So what's Bill Gates going to do now that he's retiring? As noted at in Engadget's liveblog of his CES keynote, Gates produced a video showing his final day in office. Said U2 singer Bono to Gates, "Bill, we've talked about this before. We're full up in the band. All positions are filled. I know... I know... I can't just replace Edge because you got a high score on Guitar Hero."
Bono is seen talking in a confessional akin to NBC's The Office. "Bill's always had a passion for music... and as long as it's not my music, I'm fine with that." So much for that. How about setting your sights a little lower - say, Coldplay?

I hate Bono and his stadium sized ego.
This is funny, though.

everytime I hear U2 I always think about that south park episode.
"Mr. Bono is in Africa helping children"
"YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!"

I was going to post an angry rant towards the comments about Bono, but why, each posters own words will out themselves. If that is the view many of you have of Gates and Bono, I say enjoy more mainstream TV. Oh and vote me down I don't really care, nice to see joystiq posters vote down dissenting opinions now rather than blind ignorance.

I just don't care about Bono. How's that? I don't care either way. I am completely neutral toward him. He's done some good stuff around the world, and his band writes the same music consistently. I have never been a U2 fan and I don't think I ever will be. But the rest of the world can knock themselves out. I take it you hear something I don't.

U2 Writes some catchy songs, I don't find them astounding or anything, but always something I can listen too. The joke is good though, the little screenshot of Bill gates jamming to his guitar in the background is pretty darn funny.
Still, not as funny as "No Peter, this is for the starving children" "I'm tasting it for the starving children.."
