Bono & U2: Abho(RED) By So Many Thoughtful People Print E-mail
Tuesday, 31 July 2007
 
Let's get a couple things out of the way. The members of U2 are quite talented. Talented marketers, businessmen, team members. The also posess a fair amount of musical talent. They know how to hire the best, produce shimmering collections of songs, and market them as the last true band, the last band that matters.
 
The fact is that their sound is largely the creation of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. Their greatest songs are mostly Eno songs, Daniel Lanois songs. No matter. Poetic pop constructs ... perfectly mixed mastered and printed ... puffery pings the Zeitgeist ... but that's not enough for Bono.
 
Poor Bono wants a Nobel, or a Pulitzer. He won't say it out loud. But this hustler recognizes that world-class hustler's game, and if I didn't find him such an ass, I would tip my hat.
 
He and Oprah have come up with Project(RED), whereby consumers consume and a portion of the profits (not the gross) are donated to African AIDS charities. Approximately $100 Million has been spent by huge corporations for advertising, plastering Bono's face all over the world, at their expense. As the British say,"Brilliant!"
 
marie_international_wig So far they've raised perhaps $25 million for charity from sales generated by that $100 Million marketing campaign. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
 
Okay, after the jump. The story that demonstrates to me that U2 are the most self-important ... uh ... dickwads on earth, and, as such, sit at the same table with Sting and his god-awful horse-faced wife. 
 
But before you go, please note this picture of  Bono with Dr. Gupta, the man the Bush administration has sent out to trash Michael Moore and his movie Sicko. Bono cavorts with Bush. What else do you need to know?

The Ten Things You Don't Know About Britney Spears' Vagina Print E-mail

3disgraceslo "Britney, Lindsay and Paris: The Three Disgraces" by 14.

14, as she is known, is the creative force of one of my favorite sites, Gallery of the Absurd. Simply amazing, hilarious ... a treasure on the internets.

14 writes:

"La Primavera is one of Sandro Botticelli's best known paintings. The angelic figures shown in this ethereal work of art all represent mythological characters. While viewing this painting at the Uffizi, my eyes were drawn to the fluid movement and delicate beauty of the Three Graces. According to Greek mythology, the Three Graces represent beauty, charm and joy. Contemporary mythological characters such as Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are the antithesis of grace. This makes them the Three Disgraces. They represent sleaze, trash, and desperate cry for attention. What makes these women think we want to see high resolution photos of their bald, flabby, and in Britney's case, Kevin Federline-infected genitalia?"

now what you've all been waiting for:
