[phommel]

Look what i found on the internet. what do we think about this? seems that some people are annoyed by Bono doing this DATA/poverty thing? Or is it just a joke?

That's so distasteful - certainly doesn't look like a joke to me. Sad thing is, there are people out there who will buy something like that.

And even more sad than that is the fact that those people think that they're being funny, when really, they're just adding to the problem that Bono is trying to fight.

Well this is from a site with such tasteful products as "Gothic Stuff" (come on, gothic people are worthless), "Hemp Clothing," "Sex Toys," "Rude Gifts," "Stag/Hen Night Stuff,"Fake ID's," and "Cannbis Seeds."

and most of their other shirts suck too.

So, it doesn't really surprise me. But I would punch someone in the face if they had on that shirt.

You're kidding about that, right?

I've been part of goth culture (obviously not the violent sector/kind that makes headlines) for over 10 years now and so are other Interferencers.

I don't think it's anything to get worked up about.

I don't think it's anything to get worked up about.

i think you underestimate U2 fans, we can get worked up about anything

 

[RademR]

it's not that bad, think its pretty funny actually. if Bono saw it, he would probably laugh.

On Popmart, didnt he grab a guy who was wearing a KILL BONO or FUCK BONO shirt or something like that. He took his shirt and wore it for a song. something like that....

no big deal.

That's not cool.

Anyway, it's just a shirt. I seriously doubt it has any impact on what Bono is trying to do.

 

[XHendrix24]

I, for one, think it's pretty funny.

 

[BonosBaby12]

I have a friend who is into the gothic thing and she's one of the nicest people you can meet. As for the shirt you just have to take it with a grain of salt. Who knows Bono would probably laugh about it! lol. I don't think they are undermining his efforts look at how much progress he has made!

 

[u2wedge]

C'mon guys lighten up... it's a parody!

 

[Utoo]

C'mon guys lighten up... it's a parody!

I know someone who lightened up at parodies for 10 years and he was the nicest guy!

 

[gareth brown]

why all the moaning? it's only a joke.

though I'd sooner have 'Make Doherty History'

Ugh, that guy doesn't need any more attention.

 

[gareth brown]

hence the shirt...

 

[corianderstem]

Well yes, but I wouldn't even allow myself to type his name on the internet, much less wear a shirt with his name.

 

[indra]

I laughed.

Aren't you quite the arbiter of good taste and tolerance?

 

[Val]

I love Bono and think the shirt is funny! Hating goth people is not! Dishing any group of people is a waste of time and energy. Make love, not war!

 

[david]

remember the "Kill Bono" shirts from the early 90's that came about after the fiasco with SST records and Negativland?

 

[Hemlock]

"I'm sick of Bono, and I am Bono."

Seems even the man in question is in the t-shirt slogan business.

 

[lmjhitman]

(come on, gothic people are worthless)

i can't even begin to tell you how completely unnecessary, and just plain fucking rude that is.

 

[{paintedroses}]

I'd wear the T shirt! For the pure irony

Speaking of irony, I'm not convinced that AtomicBono was being 100% serious on that gothic comment ..

I'd buy that shirt!

 

[menelaos]

I 'm going to make one of these..!!!!

So funny..!!!!

I hope she wasn't (I'd hate for her to think I or anyone else were worthless.)

 

[U2girl]

Bono makes history (with or without U2).

Making slogans like that says more about the shirt-makers than him anyway.

 

[MrBrau1]

The only really worthless music fans are fans of "new" country.

 

[MsGiggles]

I think it's quite funny actually....Bono's not the only celeb these people joke about....

 

[BEVERLY56]

I hate people who hate other people that they don't even know.
