It's funny because it's exactly the kind of pretentious thing Bono would do, and exactly the way a Scottish person would respond.
I knew I should have posted it in lemmyshitpost instead... SMH
People think this is real? I've been retelling this joke since I first heard it.
I first heard it as a chain email in the mid 2000s, so I know it's real
You can tell it's fake because they called him an evil bastard rather than a radge cunt.
The broad Scottish accent
Mate, it's just one accent. A mono-accent across an entire country. People from Glasgow and Edinburgh sound exactly the same... Can't tell them apart. And if you go to Wick, right at the top, same. It's wild.

My mom's boyfriend's cousin's stepdaughter was there, she saw the whole thing.
Is she the one that works for Nintendo, and saw Luigi in Super Mario 64 but she switched it off before it could save?
She also figured out how to charge an iPhone with an onion and a glass of Gatorade.
it's over 12 Couric!
