I've never really had much of an opinion on Bono. I kind of zone out when a guy flies in on a private jet and tells me to help end poverty. Especially a guy who's a rock star, who should be banging broads and doing exotic drugs... like chewing on nicotine patches and shooting dog laxatives into his nipples or something. But I saw this story on Bono today and now I see him for the sadistic sonofabitch he really is.
Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2,
is famous throughout the entertainment
industry for being more than just a
little self-righteous. At a recent U2
concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked
the audience for total quiet. Then,
in the silence, he started to slowly
clap his hands, once every few second.
Holding the audience in total silence,
he said into the microphone, 'Every
time I clap my hands, a child in Africa
dies.' From the front of the crowd a
voice... pierced the quiet...
'Well, fucking stop doing it then, ya
evil bastard!'
