Bono was on TV last night for The Children In Need appeal (a kind of telethon).
The sketch had Ricky Gervais (The Office/Extras) in a hut in Kenya talking to an african whose brother had just died of AIDS, and he gave Gervais his only possession, a U2 album which his brother had listened to and gained strength from in his dying days.
Anyways, it transpires that the clip wasn't filmed in Kenya but a London Studio (Gervais "I'm not going to a country where you need injections to get in. This way everyone wins - my face flogs my DVD's and the africans get their money."
Anyways, one by one celebs arrive on the set and seeing the wisdom of Gervais's ways, try and muscle in on the action. Bob Geldoff (who Gervais sprays with deodorant. Gervais "I'm not going to africa and not shower for three days - though that's obviously not a problem for you) and Jamie Oliver, who tries to give the starving african Turkey Twizzlers and Onion Rings (Oliver is famous for leading a healthy-foods-in-schools crusade.)
At the very end the african pulls off a mask and lo and behold it's Bono, obviously using the starving africans as a chance to flog U2 products.
I haven't done it justrice, but it was brilliantly done, and so good to see these guys playing themselves up.
