Cheap Publicity Stunts Marks Decline of Irish Singer's Illustrious Career

Haven't had enough of mainstream media bullshit? Check the cover of (out of) Time Magazine. Earth shattering news: BoNoVoice BoNoHair to Save World! Mighty generous of a boring as a dog's ass guy who can't even save his own voice or hair.

Should we give him a dog biscuit as a reward. Does someone need a Grammy real badly, or what? There is something sad and pathetic when an artist like Bono, who has had an illustrious career, havs to resort to cheap and demeaning publicity stunts to revitalize his declining musical career.

Maybe he should go to a hair dresser and get a professional dye and hair plug job. Since he doesn't want anyone to know that his hair is a disaster, he probably does it himself, thus the unprofessional and transparent job.

Drop the Debt: Oh yeah! The 12 year old kiddies (the majority of today's U2 fan base) who follow U2 really give a shit about this one. Let's have the lower and middle class continue to pay for everyone elses fuck ups. Remember, people like BonoVoice, who are in the super rich category, do not pay shit in taxes due to loopholes.

Perfect issue for our boy. Pretend you are doing something honorable, when in fact, he is using this issue to screw the middle and lower class out of more money. This is right in line with the unethcial corporate interests he and his band so wonderfully represent.

Is anyone going to forget about my debt for my house mortgage? Hey rich arshole, for your information, if I don't pay my mortgage, my family is on the street because the bank I work with does not forgive loans. "Don't believe in riches, but you should see where I live."

As for the American flag issue, why doesn't BoNoPatriot leave it to the American artists to promote patriotism, like Jon Bon Jovi did in a very classy way (something Bono apparently knows nothing about) during the closing ceremonies of the Salt Lake Winter Olympic games.

It is fine to use the American flag spontaneously, such as to wrap it around you during a performance on stage. When you premeditate to sew the American flag on the inner lining of your jacket in order to incorporate it into your performance for a cheap patriotic publicity stunt - over and over and over again - you are intentionally defacing the flag for your own personal profit.

It is fine for Bono to think the American public is ignorant, as he is entitled to his opinion. However, to intentionally insult the American people, and give the false illusion you are as patriotic as Paul Revere while fattening your wallet at the same - well, that's a bit much for us to swallow.

You know what fucks up this world? A bunch of greedy rich dirtbags (like Bono and his buddies) destroying music culture and exploiting the fan for their own greedy self-interests.

Suggestion: let's work on your hair, voice, concert prices and Ireland's terrorism issues first - then we'll work on the world.

Since you're at it, how about also working on saving the rock industry. In case you didn't notice, this RadioHead, REM and Oasis bullshit you were so big on last year ain't cutting the mustard. Big surprise there.

Dre of Outkast: "They will give U2 the Grammy because they are at the end of their rope."

That's funny. I thought U2 were on a freefall without a parachute going down to the pop band junkyard hall of shame. Hence, Bono reaching into his bag of tricks for the quick sell.

We'd like to dedicate the inner lining of the BonoVoice jacket to the USA hockey team.

There's only 1 hockey team and there's only 1 Olympic Gold medal and in only 1 country. Oh, Canada!

Sing it - "On your knees boy."
