The actual raping and dying and crimes weren't a problem as much as the image issues, I guess. Reply

Also, I wonder if one of the stipulations made by Mrs. O and her people was the absence of inane coverlines surrounding her image. There's nothing about a Secret Sex Spot or Boobs!! or Sex Slavery Escapees. Refreshing. #michelleobamaglamourcover Reply

Giz complaining about the comments is indeed rich, when untold hundreds of quality commenters are driven off by intransparant rules and cronyism. #comments Reply

They're not The Beatles. Period. There are very, very few bands which will ever get that sort of game devoted to them, and while I don't have a problem with U2, they certainly aren't even in the same hemisphere as The Beatles. Reply

Gardasil will save the lives of millions more women in the Third World than in the First World, and, in fact, it was developed WITH THAT IN MIND.
Does that make you feel better? Reply

I mean just because you hate Howard Stringer does it mean you won't buy Sony? Reply

Ever since that episode aired, U2 hate has been through the roof. After all, who needs original thought when the TV can tell you what to think? All that time that could have been wasted thinking is now free to be spent on pounding the keyboard and hoping words come out.
This doesn't apply to everybody, of course. Some legitimately hate their music, and that's all well and good. I like one song of theirs, but the rest just doesn't do it for me. Reply

I did read Chuck Klosterman's article on Bono a while back, and the part that sticks in my head is when Bono picks up 3 random young kids and drives them to their destination. The kids are blown away that they've just been given a ride by Bono, and he's just so cool and they love U2. But then Klosterman writes that it's as if he's doing it for himself and because he is furthering his concept of "Bono," not because he's a genuinely great person. Or something to that effect.
But anyway, I dislike U2 because they are severely overrated, record sales aside. Lots of people buy shit music, and that perpetuates the existence of shit music. Of course that's one person's opinion.
They were here in Atlanta last night and some $30 tickets popped up two days ago. I would've bought them only to see Muse, who is amazing (or was, before they got all this Twilight attention). Reply

But if Klosterman is correct, I'll gladly stand behind even the brain-dead "Bono is suck 'cause the picture cube told me so!" crowd. I despise people who pretend to be philanthropists just to get more time in the spotlight. It's an insult to the needy, an insult to the fans, and an insult to those who really do care. Musical talent be damned. Reply

By that rationale, pretty much anyone that does anything nice for someone ever is doing it to make themselves look better.

@xgaxxkyhron13: Muse is a great band, and they have been for some time. However, their new album is a mere shadow of what they used to be, and I'm attributing it to the Twilight attention. Of course I could be wrong, but that's my opinion. As played out as it is, it seems as if they've "sold out." I know, I hate the phrase too, but it's what fits.
@TeXavier: I'm not hating on them, I'm just saying their stuff since Twilight has gone a little soft. I haven't really changed the fact I love their music, I just wasn't too happy with the newest record.
@Michael Combs: Having more people love one band than another in 10 years is totally irrelevant to the fact that I do not like U2. Lots of great bands don't get a lot of love, does that mean they're sucky just because they don't have 12 songs on the radio? What a stupid way to measure musical greatness. Reply

In any event, everyone should go out and buy a Jean Grae album right now. Reply
