I give them a C grade, good effort and attendance, but just don't have the ability needed to excel. The fact that they've become so famous with such a mediocre product suggests to me that they've been cheating.

I reckon that Bono is an ace computer hacker who hacks into the music chart databases to make it look like everybody's been buying their music.
