We were beginning to have doubts about Bono's continued ability to unite people from all walks of life, but then we got wind of an impassioned new internet campaign inspired by the singer's work -- in a sense. Organizers have launched an online petition aimed at getting Bono to retire in order to "stop [his] leading misguided counter-productive philanthropy efforts."Aaron With, the brains behind the effort, goes into extensive detail about the U2 frontman's shortcomings as a force for social change in a screed posted online, where he also solicits donations that he promises will go to charity -- if the sunglass-sporting singer actually hangs up his white flag once and for all. If he soldiers on? We'd imagine the cash could go to buying enough grain alcohol to start a Bono bonfire and fuel one heck of a cocktail party to go along with it.
