quite odd, but quite sweet.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/twitter/7921650/Kanye-West-joins-Twitter-but-only-follows-man-from-Coventry.html

a publicity stunt?
a commentary on the power of twitter?

without being cynical about the whole thing, it made me smile. :)

    I think Kanye West has lost the plot completely, I think the guys's funny though cos' he's such a mental.

    It's always hard to work out what he'll do next or if he's even being serious?

    Aye I wish those bastards would get their hands in their own pockets instead of guilt tripping people into sponsoring foreign orphans.

    Yes I'm looking at you Nobbo!*

    I hope this was a bad joke, that was so wrong and disgusting. You prefer a world lacking people who believe in fairness and stand up against human rights abuse ...?

    Crucifixion was a particularly barbaric punishment where the person would be asphyxiated slowly and painfully. (they wouldn't be able to pull up from where they are hanging in order to breathe, without destroying their already nailed wrists)

    Well that's why I want to see him crucified- he'd never be able to tour again after all that.

    Yep i agree with the above - Bono is a twat!
    I used to like him in the 90's but over the last few years he;s disappeared up his own backside!

    Oh come on GHBearman, you have to realise when people say something as a joke. When someone says 'hes a mini hitler' they dont actually mean that person is as bad as the 1940's german leader, just a term. Same as the infamous 'wos-mas'-gate scandal last year. Just a term, no offence is meant.

    Bono does a lot of good but i find him very hypocritical. Its like Chris Martin telling me about poverty and hes sat there in his 40 bedroom mansion with his Hollywood wife.

    One minute Bonos going on about greenhouse gases, the next minute he does a tour where it takes about 40 huge articulated lorries to take his special tour stage all over the place which costs a million or two to erect at every location. Just find it hypocritical when hes going on at me about greenhouse gases or starving africans.

    http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/cliff-kuang/design-innovation/u2s-insane-new-stage - the stage is 60 tonnes ! Imagine carting that around all these locations on his tour ! Most bands just use the normal stage as wembley or other stadiums and then theres Bono moaning to me about turning off lights etc and giving money to starving africans and hes making millions upon millions on his tour which he'll never spend in a lifetime ! Hypocrite !!

    I wish 'pop stars' would just do their job and keep to singing and keep out of politics and other stuff

    Top Tip: Bono. Want to make more money? Apparently Michael Jackson's estate has made over $1bn in the year since his death.

    Given Spector's response, psj, I doubt it's a joke. No winking smilies, etc.

    Is that correct, Spector?

    wot a prick!

    id happily see him crucified. there are plenty of other people doing great work for the world who don't feel the need to feed their massive ego.

    bono isn't even his real name. the dick

    I wouldnt take it so seriously. Saying you want someone crucified is just a general term for people to say they dislike someone. Same as 'wos-mas' last year, just was meant to be friendly. You need to stop taking things so seriously. If you honestly think he wants Bono crucified then contact MI5 to give them information about a possible sinister attack on Bono then !

    I dont like Bono either, i dont like Jedward but i wouldnt want them nailed to a cross. I personally think Spectors joking and saying he wants Bono crucified means he wont be able to tour again. I wouldnt take it so seriously

    If my granny calls me a 'little bugger' i dont think she means it literally.

    Didnt know about that. Just ridiculous. Hearing a charity worker who gets paid peanuts and who does trips to Africa and other countries to help, telling me about giving money to poverty stricken people i would take in. Hearing some multi millionaire telling me to give money, just a joke

    Come to think of it, I remember seeing Kanye West in a mag once, posing as Jesus, wearing a crown of thorns etc.. Both a pair of complete gimps, I can't stand either of them.

    Yeah some celebs made a lot of money of the back of Live Aid. If it was not for that Bob Geldof would have been just another artist that faded away as the 80's progressed.

    What was it about the 80's and their obsession with things Live. I always remember in the 80's Live TV shows would make sure their viewers saw the words Live adorning their screens for the whole show, whilst the presenter kept banging on about that fact they were live. It was like doing things Live was a new invention. Like back in the day all Gigs and TV shows were pre-recorded.

    Then on the other side of that you had the 80's obsession with all things Video.

    The 80's was an odd decade in many ways.

    Absolutely right. Seriously, just think how much money would be raised for the starving in Africa if we showed Bono's crucifixion live on TV via a subscription service. You could stage it at Wembley so you would sell 100,000 odd tickets- more money. It might not save the world, but the two advantages are obvious:

    1. Huge proceeds
    2. Dead Bono

    What do you guys think?

    and as a supporting act the crucifixion of Garry Glitter.

    Infact we could also crucify Sting, Paris Hilton, Katy Price, James Blunt, Chris Martin, Madonna, Simon Cowel, Cheryl Tweedy and Angelina Jolie. We could call it ... wait for it........"Live Death".

    See now that's more like it, but I think these guys are all headliners. They deserve their own nights. Katie Price wouldn't fill Wembley, so maybe that smaller O2 venue nearby would do her, the one that Hot Chocolate played in recently. Gary Glitter would be a crowd puller so I could see him on his final night at a packed Wembley. He always wanted to be different, so he can be Peter The Rock - crucify him upside down.

    I wouldn't crucify Angelina Jolie or Cheryl Tweedy, at least not before having some 'fun' with them first!:smile:

    True: his full name is of course Bono Vox.

    Don't you think a rule should be brought in banning all rock music by people over 40? That would be great. We could clear out all the dead wood like Vox endlessly talking about how they are "back", and force the record companies to sign people with hair. Real rock and roll. None of this "we're still on the edge, man, but excuse me while I go back to my villa in France". Yeah right on, baldy.
