Online Petion pleading Bono to retire launches
Aug 1^st, 2008 at 10:12am

http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/bono-retire-from-public-life-and-well-donate-a...

An online petition asking for U2 frontman Bono to "retire from public life" has so far raised $390.

The petition is published on Thepoint.com.

It's stated aim is: "To get Bono to retire from public life (so he'll stop leading misguided counter-productive philanthropy efforts)."

The petition's creator also declared that all money raised will be given to charity, depending on the success of the petition.

The creator states: "We will give money to Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

"But we will only pay if we meet our objective."

U2 are currently putting the finishing touches to their new album, the follow-up to 2004's 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb'.

Bono's phlanthropy does nothing to harm my life, however annoying he is, I don't see the point of having someone be asked to stop trying to do what the feel is something good. If anyone can tell me how he harms or hurts this world, outside of talking, which I can avoid listening, then maybe I'll reconsider.

Amen Brother!

Everyone else uses their celebrity for one purpose or another. At least this man is trying to accomplish something good for the world and not just buying up properties, finding tax loopholes, living the "high life" in the public eye. Give me a break. If ya don't like what he says..don't fricken listen to him.

No way would I give online yahoos any of my money..
that is the real hoax and scam.....
