Today an Irishman has claimed that U2 are very rich, avoid paying taxes, and behave like superstars. It is believed that this is the same Irishman who previously claimed that the Pope was catholic, 2+2=4, and that bears really do prefer the woods.
"U2 are robbing the poor" said the Irishman "Bono talks about wanting to help people, but he and his pals are just helping themselves. The more albums they sell the richer they get. And the people who buy their albums just get poorer.'
The band, famous for extravagant live shows, are unimpressed by the Irishman's claims. "Listen, I know Mandela. So I really don't give a f***k" said Bono.
How will these claims affect the band's popularity? Well, avoiding tax, being greedy, and not really giving a shit suggests that they really understand their target market.
