Sdope to Bono: Take Off Those Fucking Sunglasses Already

Alright Paul “Bono” Hewson, we get it. You’re a big rock star. Your future is so bright, and the new magical AIDS-fighting AMEX card is such a bright shade of red that you have to wear shades.

But c’mon man, let’s get serious for a moment. Your band is getting sick of you playing hypocritical saviour of the huddled masses instead of being an entertainer. It’ll be the reason why U2 breaks up within the next 5 years. You’re also closer to 50 than you are 40, and those shades are going to look even more rediculous when you have to add bi-focal lenses to them.

Just take the damn $1000 shades off once in a while. Hell, why not sell them on ebay and feed a hoarde of children in one of those Sally Struthers countries for a decade?

It’s time to face the awful truth that lending your celebrity to your causes is only achieving two things: Jack and Shit… and Jack is too busy listening to his magical AIDS-fighting ipod to pay any attention.
