No Rock And Roll Fun

THEY APPEAR TO BE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY: Have we missed something? Is the current round of recruitment for a head of the World Bank part of a Comic Relief celeb special, in the style of Celebrity Fame Academy? Only Jon Snow, the US Treasury Secretary, seems to be taking Bono's candidacy seriously. Mind you, looking at some of the other mates-and-rich in the running, Bono might be the least worst option after all. Carly Fiorina, dumped head of Hewlett-Packard and the person ultimately responsible for that just rubbish "back to the shed" corporate pissabout a couple of years back, when the company wasted millions on vanity advertising rather than actually selling stuff to people, is apparently seriously being considered, too. We'd love to see that: "we're going to rebrand the developing world - DO, with the 'o' representing the world, and D for developing, yes, but also dynamic, different, diverse and don't-make-a-fuss-if-you-pay-em-in-dirt."
