Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" Choice for 2002

[PsychoSkitz]

Do you realize how much attention Bono has brought to these issues which are destroying countries? Do you realize how much money has been brought in because he's involved?

And the statement that Bono doesn't give money is plain wrong. He's done several things in which all proceeds go to these causes. For an artist that is going straight into their pockets and giving money. Would you do your job for free for a year to bring attention to a cause you believed in? Yes, he's already rich but who else has done what he's done.

>>It seems wherever you look, TV, radio or newspaper, someone's talking about yet another campaign Bono's working on. As an active supporter of Greenpeace, Bono has been seen on the sandy beach of Seascale, Cumbria, UK, staging an anti-nuclear protest. In '95 Bono was joined by Pavarotti and released the Passengers Soundtrack, for the benefit of the War Child charity and the Cradle Foundation. Of particular interest is the song Miss Sarejevo which is about a beauty contest during the war in Bosnia. Contestants in the video, which was smuggled out of the country, held up signs pleading for help. After things calmed down, U2 returned and gave an free concert in Sarejevo. The band also gave a surprise free concert in Ireland. In support of AIDS, U2 sang on the album Red Hot & Blue. The band has also done several other concerts in support of a variety of campaigns including Live AID, Net Aid, Self Aid, War Child and The Big One, a peace concert. Bono also had a big part (Big Part? it was his idea!) in organizing the tribute song What's Going On which was originally done to benefit AIDS, but was modified so that some of the proceeds also benefit the Sept. 11th Fund. Some of us only joke about doing something to improve the world, while others obviously do something. <<

Bono's helping save lives. Whistleblowers helped save money. Bush helped start wars. Who should get it?

Is there a "Woman of the year" ?

yeah, the feminist rag 'Ms Magazine' has that award. they named nancy pelosi, the whistle blowers, and martha burke all 'women of the year.' you know, any women that gave 'the big fuck you' to men in public.

please, bono is so fucking transparent. do you not seem to notice that all of this shit he does is in the media spotlight to bring attention to himself and his stupid, shitty band. wow, he runs around africa with the former labor secretary talking to aids patients on fucking mtv. whoop-dee-fucking-do!

stop the fucking presses people! bono is on mtv promising to give away your money to aids patients in africa without your permission or the authority to do so!

as if america isnt already doing enough to help that god forsaken place. what do you want them to do? personally go over and put condoms on the dicks of these people who think birth control is a 'trick by the whities to keep the numbers down' (as mandella so eloquently put)?

and bush doesnt "start wars", he fixes the problems left behind from former administrations...mostly the ones left during clinton's 8 year reign of terror.

what about people like the new senate majority leader, bill frist. that guy has been flying to africa on his own dime, performing surgeries on aids stricken africans on his own dime, and he managed to do it all without fucking J lo or Kurt Loder and the rest of the fucking mtv crew there to suck on his knob and tell him what a great humanitarian he is. he personally has done more for aids infected africans than a washed up, no talent hack like bono ever will.

So, by your math Bush should do all of his ridiculous "axis of evil, war on terror" press conferences behind closed doors, off of TV.

Then you go and blame Clinton. Were you too blind to realize that there were no major problems while Clinton was President? Oh, he must've lucked out...

back in the eighties Bono and clayton came through Birmingham,ala..they got up on the stage and sang/played with the band..later on I got into a fracus with bono as I was harrassing him and generally fucking with him(he is a short and petite little prick)..I think the little shit took a swing at me(I was drunk and coked up)..anyhow they threw me out(and I was a club regular)...amongst the local punk rockers I was a hero..to this day I still occassionally hear about my altercation with the international rock star
