Bono: ‘Send Amy Schumer and Chris Rock to fight Islamic State’
Before a Senate subcommittee, one of Bono’s suggestions was to use comedy to fight extremist groups.
“It’s like, you speak violence, you speak their language. But you laugh at them when they are goose-stepping down the street and it takes away their power,” he said.
“So I am suggesting that the Senate send in Amy Schumer and Chris Rock and Sacha Baron Cohen, thank you.”
Sure there is zero chance this will work, but even so the upsides are enormous.

Just shut up and sing. Bono and Springsteen thing because they have a talent that they can then spout off stupid shit. If Bono feels this way, Hells bells load up the boys in the band and go do a concert or two for the goat lovers.
Imagine how much shorter WWII would have been if FDR had sent the Three Stooges against Hitler.
Imagine how much shorter the Great Depression would have been if they hadn't kept reelecting FDR.
Amy Schumer wasn't too amused by his suggestion.

So I like the concept. Except if you plan to defeat them with humor, wouldn't you need to use people that are actually funny? Amy, Chris and Sacha aint funny. Sorry Red Robster, Sarah is a no go too!
But the justice would be SO poetic.
And the comedy so pathetic.
But we wouldn't miss her.
Take every leftist asshole in Hollywood, put them in a barge, and send them all off to wet themselves at the sight of a real Islamic terrorist.
We don't need to send comedians. With John Kerry as SOS, we already send a clown.
Send a plane loaded with Hollywood elite- and if that doesn't work send a second- and equip them with parachutes.
Give them a handful of bacon and leave the parachutes at home......
I propose a compromise... make the parachutes out of bacon!
I like it....
HELL NO!! That would be a waste of good bacon, unless they use those radioactive Japanese wild boars.
We have a deal... radioactive bacon.
Send Sarah Silverman
My basic idea, as well. Let all the SAG-AFTRA peeps take care of the problem exactly as they would if they were the missionaries they envision themselves to be. Been wondering why it's been taking them so long even to organize and strike against their studio owners, but i guess they've been getting paid too well to realize the little people have always been sending them their $1 to $10 donations for every song and movie they make. The other groups which also get off scot-free (oops, is that racist?) are the professional athletes. I mean Dennis Rodman went to Korea. Bruce boycotted NC. Why can't they all do that, all at the same time?
Funny he said comedy and not music, he's not going to stick his neck out there
BOOM! Yes send in the comedians not the musicians or at least all the possible entertainers. That is exactly right. He is not putting himself out there isn't he?
