Are U2 now employees of the BBC?

[stavros]

Wossy's had Morrisey and The Cure on in the last two weeks, and then he goes and spoils it by having Nobo and his three fellow tax-dodging twats on.

 

[rhod]

Quite right. There's no need for that sort of language.

There's no pressing need for Bono, either.

That's like Hitler calling Donald Rumsfeld 'a bit of a fascist'.

Has nobody at the beeb had the guts to point out that U2's new single is the biggest steaming pile of sewage even U2 themselves have ever come up with? The Star Wars prequel trilogy is mentioned elsewhere as having recieved mahoosive BBC publicity, perhaps the reasoning was the same there. Our product is a load of old shite so we'd better hand the impartial BBC a backhander the size of Cleethorpes to drown everyone's brain in it until just giving up is the only option left to them.

The fact that Jonathon Ross exists for no other purpose than to plug crap produced by washed up actors and dull arse musicians at a supposedly noncommercial station is one of the main reasons he should be shot. This just in BBC; not all the interesting people in the world are in the entertainment industry. Let's maybe hear from some scientists, writers, artists and thinkers once in while shall we? And let's have someone with a brain and/or a personality of some description interviewing them.

Popular beat combo in 'promoting new album' shocker

Public service broadcaster in 'broadcasting stuff of interest to a lot of people' shocker.

Yeah U2 are shit but you know, never mind eh

What they seem to have missed, however, is the fact that many people don't give a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut for the 'popular beat combo' you refer to and would rather that they weren't saturating several different publically-funded broadcast media with the asinine caterwualings of the aforesaid shower of cunts.

I blame Eno.

well yeah but I doubt there's anything sinister about it. I don't give a fuck about an awful lot of stuff that saturates the BBC, that's why I don't really use it other than the website

I noticed The Observer radio review yesterday had the headline 'Bono Broadcasting Corporation'

 

[electrogirl]

Their single only got to number 12. HA

 

[Sadken]

No, they're just a bunch of wankers.
