Love him or hate him (you’ll be able to guess which side of the spectrum I’m on by the end of this post), Bono has some slick style. U2 launched their 360 tour last night in Barcelona and Bono appeared in a jacket affixed with fricken’ laser beams attached while performing the song “Ultra Violet (Light My Way).”

Now, I usually don’t like to get mixed up in politics and I’m certainly not a humanitarian, but how many starving Africans do you think the cost of that Moritz Waldemeyer-designed jacket could feed? Come on, Bono, you fucking tax-dodging Irish hypocrite. Told ya you’d be able to guess. Check out a video after the jump.

Looking to start a revolution similar to that of the backing band from Purple Rain? Excellent. Get ready to drop $2100 on this ridiculous purple iPod Touch. The Prince Opus iPod comes with a 40-minute concert video, 15 live concert tracks, a bunch of photographs of Prince and….well, yeah, that’s about it. Only 950 of these iPods will be produced, making them an instant collector’s item for any Prince fan.

R U READY 2 PARTY WITH PR1NCE? I’d assume so, if U can spend $2100 on an iPod.

I used to have a sweet little fog machine until my roommate lost it. I may consider this Bubble Fogger as a suitable replacement. Instead of just belching out smoke onto your stage a la Spinal Tap, this little fucker burps up bubbles filled with fog that remain perfect spheres until popped. Once popped, the fog will flow into the air creating a ghastly scene. Sounds fantastic for Halloween or an opium den, whichever is closest.
