  1. Look at this photo and tell me - what do you see?



    99,9% will see Bono, but not me. Fans will notice that this guy is clearly younger than Bono, they will notice his nose and forehead. It's Pavel Sfera.

    I always hated people that tried to look like Bono or any of the guys from the band. Sure, wear glasses like his or have his haircut, but don't try TO BE Bono. Pavel Sfera has been doing it all his life.

    And now there's big scandal in Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia because of this picture. Guy on the left is Vuk Jeremić, controversial Serbian politician and President of the United Nations General Assembly.

    People in Bosnia and Croatia that were hurt by Serbians in war see this symbol (three fingers) as symbol that slaughtered them. Now you can imagine what pages of media look like today in Croatia.

    So yeah, fuck you Pavel Sfera and mind-sick people that are not trying to be themselves but someone else. Thank you for ruining image of your idol in region that Bono did so much for.
  2. Geez, this is sick...yea, I hated them too, but never thought they'd go this far...so has anyone been clearing this up for the people?

    Um, not yet. I managed to get in contact with one of the biggest news portals in Croatia and they changed their article. The rest of them just go with the flow...
  4. Wow, that is sick news. I wish you could spread the word to stop this madness

  5. I tried through some friends that work for the biggest Croatian TV station and they couldn't do anything. It will be on their evening news in half an hour.

    So yeah, I send even more middle fingers to Pavel Sfera.
  6. This Pavel Sfera needs a proper fucking life. Sad bastard.
  7. Can't something be done by principle management about this? Brings a bad name to the band and it's somehow violation of trademark.
  8. I would sue this silly Retard!

    They sure should, this is just too far. They probably have no idea this has even happened.
  10. Damage has been already done. But! Late yesterday 50% of media said that Jeremić was probably fooled and they cited portal that I successfully contacted.

    Today Sanela Jenkins, personal Bono's friend from Sarajevo told media that she personally contacted Bono and that 'he was shocked'. His PR team will make official statement about this incident.

    I think that Bono should sue this guy.

    In a meantime, Vuk Jeremić admitted that he was fooled. Fucker.

    Here's bad translation of article with Sanela Jenkins;

  11. A sue is due (bad pun but..)
  12. Sueing sounds good but I am curious if a lawsuit will fix anything.
