The Dutch Mafia has been guarding this secret for a while, but I’m going to share it with you. We were planning on trying to keep this whole thing quiet for a while longer, but it turns out YouTube is letting every cat out of every bag everywhere.
So here it is: Bono is a wanker.
A couple things strike me in the first minute and a half of this video.
- Bono is a wanker
- “We’re making a DVD”. Really? Right now? Aren’t you making a video that you will distribute on DVD? Or is Adam Clayton sitting in the corner busily cranking out a single, blank DVD out of raw materials? If so, that sounds cooler than listening to Bono ramble on about Italy and films and stained-glass windows.
- Why is he talking like William Shatner? “Thank you…for…being a part of…the FILM…we’re making…TONIGHT.”
- Why does he raise his arms when he says “little film”? Is he trying to hex the audience? Appear taller than he is? What?
- We’ve established that U2 is playing in Milan. Why does he say “Excuse moi”? Last I heard, this guy was bouncing around the world explaining to everyone how we all need to spread western wealth and medicine to under-developed areas of the world. A noble cause, but I would think a guy who knows so much about what the world needs would know that Italians don’t speak French
