MERGED--> Edge, Larry, Adam should be ashamed

[TripThroughWire]

Ok, there's 2 people I am still worried about...

The two of you, if you know what the deal is and you are just being sarcastic, please post this smilie

Otherwise, I am going on an underground bunker and never coming out again....

You are welcome.

But don't try to change the topic of this thread: from that paper, there's obviously a problem supporting such a band. So the question is: what we, fan, should do ?

A fan action at the next concert ?
Sell our ticket and donate the money to Bono's "Dig Holes for Africans" campain ? (not sure of the name).

I'm not sure. I think maybe we should all get together and make a sign that says, "I HATE LARRY MULLEN, EDGE, and ADAM CLAYTON BECAUSE THEY WANT AFRICANS TO DIE".

Wristbands that say, "Edge, Larry, Adam should be ashamed" could work too.

Its all about awareness, people.

ok.....do we follow that you are following the context of the Onion article...in which case perhaps this thread probably should be moved to EYKIW...

OR
(and sorry if Im being mean, but your last comment was quite ignorant)

is, as noted in other threads, your command of the English language is such that you dont recognize SATIRE???

Well let me put it to you plainly: this piece is SATIRE, PURE FICTION

And Bono's "campain" is not entitled "Dig Holes for Africans" - unless you are trying to be funny I think it is very disturbing that you don't even know the proper name and would post such a grossly disrespectful name for it...damn!

Sit down during Streets when the african flags are displayed ?

Apparently its LEA (larry, edge, adam) that should be sitting.

the worst part is, there are people here that think what this article is expressing

Obviously the name i chose was a bit ... strong. I apologize, but I thought it was in the spirit of the thread.
Sorry ...

 

[gvox]

Are you part of the joke tho? Thats what Im worried about...

But yes, some jokes are in worse taste than others...

"When Bono starts telling the audience how messed up the world can be and how we should work together to make things better, I usually just zone out," Mullen said.


okay so this part may have a little truth in it

Come to think of it I zone out some times too while he's talking.

He's a drummer -- zoning out is part of the deal.

 

[kellyahern]

best
thread
ever

Next to the "Bono and Adam should kiss more" thread of course

 

[LyricalDrug]

best thread ever

 

[U2SavesTheWorld]

Next to the "Bono and Adam should kiss more" thread of course

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. There can only be one best thread ever and this one wins.



Edit:




I'm ordering wristbands that say, "Edge, Larry, Adam should be ashamed".

What color?

 

[Carek1230]

I don't believe the article or the quotes. I think it is funny that some people do and that some people would even be upset!

 

[Utoo]

What color?

The color of SHAME!!!

 

[U2bpbear24]

 

[financeguy]

Dude, The Onion used to be much funnier.

I agree.

 

[nurse chrissi]

Remember the Onion article from a few years back that was a list of ways Bono was becoming more messianic or something, and the best one was something about how "before the cock crows, The Edge will betray him three times."

this one?

 

[Val]

Bono and Adam should kiss more.

 

[TripThroughWire]

Bono and Adam should kiss more.

That's disgusting !!!

 

[U2SavesTheWorld]

Larry should cut his mudflaps.

 

[corianderstem]

That's the one, Nurse Chrissi! I love that.

 

[Utoo]

this one?

Quality stuff!

 

[Canadiens1131]

5 star thread
Will read again

 

[Edgette]

I was wondering if someone would actually question this.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Man, this thread is about a thousand times funnier than the actual article. Thank you, ZooMacPhisto800, for turning a shitty day into a hilarious one.

 

[Swingn2thaMusic]

this thread made my day!

 

[U2SavesTheWorld]

Its just so good

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Okay, I actually laughed out loud at this thread.
It just kept getting better and better. (the people who played clueless and those who bought into the cluelessness = classic)
