Isn't It Ironic - U2 creates a Wall to stop people from watching Free Concert in Berlin?

From : http://new.music.yahoo.com/u2/news/outrage-over-wall-blocking-free-u2-berlin-concert--61995930

Both Berliners and tourists alike saw the irony in building a wall around a concert dedicated to the wall that already has come down.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

The hypocrisy that is Bono.

 

[Ken Morgan]

uummm...its a free concert...why do they need a wall?
Yes I understand the hypocrisy, just wondering what the promoters or whomever were thinking...

 

[Ping898]

Well even the people there said they thought it was MTV versus U2, though given what the band and Bono supposedly stand for they should have probably said something or done something when it was brought to their attention to bring the wall down....

 

[Omar B]

Hilarious. I never understood why people even liked those pompous pricks.

 

[Xue Sheng]

The hypocrisy that is Bono.

You beat me to it

They built the wall they said to help ensure safety... well considering what happened at a WHO concert in Ohio some time back I can see that... so...umm.. couldn't it have been say... a chain link fence?? At least folks on the OUTSIDE can see it ....

I stopped liking U2 music after "The Unforgettable Fire" album... just fell behind and then when I listened to a new album I went WTF is THIS??

So I'll stick with some of the older staples that got the band famous a long time ago.

I get that, but still...it's not great marketing!
