"Why does everyone hate Bono?"

[TWOCHOICEStom]

A question just asked to me by my girlfriend. But how do you even begin to explain this without just saying "He's a prize cock".

So if you hate Bono, try to explain why that is for me....

 

[Beach Hut]

I don't as he has done a load of voluntary work on famine relief - top man in my opinion

 

[Meade's Ball]

The smugness. He's probably a nice bloke, but he doesn't half look like he's winking at me over an expert wank he just had and is allowed to live in a world where wanking is permitted at any time and place he fancies. Whilst i, of course, have to hide my methods and am made to simply feel dirty.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Let me state quite clearly at the outset that I don't punch people.

But Bono has one of those faces you just want to punch really, really hard. I think its the stupid ever-present wrap-around glasses that I imagine he even wears in the bath, mowing the lawn, watching the One Show and wiring a plug. I really wish he'd lose the glasses - yes Bono, we'd all still know its you.

He's a dude. Problem is he is also very vain, so doesn't fit well with the good work he actually does, and that gets people's backs up.

 

[Stinky Pete]

Anyone who wears shades at night or indoors is a cock

 

[Muzzman]

The smugness. He's probably a nice bloke, but he doesn't half look like he's winking at me over an expert wank he just had and is allowed to live in a world where wanking is permitted at any time and place he fancies. Whilst i, of course, have to hide my methods and am made to simply feel dirty.

This.

Bono was onstage in Glasgow, he starts speaking to the mike and clapping his hands very slowly above his head "Every toime oi clap me hands, a choild dies in Africa" says Bono

"Well then, stop clapping your f***ing hands then you ****" says a fella in the crowd

Thank you xenophon : for your avatar , and one of my favourite anecdotes .

Tax evading hypocritical moany lecturing bollox.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Everytime Bono clicks his fingers...









...U2 are tax dodging and an Irish child goes without healthcare, education and welfare support.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

She's even more confused now! That hands thing just went WHOOOOOOSH!!... Short bullet points would be better. Thank you please.

I don't know anyone that does.

Strange using the words "everyone" and "hate".
Reserve hate for someone evil, or who has hurt your family.

Sounds like typical British spite and envy of the successful.

 

[Albumen]

Because he's a 50 someodd old man in a pair of leather trousers doing 'sexy' moves to a load of strangers. He's a grade A cock.

Tax evading hypocritical moany lecturing bollox.

As seen at Glastonbury.

 

[Eric Potts]

But for gods sake they are a bit of a dull band , and he is a self important tw*t

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

U2 were superb in the early days and their albums got better and better but after the Joshua tree it starting going down hill for me.

 

[beorhthelm]

The smugness.

thats a large part of it, though to be fair after a generation of people venerating him, its not really his fault. another large part is its cool to dislike people who are rich and famous.

and theres the thing were he could just give up his entire fortune to good causes, rather than ask everyone else to dip in their pockets first.

This, plus the awful soulessness of U2's music and the fact that I blame Bono for Chris Martin.
