Bono to Appear in Oxfam Campaign

Jamelia, Chris Martin and Bono have agreed to appear covered in chocolate, butter and blood - for a new Oxfam campaign. The series of posters will be unveiled next month, showing the Coldplay frontman photographed under a mountain of rice, Michael Stipe covered in milk, and Jamelia wearing nothing more than a few feathers.

contactmusic also had this to say about the campaign...

BONO, MICHAEL STIPE and CHRIS MARTIN have teamed up to appear in a startling new advertising campaign for British charity OXFAM.

The rockers, who are joined by RADIOHEAD frontman THOM YORKE and JAMELIA, will be seen in a series of posters promoting Oxfam's MAKE TRADE FAIR drive to combat globalisation.

COLDPLAY frontman Martin appears in the midst of a mountain of rice, Yorke is photographed coated in blood, while pop beauty Jamelia is pictured naked, with only feathers hiding her genitalia.

A source says, "Bono, Chris and Michael are all staunch supporters of the campaign and have done wonders in raising its profile.

"The only sticking point with Thom was that he's an avid vegetarian and didn't want to have real blood poured over him.

"We had to concoct a realistic-looking blood replacement using chocolate. The result is still very powerful."
 
So, because Thom Yorke is a vegetarian, they are using chocolate, but otherwise they would have used real blood? Yeah, right.
 
Whoa, wait, is Bono going to be naked and covered in chocolate!?
:faint:

I'm very, very, very, VERY excited about this campaign.
 
OXFAM are a tremendous organisation, have done great work for many years now...I'm glad Bono is associated with them
