I wouldn't mind seeing him present the Ig Nobel Peace Prize. Last year's award went to the Mayor of Vilnius in Lithuania, for his tactics in the war against illegally-parked cars:

The woman looks exhausted. Honestly.. she's been treated and viewed as a sporting trophy right now. It's quite an ugly spectacle really, imo.

Why doesn't Geldof just take a few years off after his ordeal?

Presented by our ambassador Bono. I cant stand Bono any more. I cant think of a bigger publicity whore than Bono. Why does Bono present this award. To borrow a line from south Park, at some stage cant he just F**k off?

Bono has been vocally campaigning for her ever since she was put under house arrest, and long before you ever heard of her. There is probably no better person in the world to present this award to her than him

Also, the whole reason that this incredible person is in Ireland is because of Bono, so please take you begrudgery and stick it somewhere unpleasant.

Bono would campaign for free biscuits if he thought it'd make him sound worthy.

I heard that went back into voluntary house arrest/seclusion after Bono presented her with the award.

Gets on my nerves big time

[starbelgrade]

Bono was onstage singing "Bullet the Blue Sky". In the middle, he hushes the band to a low whisper. Only the bass & Larry Mullen's drums are audible.

Over the low rythm, Bono starts clapping slowly and sonorously declaring.....

'Every time I clap my hands...... a bullet shoots across the cold blue sky....'

The crowd cheers....

'Every time I clap my hands...... a bomb falls on the midnight sky....'

The crowd goes wild...

'Every time I clap my hands...... a child in Africa dies....'

At which point someone shouts back...

'Well, stop fucking clapping, you idiot!!'
