Philly Awards Bono with 'Liberty Medal' for Humanitarian Work

humanitarian bono
I am not a big fan of Bono. I think he's pretentious. But he does good things. Of course he also says incredibly simplistic and asinine things like:
When you are a monk in Burma this very week, barred from entering a temple because of your gospel of peace...well then, none of us are truly free
What? What does that even mean?

Celebrities.

I can't knock him too badly however. Bono was awarded $100,000 for his philanthropy and he gave it all to his charity Debt AIDS Trade Africa (DATA).

As a quick aside, "Debt AIDS Trade Africa" doesn't make any sense. None. Its just a bunch of random words strung together to make an acronym.

Celebrities.
