what do you think of bono's new findraising Product (Red) project?

What, the one where I have seen adverts for American Express credit cards in red and every time you shop, some small amount goes to charity?

If it is that, it's shit!

But then again, if it has that egocentric bastard making another sad attempt to promote himself as some fucking messiah, anything to do with the dickhead Bono is shit!

If bono used half the enthusiasm he has to market himself on explaining his ideals then the world might be better off for knowing him

everytime you buy a special (Red) product such as a red ipod, pair of chucks, cell phone or credit card, a portion of the proceeds go to charity.

Oh yeah... That's coming leaps and bounds in the fight against poverty. Fuck it, I'll stop preaching leftist beliefs and buy a stupid fucking tool of capitalism. That'll sort it. BOLLOCKS!!!!
I can't stick St Bono or any other jumped up pseudo-humanitarian popstar. You must remeber: he's filthy rich. It's just some feel good shite aimed at making people buy more. Beware of capitalism making its enemies marketable. They did it to the hippies, they did it to the punks, they did it to Che. It's just a ploy to remove their validity; so PICK UP YA RIFLE AND AIM IT AT BONO FIRST!!!

It's no different from what other countries are doing by pledging a certain portion of profit from a product to charity. I don't see what the hubbub is about.

Come the revolution, I want to be the one given the opportunity to shoot Bono.
