U2 as the Official Soundtrack for the World Cup
K.H. MacLean | Monday, May 3, 2010 at 1:45PM Once ever four years, you will hear a U2 song in every other commercial on ESPN.
Bono being white people's ambassador to Africa.
The World Cup is back and so is Bono and is ramblings about world unity and peace through "the beautiful game". I love the World Cup. It is always exciting even if you don't really care who wins. And I like U2. They sound great live and they're still pretty cool after all these years.
But enough!
I know there is more to music outside of the U.S. than U2. Who died and made them the representatives for all things international?
Listen, I know we're just a country of a bunch of stupid, soccer (football) hating, xenophobes but you think maybe we can handle it if they played something other than U2 in these commercials, or maybe even (gasp) music from the host country of South Africa? Just a thought.
U2 I love you, but being up all in every World Cup Commercial on this side of the atlantic is a little overrated.
