Is this a joke, or a bad dream?
Please.
Please.
i often write as ted connors, and i found this piece in the back of my mind for a few days and finally found some time to write it this morning.
Shut This Thread Now as it a Hoax

Bollocks man, it'll be brilliant, it always is with U2.
You should have let it go on for a while! The reactions have been hysterical.
no it's not.
it's bullshit.
big difference. someone asked who ted connors was, and i said it was me. i've written as him for ages.
ok so this is a hoax? can i go to bed and sleep peacefully?
i know, but there'll still be loads of people who read this from the start.
it's a fine line... if i go too far then the thread gets closed straight away.
i made this thread because i'm quite curious about the new album, and i sort of wanted to write all the things that i most wanted NOT to hear.
I'm going to assume here that you haven't heard ATYCLB.
I think the best part are the people defending the original post as not being a bad thing.
Dammit, Zoomers, you should have kept it going. It would have been great to see people squirm over this all day long. I smelled bullshit from the second I saw the thread and now I regret asking you about Tedd Connors. Oh well.
I can't believe you all fell for this.
I believed the article for about ... the first quarter.
Problem is the quotes don't seem credible, that gave it away.
I actually don't think it's very funny to come here with a fake article and cause a stir.
You guys should have a little more trust in U2 and not automatically jump to any conclusions so quickly. The insecurity of some people here in regards to u2 is just sad.
Yeah, I actually wasn't sure (although extremely skeptical about the Africa part--thought perhaps it was taken out of context) until the end about the grammy's and then I knew it had to be a joke. I think if you had made that part a little more subtle, everyone would have fallen for it.
thanks... just curious though, can you be a bit more specific about the quotes not being credible enough?
fair enough. thanks.
