Bono and Oprah confirm iPod nano RED in Chicago

Welp, looks like those iPod nano Reds have been confirmed -- Bono and Oprah (Bonoprah?) congregated to the North Michigan Ave. Chi-town Apple Store to catch this amazing photo op. Hocking AIDS curing portable audio players never looked so fun.

Oh yeah, caption contest! Naw, you can't win anything, but it's not like we can't have a little fun at their expense.

Ryan - "Ms. Winfrey, Mr., um Bono, may I interest you in some iSplitters?"
Pete - "I wish we could afford a second iPod!"
Paul - "Yeah, I'm starting to have second thoughts about Vertigo as well."
Cyrus - Oprah: "Do we really have to listen to all of 'Under a Blood Red Sky' right now?"
Evan - "Sorry, Oprah; even as a book-on-tape, The Uncommon Wisdom of Oprah Winfrey still isn't very compelling"

Oprah and Bono demonstrate the most common avenue of AIDS transmission. Along with the new tax, each iPod has been branded in shameful red to remind the world of their role in the AIDS epidimic.

bono:
"Stereo is overrated. Monophonic sound for me."

Interviewer:
But why?

bono:
I'm less inclined to hear the anomalies introduced by the heavily compressed, overpriced Digital Rights Restricted audio files on offer at the iTunes music store this way.

"Monophonic sound for me.
Oprah agrees, right, O?"

Oprah:
"Monoooo is sooooo in. I feel it in my bones. Mono will save the world. I truly believe that. I was speaking to Steadman this morning, and he agreed. He is totally converted his entire CD collection to mono. I was amazed at just how different it sounded!"

Apple store employee:
"Very soon Apple will release the iPod Mono (aka MonoPod (tm)) so two publicity whores won't have to stand around pretending to be impressed listening to one earphone of the the old-style stereo players, but our lips are sealed while we work around the clock to get the Foxconn in China to make the monophones (umm, I mean the designers in California to start manufacturing them in very limited quantities).

bono:
"Stereo is on its way out! 9 out of 10 respondents recently polled said POP sounded better in mono. Who can argue with statistics?"

Oprah: "This song is absolutely awful."
Bono: "Oprah, this is from U2's newest album."

Here's a link to a brand new original song that was inspired by Bono's pioneer relief work in Africa and the Red program.
