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.

It’s almost too much to bear isn’t it!
Bono, Bob and Sting all in one music video (I daren’t call it a song, more of a commercial really…)
Just leave Simon Le Bon out of it ok, Duran Duran are cool!
Hey, you’ll never catch me dissing the guys that gave the world “Notorious” and “Girls on Film“!
Sting, on the other hand can go fuck himself in the same self-satisfying group-wank that Bono and Geldof are undoubtedly having right now.
Duran Duran are cool?
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
FUCK Simon Lebon(ese lady-boy)!
Mullets & Trannies everywhere!
Think of the combined wealth in that fucking studio, while it might not have been able to ’save the world’, it could have saved many many lives.Fact.
What the fuck was Weller doing there?I suppose he was giving that whole trendy style council wanker thing a go.lame as fuck.
One positive thought from it all though………………………………boner- bob getsoff-sting-simon lebanese lady-boy-quo e.t.c. ……………………….would have been a well placed bomb.
aaaaaaaaahhhhhh………….
