Well believe it or not, your 'sense of humor' guys were officially and reportedly 'furious' over the Solar hoax. They felt such things confuse fans and hurt the release and promotion of the real thing. That's where I got the 'hate' thing sue. I don't have a link but it was on several news sources I think here too. Yes the band was quoted as 'furious' as in not laughing. They have a sense of humor but they also have a temper. I get tired of people laughing everything off as a sense of humor. Bono has become very irate when people question his personal life, even the apt. thing. He sued over his bare butt being on a mag cover. So don't be so sure our boys are always laughing and cool with everything people online do concerning them. As I said at first, ha ha, these are obvious jokes here but I agree with Tip Top Prince.
There is a difference between the whole Solar thing and this. With Solar the people who made it was pressing it as truth, not for fun, but to trick people and to make them believe something that wasn't true. Where as with all of these nobody is saying "This is offical, this is real", we are all saying that "Hey, I'm a U2 fan, and this is what I think the next U2 ablum cover might look like" Not trying to fool or fake anyone, but doing it because as fan I'm so interested in this band that I'm willing to spend time and work on making an ablum cover that will never be used because its jsut for fun and just showing to other people as what it is, a CD cover made by U2 Fans for U2 Fans. No lies, no tricks, nobody trying to say theirs is offical or better then anyone elses. Just fun. I'm sure if the band saw that, they wouldn't care.
Because there is a difference between this and Solar, we aren't trying to lie, trick, or do anything to anyone. This is between the members of this board for the members of this board. And the only way for this to get out of hand and cause as much trouble as the Solar could, is if somebody from this board took somebody's work here and tried to email fans sites as this stuff being offical, but we could easily send that site this thread to show that its a fake, and not a fake that is trying to confuse anyone, a fake that is just for fun and entertainment until the next ablum does come out. So dont' get bent of shape, don't act like you are all high and mighty and just because you don't like it nobody else should. If you don't want to see anything here, then don't open it, and don't post here. Enough said.
