| And the award goes to...."The Saints are Coming".by U2 and GreendayOk. I am the first and foremost to say that I think U2 is just great and good and hunky-dorry. I own a few of their albums and appreciate their contribution to music.Let's just say I cried when I saw the newest and most pathetic attempt at a 'political statement' video. No, it wasn't the song being annoying as hell that bothered me as much as it was Green Day being there.Ew. Needless to say this video is the "bomb" among punk kids and...Well, other morons....Maybe I just don't get it? The ones who do get 'it' are the ones who explain their point with swears and the misspelling of very short words. "Omg lolz we shud have like so not ben in e-wak, like totally Bush suks omgz."This 'better later than never' tribute song is a classic whinny Bono-fide peace-fest. The video is Katrina footage (Apparently Hollywood still hasn't let it go) with computer added images of planes and war crafts zooming in to save the day dropping thousands of aid packages.(hopefully with bullet proof vests in them)The headline on the bottom reads something like "US Iraq troops deployed to New Orleans." Troops come home to save Katrina victims"Ok....What is wrong with this picture?I mean besides Billie Joel's hair having enough oil in it to lower gas prices.And the fact that they are a little late for Katrina.Uhmm Dudes? I think the telethons are over...First, we discovered they found yet another way to blame the federal government for Katrina by mimicking how 'great' and totally realistic it would have been to have those guys kinda busy saving the middle east from hell to take time out of their busy schedule to play Disaster Clean-up Crew for a little while.Come the hell on people. You know what I would just love? A rock video with scenes of a hypothetical situation where all those school buses were deployed and used by via Mr. Chocolate City Mayor himself. Or maybe it could be a documentary and show the buses under |
