Bono's bogus charity
 
Pretentious, talentless Bono's charity has been condemned for donating only a fraction of its income to charity.

The non-profit One campaign received almost £9.6million in donations in 2008 but handed over only £118,000 to good causes.

:nono:

Pretentious - yes. Talentless - come on.

And yeah, a source would be helpful.

I agree with what you're saying though (as much as I hate to admit) calling him talentless is just plain stupid.

That's a bloody disgrace. Always knew he was a total moron but nah, you can't slag him off over his musical ability though.

I honestly can't stand the man, when they played last year I got offered tickets for free and turned them down, i'd rather watch paint dry......and for all his moaning about giving to charity and this comes out, you kind of just think **** off....LOL

Oh, I've never been a fan of U2. Never. But what a fecking idiot. His photos with all the major world leaders were obviously meaningless exposure opportunities for the publicity *****, but sure I always thought as much really. Seriously, this is so bad.

Bono is the only person I could say disappeared up his own arse at birth.

I didn't expect he could do anything this bad though.

Here is the New York Post article for anybody interested.

What a prize idiot. I've never liked him or U2, completely overrated and egotistical. Really, they're just a generic stadium band really. Big anthemic but ultimately forgettable songs. I'd say there's only really a handful of decent songs they've done and they've ridden on the back of them for years.

The story's a disgrace and so is he, hypocritical old fool.
