Is this Bono concert story true?

Bad U2 joke = Lock and ban.

This thread is now about Warren Zevon's 'Werewolves of London'.

Ahhh-oooooooooh.

I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.

His hair was perfect!

Ahh-hoooooo!

It could happen but its not remotely funny. Probably just some piss tank in the front row that had 1 too many beers.

Making a joke out of thousands of people dying every month of AIDS is not funny. How many people here watched that special report on CNN last night with Christiane Amanpoure, this is not something to be made fun of.

It is, actually. Please refer to the thread's first post. FUCKING HILARIOUS. If we can't laugh about it, then we've already lost.

I laughed.

 

[Yahweh]

I really dont see whats funny about that.

 

[LemonMelon]

Meh, that's fake. Pretty funny in a sick kind of way, but still funny.

 

[Dutch Partygirl]

Well, if it is true, it doesn't surprise me that it was in Dublin. Typical Dublin humor that...

Okay, I know that was probably out of line, but I couldn't resist.

i highly doubt it's true... one would think we would have heard about it at the time, no?

but if it were true... i would have LOLed

i highly doubt it's true... one would think we would have heard about it at the time, no?

especially since there are like 9 bootlegs to every show this tour

 

[coolian2]

I thought it was funny.


Very funny infact, i'll probably be repeating it a few times.

I have already lost. A lot of times. Every time I clap my hands I have lost yet again for failure to laugh

I laughed too. Not at the idea of millions of people dying, just at the irony in the wording. That's all jokes are, really. Interesting and imaginative twists of language. Try not to focus too much on the content. Do you know what's terribly un-funny? Oversensitivity.

Ever since the comment in question had initially been posted, I'd been trying to think of an appropriate response.

But GibsonGirl has said it for me, so now I no longer have to lie awake in bed thinking about it.
