Petition Launched to Make Bono History
During the propaganda videos issued to promote Live Aid 2: Twenty Years On From The First One, we were presented with lots of images with Bono. This imagery was extremely powerful. Starring himself and a whole host of people who appeared solely to boost their 'caring profile', Bono told us that 'every time I and my mates click their fingers, an African child will die'. There was, of course, a simple solution to this: stop bloody doing it - don’t abuse your weird powers. Aside from his world-saving duties, Bono likes to occasionally rock out with a little known Irish band called U2. Though named after some awful text speak, critics are saying the band could someday be big, if Bono himself were to shut up telling everyone off all the time and dictating to us, the lowly public, what we should do in life to save the universe. Thankfully some people want to stop Bono bleating on and have launched a petition to stop him. We're not sure how they intend to stop him, but hopefully it won’t be by freezing him. This would, of course, leave the possibility open for him to be thawed out in 3000 years. Imagine the unfortunate luck for the poor sods then. And would Bono be able to operate a flying car?

Everyone Gets All Sad About Being Crap At Eurovision
In case you missed the news, the UK is the rubbishest in the world at Eurovision - even rubbisher than Spain's creepy Elvis-geek. On Saturday the UK Eurovision entry Andy Abraham came joint last - along with some nondescript Germans and a Polish tooth machine who looks like she bathes in Ronseal - causing Terry Wogan to mumble furiously about political block voting and boycotts and even his own resignation if our crap songs weren't taken as seriously as mainland Europe's crap songs in the future. And now Terry Wogan's outraged warcry has been backed up by none other than Bruce Forsyth. Old men grumbling about stuff? Who'd have thought?

Roger Waters Loses His Giant Blow-Up Pig, Then Finds It
Coachella was all about one thing this year - a dreary old man forcing a crowd to stand up for three hours while he played songs that your Dad likes. But Roger Waters' Coachella set was livened up by one tiny thing - the moment when his giant inflatable pig broke free and blew off. Blew off into the desert. Get your minds out of the gutter. Cuh! And the escape of Roger Waters' big pig has been the talk of the town ever since, with extensive discussions in the press and monetary rewards being offered to whoever recovered it first. Anything, in fact, to take people's minds off the fact that they'd just basically exchanged $270 for a week of agonising lower back pain and an eighth of a day spent listening to an old posho bleat on about Southampton.
