I also thought The Onion's dig at Bono's Time Magazine cover was good...even though I really liked that TIME magazine. I can't find it in the archives, but here it is:
"Called Rock's Conscience, U2 frontman and political crusader Bono has met with everyone from Kofi Annan to Colin Powell. What has he been doing recently?
Tirelessly dedicating self to ending Third World debt, no matter how many magazine covers he must appear on in the process.
Restoring humanity's faith in the power and the promise and the possibility of rock and roll.
Feeding starving Somalis by dividing single loaf into many.
Defeating Bruce Springsteen in epic, five-hour earnest-off.
Vowing to lobby Congress for African aid on progressively larger Jumbotrons until demands are met.
Shouldering the burdens of a post September 11th world/Buying another pair of blue-tinted, wrap around shades.
Revealing that The Edge will betray him three times before the cock crows.
Thinking about writing song about deliverance and redemption; also maybe one about transcendance."
