A tribute to the great Oirsih philosopher David Paul Hewson who is single handledy saving the world . 

Go for it NOBO 

 Paradoxically to hate NOBO is to love so many good things - we are not nihilistic, uncaring human beings who rant for our own demented pleasure - no it is precisely because we care and seek the truth that informs our passion to denounce false idols. This generation faces a rapid decline in optimism, living standards and hope and will turn to anger when they realise how there future has been squandered by the greed of a generation and its politicians  NOBO stands at the apex of creepy sucking up to those in power and despite his fine words his deeds condemn him as just another money grubbing , power hungry ,messianic guitar playing mega-rich faux Oirish despot. 

Once rock was genuinely transgressive and anti-authority  but attending a White House prayer breakfast with Georg Bush radical he aint. 

I heard a story that NOBO approached Michael Eavis to headline at Glastonbury but when the great and saintly Michael (now there is a true self-effacing hero of our age) told him how much they could pay that was it - off goes NOBOin a huff (and consider all the profit from Glasto goes to good cause like Oxfam and Water Aid )  you cant buy credibility and you cant fool the good people of East Dulwich. 

Less we forget he is a tax avoider and partner in a private equity fund  now READ ON for he is an Anti-Christ sent to deceive and confuse the meek with false tongues .. 

Product Red, styled as (PRODUCT) RED, is a brand licensed to partner companies such as American Express, Apple Inc., Converse, Motorola, Gap, Emporio Armani, Hallmark, Microsoft, and Dell. It is an initiative begun by U2s front man, Bono, and Bobby Shriver of DATA to raise money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Bobby Shriver has been announced as the CEO of Product Red, whilst Bono is currently an active public spokesperson for the brand. 

So that would give the impression that theyd be raising a whole heap of money for those starving brown children, right? Well, theyre certainly ready to spend the money on making sure that you know that theyd love to help those starving brown children! 

Allow those at Advertising Age to warm the cockles of your heart. 

By any measure, the buzz has been extraordinary and the collective marketing outlay by Gap, Apple and Motorola has been enormous, with some estimates as high as $100 million. Gap alone spent $7.8 million of its $58 million outlay on Red during last years fourth quarter, according to Nielsen Media Researchs Nielsen Adviews. 

So how much money has all this spending on advertising managed to net for the people who actually need it? Yeah. Not so much. 

So youd expect the money raised to be, well, big, right? Maybe $50 million or even $100 million. 

Try again: The tally raised worldwide is $18 million. 

Apparently you people arent buying enough iPods to save the world. 

I suggest investigating BuyLessCrap.org. They have this crazy notion that rather than but something you dont need so that they can give a sliver of the profits as a donation, you might be helping more by, oh, I dont know donating. 

Join us in rejecting the ti(red) notion that shopping is a reasonable response to human suffering. 

We invite you to donate directly to the (RED) campaigns beneficary The Global Fund and to other charitable causes without consuming. 

Say thats just crazy enough to work!
