[matilda] Bono is a complete nobcock. IMO.

Hey all, don't know how many of you saw this, but I thought it was 
adequately pathetic to be worth mentioning

Notice that Bono is collaborating with socially responsible employers 
like Gap and Nike to screw over the people who actually make the 
clothes, allowing the evil pigdog capitalists to undermine genuinely 
ethical movements like Fairly Traded clothing. Given that the great 
rallying call of Live8 was supposed to be Justice not Charity, I should 
think that exploiting the workforce of the third world for the sake of 
channeling a little money to fight aids is rather counterproductive. But 
thats just cynical old me.

I have no words to express the contempt I feel for people who destroy 
all the good work that the development movement does by trying to 
empower the least responsible companies in the world. It is an indirect 
flow of resources from the poor of the Far East to the poor of Africa, 
indirect only in the sense that the money will stop of in the west for 
rich businessman to cream their share off the top.

Angry face.
