You too

I've strongly considered joining Facebook-groups such as "Bono is the biggest wanker in the world" without quite knowing why. I don't like the guy.
Sure, everything he stands for and does against poverty and such is just brilliant - we need that kind of persons! But there's something about him saying "oh yeah, I'm great and everybody's loving me". Besides, who the hell meets world famous politicians wearing pimped sunglasses all the fucking time? I don't think I've seen any pictures of Bono without sunglasses after the 1980's!

Though I actually like some of U2's songs, I don't like the band itself or Bono himself. I now have my excuse - just the same reason as most fans from Ireland has.
U2 decided recently to move all their money to the Netherlands to pay less tax. That means U2 don't pay taxes to their motherland anymore, which left many Irish fans insulted and gutted.
Bono has criticised world leaders for their use of money and such, and U2 moves their money to the Netherlands to save taxes, which seems greedy. Which then makes Bono a hypocrite.
They've also moved their studio to the U2 tower (what a cheesy name! wtf?), and had a release concert on top of the BBC building in London.

Actually, I still think Bono is a wanker. Except the things he stands for.
