Why must people pick on him ?

[KristenF]

The July issue of Q magazine has an article on the possible fate of various performers 50 years from now. They did Marilyn Manson, Damon Albarn, Britney Spears, Thom Yorke, & Bono.

Here's Bono at age 94:

The story so far-Following 2007's disappointing A Bit More That You Can't Leave Behind, Bono fell off a ladder at home while trying to retrieve his frisbee from a fig tree & lapsed into a persistent vegetative state. After 37 years in the tireless care of staff at St. James hospital in Dublin, and with daily visits from Adam Clayton, Bono made a shock recovery and announced his intention to re-form the band. But they were'nt interested.

Last seen-Bono spends his days writing rambling letters to Points of View from his Wicklow castle.

There's also a horrifying picture of how he would look at 94, but unfortunately I don't have a scanner.

Were all the snippets done tongue-in-cheek? I have a feeling they're just trying to be funny. I wonder if they used a "frisbee" because of his whole frisbiterian comment lol.

 

[Bonochick]

I thought it was funny.

Yes, they were "trying" to be funny, but all of the profiles were really lame. I was disappointed when I saw this a couple of weeks ago, because Q can often be very witty. I'm sure many of the people here could have come up with something more amusing for Bono (like maybe that he was finally revealed to be the AntiChrist?)

It's a joke. Perhaps not a very good one but just a joke.

 

[KristenF]

I know it's a joke and I don't expect everyone to worship Bono, it simply was'nt very funny. I think if they had to do it, it could have been more amusing. All the profiles were pretty stupid, definitely not up to the usual standards of humor at Q.

 

[Mullen-Girl]

I thought it was kinda funny LOL

 

[Bonochick]

I don't feel like scanning it because the descreen process takes so long...so I took a pic with my camera...which means it's not the best quality by far.

 

[U2Kitten]

Well, at least he's still got his hair!

Personally, I hate 'tongue in cheek' humor, because most of the time it's really meant to be rude but written off as a joke.

 

[ramblin rose]

Wow, he looks really hot....................for 94

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

I think Ali colored his hair while he was in vegetative state.

Yeah I don't like tongue in check humor either. At least not when it's with someone I like.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I agree-I personally found it kinda amusing (I've never read "Q" magazine before, so I can't comment on their type of humor they generally have).

whatapic! lol

 

[biff]

Actually, that's not bad for 94. I would have thought his ear lobes would have been a lot more droopy.

 

[teehee]

Uhhh

Scaring

For some reason this pic reminds me of Ronald Reagan

wow that does look like ronald reagan! you know i think i could find something better to say to make fun of bono. maybe we should all think of better jokes about him! i will try to think of something. but come on, that clip WAS kinda lame. what did they say about marylin manson???

Not up to Q standards ? What standards would that be ? Q magazine, just like Rolling Stone, lost credibility a long time ago.
When legitimate music magazines start putting the likes of Beyonce & Britney on their covers they cease being relevant in my opinion. If you read the CD review section of this issue, they mentioned how one record may inspire teens to bring an Uzi to school, but that's no big deal. True, it's meant as humor, but again, not very funny.
People need to leave Bono alone. At least he's using his fame for something positive.
Getting off my soapbox now.

I agree! They are only using their bodies to sell magazines. Neither of them have any musical credibility.

looks like an old grandma !

I hope Bono will one day stop dye his hair. I want to see him grey when he is 80.

I thought the same thing! Thats not bad looking for 94. Except the hair is black.

Re: Re: Why must people pick on him ?

I know...that line is great.

 

[forbonou2]

LOL @ Bono at 94! And, 'at least he still has hair!'! Ah-don't take it to heart too much! AT least they did not show all us fans chasing him in our wheel chairs! ha-lol!

"PEOPLE NEED TO LEAVE BONO ALONE. AT LEAST HE'S USING HIS FAME FOR SOMETHING POSITIVE."

Truer words have never been said, eire apparent.

I would hate to think that this might be an offshoot of some residual english-irish thing, if you know what I mean.

Q mag was the mag that just put Mr. Mathers and Outkast as more influential people in the music business then the B-man, so maybe someone there isn't very fond of Bono.

And, as for the resemblence to Mr. Reagan, remember that Ronald Reagan was of Irish descent so those genes DO show through.

AND BONO, DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHERS DO OR SAY. YOU ARE GREATLY LOVED AND RESPECTED BY MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD.

 

[Bono's shades]

This Q magazine thing was pretty mild compared to some things I've seen regarding Bono. And remember, it's not like he got singled out. They wrote these little scenarios about a number of rock/pop stars.

I wonder what they said about Britney Spears?

 

[u2bonogirl]

i had a thought. take a look at his dad in the one video or whatever. he dont look nasty in old age! i think that bono has good genes
