Sorry if this has already been posted (couldnt see it anywhere)...
but, did anyone enter the "competition" to win the chance to BUY a signed Damien Hirst print in the Independent this weekend?

Its in conjuction with the RED Aids foundation.

not with bono's face plastered on it

I gave it a bash, went for the £500 print. Sent a cheque for a tenner...tis a good cause.

Wonder how many entrants they will get?

I'd imagine that Hirst and Bono are very popular with Independant readers..

i'd pay NOT to have a print by him of thatt**t. i hope bono dies of aids, a man who surely has so much sway in the catholic church and does nothing..........yet 90% of all people who contract aids in africa are practicing catholics. the hypocrisy of both him and his beliefs and the misappropriation of numerous 'world peace' type awards is beyond disgusting.

a few words from that p*ick, or better still to his knobhead mate the pope, and hundreds of thousands of lives would be saved.
unless they really want to keep the status quo??

horrible cunt bono, horrible.

Unfortunately Rupert I don't think a few words from Bono is going to change the Aids situation in Africa, but I agree with you about the catholic church. I don't remember anywhere in the bible that says you cannot wear a condom to prevemt infection. Also, South Africa's president needs to accept the fact that Aids does exist and do more about helping his people.

Well you won't get one from me.

That'll be £200 please.

Dunno...those Independent art offers/competitions are a bit touch and go. During the war in Lebanon, I plumped for a Tracey Emin (don't laugh...money was going to a good cause). It took so long to get TE to sign the prints that the cheque I sent was no longer valid. so I sent another one. they returned that one to me saying that i should send another as it took so long to get the prints signed. so i did...which they then returned to me etc etc. somewhere in the middle of this, I rec'd the print. I phoned them up a few times to tell them I still needed to pay for it but they said i already did.... Weird. Anyway...gave the money to an architect friend who was going out there to help reconstruct buildings and he threw it in the direction of a family who'd lost everything to the mortars.

so be prepared for a bit of a runaround.

anybody seen the southpark episode with bono in it? quite funny

[bert]

Got a letter this morning and have been offered one of these prints...£500 for a run of 300...hmmm, I'm a bit skint, but am also quite tempted.
