What's the assassination probability for this job?

And the award for the "Celebrity who needs a couple of reminders of what their fucking DAY JOB is supposed to be" goes to... BONO! Hey, big surprise Mr. Sunglasses At Night For Real. You also get the award for "Celebrity with the biggest ego in the business" and "Celebrity who most often confuses themselves with God". Hey, congratulations. Now get a fucking clue.

Fine. I'll just try to formulate a plan that would liquidate every single member of the music press who has a hard-on for U2. Bye-bye, Rolling Stone magazine. Sayonara, Spin. Adios, Entertainment Weekly. Anyone else? Hm, maybe Q magazine too. Yeah. Total, complete annhiliation. Goodbye, losers. Anyone else want to be liquidated?

While I think its a daft idea, it should be noted if one reads the article (or others as I had already) that this isnt going to happen - it was an idea some dick at the LA Times came up with as a "hey wouldn't this be great!" thing:

Friday, the Los Angeles Times devoted its lead editorial to the proposition that Bono, the Irish frontman of rock band U2, "should be named the next president of the World Bank."

*adds the editorial board of the L.A. Times to the "liquidation" list*

hence the title of the thread.

Hi Dee

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 15:52 (twenty years ago)

Dude did Bono kill someone's cat?

― Allyzay Dallas Multi-Pass (allyzay), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:10 (twenty years ago)

Who cares either way? He does or he doesn't — the guy never did anything to me. At least he's spending his time/money on stuff that helps other people — unlike Jennifer Lopez, who had 200 pounds of Swarovski crystals specially flown in... to throw on the catwalk of her fashion show for models to WALK ON. WTF

― sugarpants (sugarpants), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:28 (twenty years ago)

I witnessed Bono's pitbull killing several cats, actually.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

I like that Dee gets all angry and sweary about Bono.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Simon LeBon should be the one to get the iPod dap while U2 get laughed at for making awful tribute albums

― Stupornaut (natepatrin), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

SEE THE OMEGA CODE
