I dunno. Yeah AI is kind of lame (and yeah I do watch it, sue me). I think people have to understand that the Bono of the 80s who went around painting statues, cussing on stage, and openly calling out governors in the states he played in is gone. Yeah 80s Bono was cool as hell, no argument there...but the kind of people who have millions of dollars who might be willing to give said dollars to something like ONE aren't going to respond to that guy. So he does stuff like this, for the good of others.
I was thinking about it a bit...and I realized that Bono himself probably realizes that AI is lame, but he does it anyway. And he doesn't get anything out of it, so you can't really call him a sellout. It just seems like he figures this is the way to do the most good for what he believes in. So he does it. Not sure about everyone else but I'm willing to cut him some slack.
