Son of Promo Bono
You bought him in 2000, you forked out in 2005, now it’s time to dip in your credit crunched pockets again. Fresh from our toy-factory in the People’s Republic of Tallaght, we present to you our latest 12-inch action figure: EMO BONO!
Go on, click him, you know you want to!
EMO BONO has a fully articulated body with 30+ points of articulation. Authentic likeness of the Irish frontman of U2, dressed in trademark slimming black undershirt, black leather jacket, black pants. EMO BONO wears black 2-inch-creepers for that extra ‘elevation’.
Comes with two interchangeable sunglasses, a working (RED) credit card, a replica green Gretsch guitar, and water-soluble liquid eyeliner in two colours: black and blue. Make him up as you go along!
EMO BONO is available from U2log.com for only $9,99.
Special discount for U2.com members, just $12,99!
The return of Promo Bono
Our long time readers will remember Promo Bono from back when the new millennium was fresh, Florida was in the middle of re-counting votes and people still believed everything we wrote. One reader in particular who shall remain unnamed (elmo, Ed.) recently asked “and where IS Promo Bono?”. Good question. Read on for the full story.
Fake Plastic Bono
We at U2log.com were shocked and appalled to learn that Fake Promo Bonos are circulating on E-Bay.
The image below shows how these obviously inferior toys are different from our own range of U2log.com approved action figures. Always insist on U2log.com Promo BonoTM, accept no substitute.
Plastic Promo Band
The wait is over! The resounding worldwide success (including an unlikely appearance at U2.com) of Promo Bono (Built: Zero; Distributed: Zero; Profit: 0.00) prompted the engineers in U2log Toys’ workshop to complete the roll call. For a purely limited time we bring you the remaining promo dolls.*
*Availability questionable and quality not assured.
Promo Bono meets Hot Press
“..on a rather different tact, the www.youtwo.net website claim to have found a hidden message on the ATYCLB cover.
‘Bono and Co are pictured in the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris’ they hypothesise ‘in the background there are check in desks and information screens. If you look at the screens very closely, you can see a message on the the left side that says J33-3. This message refers to the bible, specifically to a part of Jeremiah in the Old Testament’.
Finally we thought you might like to have a look at the limited edition Promo bono which was sent out to particularly important VIPs.
‘He talks! He promotes!” it says on the box. ‘Pull the cord for random quotes like ‘Lets bite the arse of the pop charts’ and ‘They’re boys, we’re men’.”
Sound familiar??!!
Go on: give him a pull
(click him all over)
It doesn’t take long for the merchandising to kick in. Meet the limited edition doll made especially for the release of All That You Can’t Leave Behind: Promo Bono
