Apocalypse Sign II: Helms and Bono

Well, I said I’d continue these when the Holy Ghost struck me.

And boy has it.

Bono and Jesse Helms?

Comments?

Hehe. Turn dat racket down! Yer meshin’ up my hearin’ aid!

That strikes me as funny.

Maybe Jesse Helms thought he was Sonny Bono? Or that it was the actual U2 planes from the 50s?

No, no…

If I’m getting the proper feel for it. They genuinely like each other.

Maybe we can all just get along.

“Jesse Helms…was invited…by his friend Bono…”

OK, who activated the Infinite Improbability Drive? :eek:

Apparently Helms and Bono got to be friends when Bono was lobbying for Drop the Debt last year on The Hill.

I’m personally mystified. Stranger bedfellows have never been found.

I agree with this being a sign of the Apocalypse, but what was the first one?

Stop whining about the IID already!

Just be glad we ditched that shaky Restaurant Mathematics Drive. Oh, and before I forget: you owe me 20 bucks. :wink:

Bono and Jesse Helms. Bono? And Jesse Helms? I had to look up in the address box to make sure I wasn’t really at The Onion. Wow.

C’mon everybody, join hands and sing along with me:

“All we are saaaaaying, is give peace a chance…”

That would be me…it was worth it, as I now have a hot tub full of naked supermodels waiting for me. If however, another Onion story comes true, the one about Strom Thurmond changing his mind about homosexuals after a gay one night stand, I will strongly consider shutting it off.

We have truly moved into some sort of surreal space here.

And, for those who asked, here’s the first one:

Apocalypse Sign: Color Changing Cheetos

Not as stunning but even grosser.

More to follow as I read the AP.

What a strange world it is…

That’s nuffin. I misread the subject as “Helms and Bong” which I find even more incongruous.
