Bored? Then play the "WHERE'S BONO" game!!!

cille · 05-06-2006, 08:08 PM

Hey you know what? This is one of my favourite pasttimes these days.

Here's what to do:

Pick up your music mag. If you haven't got one it'd be a good idea to acquire one. They are often for sale at corner shops. Go for Q, Rolling Stone Magazine, Uncut, Mojo, Blender, even NME or other- as long as it is rock music related it'll work. If you haven't got cash for your own purchase your local library/brother/trash container might help you.
Now you gotta get down to business. What you have to look for is pictures of U2 singer Bono Vox throughout the mag. Simply browse through the 'zine from page 1 (or 2, or whatever they start out with) and go onwards to the very last page. Kepp counting - how many pictures of Bono could they squeeze into this edition of the magazine?
Rules: Only editorial pictures of Bono count. If there are ie. ipod ads with U2 and Bono in there they may count as ½ a bono. People looking like Bono don't count, no matter how hard they try (ie, people wearing Bono's sunglasses are tough to dismiss, but we gotta keep a clean game here, kids!)

.....(more to follow, had to bite this post into tiny bits to be allowed to post)

In case you aren't sure; here's a wee 'Who's Bono' guide:

Bono

Bono (But beware! Someone in this picture is trying to impersonate him; make sure you point out the real Bono or it doesn't count!)

cille · 05-06-2006, 08:20 PM

Bono w. fellow inmates. Again, beware of Bono imposters - they may look like, or associate with Bono, but that doesn't make them Bono. A U2 pic WITHOUT Bono, or solo portraits of any other band member doesn't really count (if that makes you feel sad then for heaven's sake let it count as ½ a Bono, we're not devils here and in lack of real Bonos we may have to be generous)

cille · 05-06-2006, 08:22 PM

u...
no...

story...

Bono (Yes he's trying to hide to trick us, tsk tsk! But this is what makes this game so challenging!)

NO, this is NOT Bono. It's not even the right pope. If you counted this as a Bono, you'll have to start over again, AND BEWARE of false Bonos!!
So... how many Bonos could YOU find?

Some mags are Bono friendlier than others. In a winter issue of Rolling Stone i found 4½ Bono (the ½ was a huge ipod ad right at the back of the mag). That's pretty good. In a more recent edition of Q i found 5½ Bono! that's pretty fookin impressive!

Now go find some Bonos, kids!!

(PS! <- NOT Bono!)

Cali · 05-06-2006, 10:17 PM

there are 4 pictures and 2 drawings of bono in the may 8th issue of time magazine: NOT a music mag

administrator · 05-06-2006, 11:00 PM

this is a game? i always scan things for mentions or photos of bono!

go bono!

hazey · 05-06-2006, 11:02 PM

The Pope

But beware! Someone in this picture is trying to impersonate him. And we can't even be certain the impostor is impersonating the right Pope. Doubly tricky. Like I said: beware, be very ware!

cille · 05-06-2006, 11:59 PM

^ROFL!

brilliance, sheer brilliance!

Gatsby · 05-07-2006, 02:57 AM

thats brilliant

PenguinBoy · 05-07-2006, 12:43 PM

hehe That looks like pope portrate of me that i made!

cille · 05-07-2006, 02:38 PM

hehe, you do look clergycal (is that how you say?) but not very papal - isn't the pope always in white and gold, and/or those flashy pink garments?

i aint catholic so i wouldnt really know...

Hendrik · 05-07-2006, 02:49 PM

Nice pic, Jacob.

Yeah, true...I've never seen a black pope since 1500 years. Must be a racial thingy, this whole vatican madmen club. *wink* Ah, feck it, "leaders" of organized religions (with exception of the Dalai Lama which you can't compare to the others), whether they're black, yellow or white are dangerous anyway.

Well that was originally a picture of ratzinger, which i edited, maybe it was from before he was the pope man... yeah that was a cardinal pic.

cille · 05-07-2006, 04:36 PM

SisterMidnight · 05-07-2006, 05:22 PM

But how do you play this game? Im really slow, and dont understand it

cille · 05-09-2006, 08:13 PM

hehe, my deer bevster i'm afraid i'm going to have to ask you to read from point 1 again

(but in short: the game is just counting how many pictures of bono there are in any copy of a magazine. you'd be amazed sometimes, the man is EVERYWHERE!)

maccas81 · 05-09-2006, 08:35 PM

if youre looking for bono you'll find him somewhere up his own ass!!!

Hendrik · 05-10-2006, 08:02 AM

Or maybe i was not woken up fully.
