Bono, whilst playing a gig in Glasgow, got the whole crowd to be silent and then began slowly clapping his hands. He got the crowd to clap along for a while, the stadium quiet except for the rhythmic clapping...

After a short period Bono spoke, saying that everytime he clapped his hands a child in Africa died...

Suddenly, from the front row of the venue a voice broke out in thick Scottish brogue, ending the silence as it echoed across the crowd, the voice cried out to Bono "Well stop ****ing doing it then!!"

I'm going to hell for laughing at that as hard as I did.
Fuck Bono, I wonder how much help his subsantial infuence and money would be if he used it at home to free Ireland/scotland. I apreaciate that kids dying in Africa is bad, but WTF, he comes from a country that has some issues that he could help with.

I heard some where that he was pumping money into his own country as well? I am not sure where though.

Pete, you wont be lonely I laughed as well. Bono's selling technique for this issue is getting a tad stale.

I think Martin can clarify Boner's Irish input.
