Another reason to hate U2

I hate U2. If you know me, you probably know this. I hate their stupid songs. I hate their stupid hair. I hate their stupid guitar player and his stupid name, The Edge. I hate that the proper way to write "The Edge" is with a capital T.

I hate their stupid supposed commitments to human rights and the environment. What is more wasteful than a CD and its packaging? Or flying on a tour on a private jet, or the ridiculous light show that you put on every show. Or your stupid "Product Red" consumerism campaign which only a small portion of the profit goes to the Global Fund. Or the fact that you include the Gap in this campaign which is notorious for sweatshop use.

I also hate that stupid guy that gets paid to look like Bono. Also I hate the word Bono.

Well now U2 is blaming Deadheads and Hippies for "destroying the music industry," in reference to the fact that they do not make money from illegal downloads. Why don't you try writing a good song or be happy with the money you already have.

I hate U2. End of rant.
