Scraggy Taters 290 Posted April 13, 2016 Bono advises Senate subcommittee meeting to attack ISIS with comedians. A job for Michael McIntyre & John Bishop methinx. They'd look good backed up against a wall facing a balaclava-ed firing squad or cowering under a 6ft Halibut chap with a freshly sharpened machete. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do Michael McIntyre and John Bishop fit into that category ? Not the way ISIS understand it. I remember seeing Alexei Sayle once and he batted off the notion that alternative comedy meant not being funny by pointing out that the true alternative to comedy is fascism. So, to follow through on Bono's suggestion I think we'd have to give careful consideration to what ISIS actually think is funny before identifying the likely "comedian" to change their world view.

En Passant 3,740 Posted April 14, 2016 Bono advises Senate subcommittee meeting to attack ISIS with comedians. Not entirely sure that comedians are trained for combat. Not entirely sure why Bono considers being in a band and singing a bit qualifies him to give advice on either combat or comedy but it doesn't seem to have stopped him.

Vinegar Tits 605 Posted December 29, 2017 Not that I like to speculate - which, of course, is why I frequent these 'ere forums - from what's said in the article it sounds like heart problems to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,434 Posted December 29, 2017 Few years back Bono was on the Graham Norton show and said he'd been badly ill, then looked all sad. Norton looked worried and said "Is it cancer?" "No", said the "singer", "Glaucoma." So he probably suffered from terminal IBS or Stage IV acne. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
