Hey PLEBANs!! This mad person writing to you just came back from school and decided to watch the EBTTRT video in slow motion :lol: AAAND discovered all those words appearing are from an article presumably criticizing U2's and mostly Bono's preformance during Zoo TV. Here's the fragment that I could transcribe, there's also a bit more, but I hope this'll do it:

"(..) everybody to size up.
He seems like his contemptuous of his audience. When he sings "take me higher" during 'Even Better Than The Real Thing', he phrases it like a command as if the crowd have a duty to entertain him. On the same song, there's a line "my heart is where it's always been", and while (...)"

Another fragment tells about a boy from the audience giving Bono the first thing he had in his pocket, which happens to be a one dollar bill, and Bono answers him something like "You're giving me money! You've already given me a lot of that!"

It also realtes the whole thing Bono did of kissing the camera and directing his lens towards his crotch, it says something about a "PVC-covered package" :giggle:

Alright, so the question is: anybody got this article??? Pictures mostly, but transcription would be OK :) Is it even popular?? :hmm: Thanks grlz (and boys :laugh: )!!!!

:giggle: I've always been a bit (ok, very :D ) obsessed with the whole Zoo-TV-sumbliminal-message thingy :laugh:. I love doing that thing, I've seen so many things in vids I haven't seen before! Try it! :nerd:

I've googled it and nuthing! :sad: Just random pages with nothing to do with U2. I even included U2 in the search but nothing. I know there's some mistakes in what I just typed there above :reject: I even corrected those but nothing either :sad:

I once made stills of that video and I remember that some of them (or one of them, not sure:scratch:) where from a newspaper article. If I find it on my Photobucket account, I'll post it.
