Bono Gets Laser Jacket, Public Gets Dizzy

Bono got all pew-pew at the first concert of U2’s new tour, wearing a black leather jacket with 240 red lasers built along his silhouette. Not LEDs, lasers. See how it worked on this video of him doing the monkey: Bono, schmobono. I still prefer LED Pac Man running over Addy’s tits. And LED Pac…

Reportedly, Senator John McCain wants Predators to provide with uncensored Wi-Fi coverage to the people of Iran.
