Bono-Glaser photo caption contest now open

Monday, October 25, 2004 - 09:32 AM EST

Apple Computer and the rock band U2 are rumored have inked a deal to sell customized iPods. It's believed that the announcement will happen at an event Oct. 26 in San Jose, Calif. Appearing at the event will be Apple CEO Steve Jobs and U2's Bono and the Edge.

One the eve of the rumored announcement, we thought we could have some fun in the form of a photo captioning contest. So what if it's one of those contests where nobody wins a "real" prize? Who cares! It's fun anyway. Below is a photo of U2's Bono (left) and Real's CEO Rob Glaser (right) - have at it!

No caption needed. Bono sticking his tongue out at Glaser says it all!

Oct 25, 04 - 10:23 am Comment from: Gandalf

Bono: "I thought you were a software guy but looking at you it's clear you're a music industry exec"

(Bono must have said something pretty cute, look at the colour of Glaser's ears).

Take two, Bono: "looks like you should cut down on the booze".

Whatever: it's clear Glaser is physically very unhealthy, probably spread to his mind too.

Oct 25, 04 - 10:23 am Comment from: JediL1

Mr. Glaser I'm here on behalf of the Save the African Children foundation.

They wanted me to tell you to please stop eating all of their food so we can alleviate the famine situation there.

Bono: I am sorry Ron.

Bono: Wipe your tears away

Oct 25, 04 - 12:10 pm Comment from: Chad

Re: ThaMacMan.

Excellent caption. So nice to see a response that doesn't cater to the baser instincts. Intelligence and wit might not be dead after all.
