Bono's creative activism

It seems that Evangelicals always have strong feelings about U2. Either they think that U2 is the greatest thing since sliced bread or they think that the band is the spawn of Satan.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see the aftermath from this one. Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, just launched a fashion clothing line called Edun. So what, Doug, every other celebrity has their own clothing line. Who cares? Well, this one is a little bit different. The clothing line is "a marriage of social activism and aesthetic innovation." It is only being made in developing countries and only being made by workers who receive a fair wage.

I have to say, I applaud Bono on this one. This is a very creative way to use the immense resources at his disposal to try to make the world a little bit better. I think it is a great idea, even if I will never be able to afford any of the clothes.
