U2 in playboy

[gareth brown]

haha oh yeah he's hardly squeaky clean, but this one time he basically did nothing wrong

Adam has a gun on the LP sleeve?

i KNEW someone would say something like that!!

 

[cobl04]

I think Sicy's comment was more of a "it's always you " type comment.

nipples, folks. nipples.

can you not bring up 65973453894? I miss him and his teasing avatars.

my LP copy has it slap bang on the back, if I put the album on really loud and it starts annoying my girlfriend I try and take her mind off it by handing her the sleeve with the large photo of Adam just stood there with his piece out, but it doesn't work....

 

[blueeyedgirl]

It's censored in America,

Please tell me you're joking? The cover is actually censored? Geez, Louise!

 

[cobl04]

That is extremely prudish.

 

[corianderstem]

You talk as if this is surprising. This is the country that needed an alternate cover for Boy.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Boy or "Kiddie Porn" as we like to call it. Yes, I do tend to forget about the good'ol US of A's general squeamishness about penises. (Hey that rhymed!) I come from the country where you can hear "fuck" on telly in primetime

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, we're squeamish about boobs, too. Remember, this is the nation that went into Defcon 5 when Janet Jackson's breast (with a technically covered nipple, mind you) was exposed by Justin Timberlake at the Superbowl.

But yes. In general, nekkid penises are much more verboten than nekkid boobs. Unless your name is Havey Keitel, in which case I think it's in your contract to show your wang in every other movie you're in.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

God yeah, between him and Ewan McGregor!! Now I'm not a girl to say no to a nekkid penis generally, but these 2, you have to say, geez, we've seen it already, put it away!!!

 

[occlith]

Mine actually has an X over it.

Mine has a shamrock, not an X (I guess someone in the art department thought it more humorous).

Thanks for the uncensored post Galeongirl; first time I've seen it (and it.)

 

[Galeongirl]

Mine actually has an X over it.

It's censored in America, so most of us have not seen it on purpose, except when scrolling innocently through a page in Interference and then BAM! We have to wash our eyeballs now.

You poor things. I had no idea. Well actually I did, because I saw it in the stores here too as a US import, but the Dutch version is just like that.

Didn't the Canadian have an Irish clover over it or something?

I don't know, but the American one has an upside-down shamrock. I think older copies had an X, but I bought mine in 2002 so it has a shamrock.

Australia got the convicts, Canada got the French, and we got the Puritans.

i actually showed my penis to a bunch of school kids once, of course, i was their classmate at the time. Actually it was more than once, everytime we were in the locker room it happened. It wasnt like i was purposely doing it, everyone was, thats just how it went down.

There was also times when i purposely did it, like at the nekkid parties we used to go to, or on nudie beaches. Or when i used to streak around in the co-ed dorms on campus or the co-ed barracks in the army. Lots of nekkidness on my part. Lots of penis showing, fooling around, end of the world type stuff.

Thats fun to do!

11 years ago someone called Marstoykio on BVS's 2nd favourite forum, Google Groups, said that U2 recorded a XXX rated film with Wim Wenders. They used their video production company (which I've now forgotten the name of) to protect the copyright of the video so that no one will ever be able to see it. Like a gullible twat I believed her.

The movie featured a scene with Bono skinny dipping, Edge without his hat on, Adam in jail with a lizard which transforms into a hermaphrodite women and an amazing scene with Larry which was too shocking for Marstoykio to elaborate further. There's a lot of trippy psychedelic scenes that regularly switch from back & white into colour for no apparent reason. Julia Roberts makes an appearance in a scene with Bono where his a circus coordinator training lions. Julia produces a smoke ring with her cigerrette in which Bono jumps through whilst naked and lands in a large container of sticker gooey marshmallow fluff.

Romantically I like to believe this story and that this video does exist.

 

[BVS]

This is why you don't believe shit you read on Google Groups.

It was very believable upto the point where the Edge took off his hat.

 

[biff]

Not exactly pornography, but does anyone else remember this?

Uri Geller

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah but we never found confirmation that htat happened Biff. I remember searching for it.


Oh and Bono skinnydipping? That really happened, we got photographic evidence of that too.

Never seen your AB booklet before?

Thanks for the uncensored post Galeongirl; first time I've seen it (and it.)

right, mine has the shamrock!

I have worked in Mag Art Depts but never seen any thing as "interesting" as that!

Well, we never found another source, but that particular one (an eye-witness account) is so full of specific detail it's hard to imagine he imagined it.
Unless he's a complete loony....

One thing's certain: I'd pay good money to see that version of "spider" man.

Sounds like somebody was pulling somebody else's leg.

 

[cobl04]

I think he skinnydipped with Fightin' Fintan and a waitress at Bondi Beach as well.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Shit guys, you saying you haven't skinny dipped with Bono? Bro kegs up at my place every fri before we head to that nude beach in the hills.

True that. I guess we'll never know. Would be hillarious though.

Yea it's not the only occasion, just the only one we have pics of.

Please. We all know you downloaded that pic and now have it as your computer desktop image.

To the best of my knowledge, U2 have not granted any interview with Playboy.

I think it's just as well. Some claim John Lennon's last interview with Playboy (where he discusses LSD) is why Lennon was killed. Uh... And those same morons then claim that we are "left with Bono". Gee - those idiots do absolutely nothing, but give shit to Bono because he's out there (RED has caught on more and more) and even Yoko Ono approves. But this is a major digression (venting from other sites). I'm glad there's been no interview. Sometimes too much U2 is bad too.

 

[LemonMelon]

skinny dip with Bono

This seems like a paradox.

 

[Rachel D.]

It wouldn't fit on my desktop.

 

[occlith]

This seems like a paradox.

Or an oxymoron.

If we don't see him totally nude, it's just swimming.
