So I was cavorting with some fellow lovers of Leader of the Free World Bono™ on the DigitalSpy forums when I came across a few Bono themed gags that I felt I had to share.

‘Ryan_Gray’ gave us:

Q: What’s the difference between Bono and God?

A: God doesnt walk down the street thinking he’s Bono

And ‘Reaperville’ quickly shot back with:

Q: How many members of U2 does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: Just one. Bono holds it and the world revolves around him.

Both of which gave me a chuckle.

Ready to laugh at Bono?

Actually, I’m assuming that if you’re here then there’s a good chance that you are. I found a delightful little video on YouTube featuring a backwards-strutting Bono doing some backwards-falling.

What’s that I hear you say? “I’d pay to see that”? No need my fellow haters. Giggle away.

One of my favourite sites (The A.V. Club, sister site to the hilarious faux-news site The Onion) has posted one of their lists entitled “Tonight, thank God it’s them instead of you: 16 morally dubious holiday entertainments“.

Guess who came up Numero Uno on their list of misguided attempts at humanity?

Yep. Bono’s performance in the horrifying Band-Aid charity song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?“.

There’s plenty of lyrical bullshit in this charity cavalcade of British pop stars—do the starving children in Africa really care if it’s Christmas, or where it’s snowing?—but the most egregious line comes from Bono, who should’ve thought twice before belting out this horrible, horrible lyric: “Well tonight, thank God it’s them instead of you!” Seriously, Bono? We know you didn’t write it, but if you’re just screaming at the sky anyway, a sentiment more along the lines of, “Tonight, let’s pray that nobody is starving” would’ve been much, much better.

And for those of you with strong stomachs, here’s the vid.

I stumbled across a charming little site named www.stuffireallyhate.com.

As you can see from the subtle graphic I’ve placed above us, there’s a listing under ‘B’ for our man and 13,226 people agreed as of today.

Well, 13,227 now that I’ve seen it.
