WRITE THE CAPTION

U2'S COMPUTER GUY
"Some of today’s big artists now have such complex IT requirements that they need to take a computer support technician on tour with them. Joshua Kapellen for instance, a computer support technician employed by US computer repair firm Geek Squad, has been on tour with U2 since last year, providing technical support to the 120 people travelling on the band’s Vertigo world tour."
LIVE NATION'S COMPUTER GUY
"There is also an extensive customer database. 'As a business, we try to touch the customers more, so when people subscribe to our website or buy tickets, we are passed that information and we attempt to continue our dialogue with the customer,' says Mason. 'That is all about having a single customer view.'"

Above the image it says "Write The Caption." Are you initiating a caption writing contest or is that just a reminder for you to write a caption?

I should've made it an actual contest, but yeah I meant to write that.

Bono having retired from makeing meaningful socially aware music demonstrates the power of the U2 brand by explaining that by simply adding U2 to any product you can charge 10% more than you could for an identical non U2 product. Bono went on to unveil the new Bono edition straw hat which looks just as stupid as a regular straw hat but costs $279.67 after ticketmaster charges

specialj is in the lead.
best caption by a show of hands will win a pair of tickets to a show somewhere (to be based on where you live, what kind of music you like, and when you're available).

In another cheap marketing ploy to further the U2 brand, Bono replaced his eyeballs with the New 4th Gen U2 Ipod. Upon examination, physicians later determined that Bono was "in a place called vertigo".

"hey steve, since we don't have an actual gloryhole, why don't i just cover my eyes with ipods while i suck your corporate cock."

"Bono, they're called iPods, i-p-o-d-s, not EYEpods."

This picture, obtained by Brooklyn Vegan's crack photography staff, is from the recent Steve Jobs roast in which Bono performed a performance art piece entitled "See No Evil."
Sensing confusion in the audience by the shielding of evil through corporate instruments, Bono said, "Just kidding, its called Irony in two parts."

Bono was seen weeping at the press conference, attempting to dry his eyes with what could only have been for him the symbols of his own failure as an artist of integrity and principle. Jobs, standing nearby, was pleased.

Calling bono a hobgoblin is utterly brilliant. Too bad that person didn't leave a name, I would like to vote for her/him.

If we're still captioning...
As the prototype had not been completed in time for the press conference, Bono demonstrates what the Apple “I-tastic Peace-seeking Globally Conscious (yet capitalistic) Sensitive Rocker/Farmer” figurine will look like.

Reposting was not my intention, but thanks so much.

Hobgoblin was mine, but I guess theres no way of proving it in case i win some tickets...

Kedric, if you post your contact info or send BV an e-mail using the same IP address you used when you posted the "hobglobin" caption, maybe BV will consider that evidence enough.
But I vote for Brevity's caption.
