Bono started clapping his hands every ten seconds… He said: “Every time I clap my hands a child dies in Africa.” Someone in the audience yelled: “Then stop doing it!”

What the?! Two spa-slicked people fly their own plane into the “wild,” take out their Vuitton bags and wander off in their ultra-styled clothing, including swooping decolletage for her. Because, as we all know, even insects don’t bother such privileged people. Both look as if they would be on the ground bawling and kicking their legs if even a field mouse ran across their path. The ad was condescending to eco-tourism, insular in regard to every planetary concern, and ignorant — above all, so ignorant. These ad stylists have been in their cubicles so long they can now be classified with that worst of all ad-think labels: passe’.
