but I’m pretty sure Bono would have been better off donating those 100 million Americans directly to the children in Africa. Now, I know that if he did that, nobody would have really found out about how much he cares about dying Africans. You see, if you’re a publicity whore like Bono, it makes absolute perfect sense to spend five times as much money telling everyone you care, than what you actually spend helping the people that you “care” about. As a gesture of gratitude, I think I speak for everyone when I say: Hey, Bono! Go fuck yourself!
