Snap a Bono

U2 fan Dina bumped into the Hewson family (and some recognizable friends) while vacationing in France and snapped many photos, which are being hosted at Hungarian fan site Station.

  1. Wow, why are you bothering me with all this history, these photos were taken, like, two weeks ago, sheesh! (tee hee, I’m no good at emoticons!)

    These add a whole new dimension to the thought, Bono is hot. Baby, ditch the pants and cool off, we all know you have bandy little legs and no feet, we simply do not care!!

  3. I do not think it is cool to take photos of Bono and Ali when they’re clearly on family time. still, I looked at every one – hard to resist. where’d the little one get that blonde hair??

  7. Dear U2log – I’ve been a fan of the site for many years and it has now become my hub for all things U2.

    As a fan, I’m always keen to see new material like photos, interviews, articles etc. Although these shots were obviously an intrusion on their holiday, Bono and Edge are famous people, and as such they’ve gotta expect to have their photo taken, even when on holidays.

    But posting photos of Bono’s kids is not cool. Taking them in the first place can be blamed on getting caught up in the moment, but keeping them linked on the site reeks of National Enquirer exploitation. And U2log is better than that.

    Why not link to the shots of Bono and Edge, but leave the ones of his kids off the net? Or at least to less reputable sites to exploit? This is not the kind of stuff that most real fans are interested in.

    As for the rest of the site, keep up the great work.

  9. I agree with casesmith. Usually pictures on newspapers are censored.
    Is not good to publish pictures of the kids, especially when there’s the danger to be kidnapped. I didn’t say that…was Bono.
    Remove the piccies please!

  11. The note clearly states:

    “(…)and snapped many photos, ***which are being hosted at Hungarian fan site Station.****”.

    U2log.com is … well, a log. Along with many other things, they report some other websites with U2 content, but they are not responsible for it.

    Maybe you need to write to the staff of Station. Caroline, Cindy et al can’t control other websites.

    just a thought.

  13. You need to relax. Who cares if pictures are taken of Bono’s kids? It’s harmless — I can’t believe people are so uptight about it! The man isn’t Michael Jackson, who puts masks on his kids.

  15. Sorry but photographing kids is not cool. Leave them alone, In all the photo’s both Bono and Ali look concerened. By U2log posting you are infringing on their privicy, let the bloke have his holiday and when the new album comes out talke all the photo’s you want. Think about kidnappers who can clearly see what his kids look like! Don’t be silly.
    But as CAsesmith said the rest of the site is really cool.
    JB.
    Ps I find it hard to believe this fan just stumbled upon BONO, it looks like she got a boat and followed them for goodness sake.

  17. Yeah, the link works ok but they’ve been forced to remove the content and the links to the photos are dead to!

    I was nearly done downloading them as well. :'(

  19. I would agree. It looks like the pictures were even snapped without the knowledge of any of the family. It’s Bono’s choice whether he wants to have his kids out in public and we should leave it at that. I couldn’t imagine if anyone else were in the public light that they would want the same thing.

  21. The photos have been posted and/or discussed at a lot of fan sites, forums, and mailing lists. To ignore them here would make us seem out of sync with the fan community.

  23. Bono was really kind when these photos were taken, and they werent nervous about that. Please, those who dont know Bono and dont know the back story, do NOT talk! He’s the kindest person in this fokin world, and he knows, we know that these pictures couldnt do any harm to them. Bono is to cool, to hide his kiddies. He even showend them to the TV channels in Monaco, and the whole word was able to watch his family. But now forget us, forget Bono, and… That’s the way the cookie crumbles…

  25. Who cares? BONO cares. That’s why the pics are no longer up. He asked the owners of the site to remove the pics of the children. He does NOT want his kids’ pics online. He is filthy rich and has to worry about weirdos and kidnappers. Now that this has happened I hope it will prove once and for all that posting pics of famous peoples’ kids is not cool and should not be done. We may enjoy them but it is putting the family at risk. Let’s all respect their wishes and refrain from putting up pics of the beautiful children. EVERY site should comply with the wishes of the parents and take the pics down if they have them.

  27. The link on the main Hungarian site is now down and hopefully any site that put up the pics and not just the link will take them down as well. Bono and Ali do not want the pics online. They have asked that they be removed. That should override everything else.

    On a side note, I don’t think they knew all those pics were taken. None were posed, most look candid. They are not looking at the camera in most of them. They may have been aware some of the pics were being taken, but not how many, or that they would be splattered all over the net. When they found out, they were understandably concerned and had them taken down.
