We at u2shoppingmall.com and Zooropean have never made a claim to be the
official magazine nor affiliated in any capacity officially.
Anyone that claims different should bring forth proof. I am in contact with
Principle and all matters are fine and we continue to maintain a respectful
and amicable relationship and work through any matter that needs it.

Regarding the infamous Bono shots, we thought them amusing and knowing his
sense of humor we think he would not have minded. We are not as bad as the
original tabloid who ran the shots and we even omitted the more personal and
revealing shots of Ali out of respect. But it makes sense that if you are a
celebrity you might not want to change clothing in public. It is amusing to a
certain extent and I am sure that anyone who has met bono would know that this
is not likely to ruffle his feathers....now the Ali pics are a different
story.

But since a minority are offended, we decided to pull them from the website.
To the small percentage who were offended we apologize, but we still think
they were funny and not too tasteless.

You cannot please everyone all of the time.

For the record: we are NOT official, we are a fan magazine and do not
knowingly sell unlicensed merchandise. Many on here sell bootlegs and
KNOWINGLY defraud the band, we do not. We have never and will never rip off
the band. Anyone who comes to our website and thinks we are offical are
corrected via email and referred to Propaganda.

Hope that clears the air...

Peace, Love, and Lemons,

Chuck Anderson
