Bob Geldof/Grotesque failure

The day I wake up and look in the newspaper, and NOT see a picture of Bob Geldof looking at me, is the day I go to a homeless shelter, find the dirtiest dog in there and buy him/her a Mercedes.

Today won't be the day though, as the first picture to burn a hole in my retina this morning was none other than *Mr. Happy* himself, Sir Bob Geldof.

What's Bob bitching about this morning? Africa, surprise. Apparently he wants everybody in the world to donate their Nike's to oppressed Africans who don't have proper footwear. I'm kidding, but I really shouldn't give him any ideas.
Live 8 co-organiser Bob Geldof fears the historic gig to lobby world leaders to help poverty-stricken Africa has been a "grotesque failure", because he believes the G8 leaders are unwilling to support his Make Poverty History crusade.
From here on in, I demand that when anyone uses Bob Geldof's name in a sentence that they also include the words *grotesque failure*. It seems only fitting.

To be quite honest, there's really nothing more in the article of note, other than Bob's continual bitching and whining and self-centeredness, I only wrote the post because it had the words "Bob Geldof" and "grotesque failure" in it.
