Official "Bitch about the stupid mask" thread - Page 14

kellyahern · 06-26-2009, 05:39 PM

This has to be a hoax.

When I actually tried to explain this verbally to someone, it sounded so ridiculous (even more so when you say it out loud than when you're reading about it).

"They want us to wear masks."

"What!? Do they tell you to get your own string for the back of it too?

"

"Well, actually . . . yes."

anyone else notice that the comment form on the mask page is now literally gone? looks like this is less something U2 wants reactions to, more a directive.

I agree with you! that version is beautiful and I am looking forward to hear it live again.

but these masks...it is going to look stupid, but the problem that I have with it is, what is it going to help? She will not be freed because of the fact that thousands of people in barcelona are going to wear a mask. I don't see the sense of that statement. As I do not see the sense of preaching for own public anyway...

I dont even know who that chick is.

But I do love photoshop..

Let's go for a BOYCOT of those stupid masks. Come on what do they think that we are stupid children following this? I support Amnesty and lots of other organisations. But these kind of things I am not going to eat

phommel · 06-26-2009, 05:54 PM

are there people here on the forum that have a connection to any of the band members? Or to people surrounding them? We should use all kind of ways to prevent U2 (and a part of the public) are going to embarass themselves

The one with the hairdo? That's the hairdo from Kate, of Jon & Kate Plus Eight fame. One of the recent internet things is to photoshop her hair onto various people's heads.

Pretty awesome.

Bono wants something that says "Daddy likes leather."

corianderstem · 06-26-2009, 06:05 PM

I caught that when I was catching up on the thread earlier. That was a good catch.

BVS · 06-26-2009, 06:08 PM

Yes, it's a stupid idea. I'm willing to bet it's off their website by the second show.

No one is going to be the only one wearing one.
