Bono's African Hunger Tour on NBC
We're pathetic. Brian Williams is in Africa for NBC Nightly News to report on the AIDS crisis and the focus of his piece is Bono of U2, his visit. What a great man he is, what an investment he's made in Africa. Act I. Bono in his black shirt and rockstar spectacles, thumbwrestling with an African child. Act II. Williams and British Treasury Minister Gordon Brown—whom Williams touts as the likely successor to Tony Blair—are standing around being lectured by the pierced and piercing Bono on the appeal of Islamic fundamentalism for starving Africans. Act III. Bono's black shirt now sweated through, he collapses on the plane, with just, Williams informs, three hours sleep.
This isn't about Bono. He's a good guy. More power to him. It's about Americans. Can we care about anything without a celebrity attached? Global Warming, brought to you by Al Gore. Literature, sponsored by Oprah. African Hunger, presented by Bono. And now George Clooney brings us—genocide.
OPRAH ! ARE YOU REALLY HELPING POOR AFRICANS?(ask yourself).I heard the news that you are coming to our continent in your effort to helping poor,displaced Africans.That sounds pretty good but the worst thing is that ,you are going to help the richest South Africans leaving the rest of the poorest continent out of your plan.Let me tell you that if you think you are helping poorest Africans by visiting South Africa,u are totally confused may with those who gave u this plan.am not opposing your plan but just think careful who are the poorest poor African countries are you going to help?.Open ur mind now and u should know that South Africa is The New York of Africa,So if u think u are helping the displaced poor people of Africa,you are not.You seem to be less concerned with the rest of the Africa,u only know South Africans because they are reach eeh?anyway let ur wish be done but remember we (your brothers and sisters)are watching your action on you relief for the poor Africans.Let me take this opportunity to thank Jay-z for his recently tour to our continent.This show how much the celebrities has started to care for their brothers and sisters in Africa.Thanx,on behalf of the starving Horn of African;s peolpe(Darfur),the Central and Eastern Africans.Its Nelkuta here!
