Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
If you didn't think LeBron Bono could become more obnoxious, you were wrong:
So, Bosh parties with Criss Angel, Bron hangs out with Bono backstage. Clearly, we're overdue for a video of Dwyane Wade hangin' with Dane Cook. Or maybe Pat Riley, partying with Satan. ... FAN UP, MIAMI.

So that's what a douche sandwich looks like

Oh.
Bono taking a picture before a concert in Miami with LeBron (somebody who I’m sure can get anywhere he wants to in Miami) makes him obnoxious…how?
I’m sure if he blew off the photo with LeBust then he’d be accused of being too pretentious. Guy can’t win.

Sunglasses inside for starters

I mean
First, the picture was taken before their concert about to go on outdoors. Secondly, since Achtung/ZooTV era (’91), the sunglasses have been his trademark thing. If sunglasses indoors from a rock star equates to being a douchebag, then you hopefully have a new layer of hell invented for Ed Hardy t shirts and legitimately douchy things.

Funny thing about sunglasses is they come off your face, as well as go on. That should solve your first problem. On the second one, that doesn’t make it any less douchy. Lady Gaga’s trademark is dressing like an absolute idiot, that does not make it okay. And lastly, yes, I indeed do. People who wear those and Infliction shirts get auto-tagged as giant DBs.

Ok
At least you’ve got a special auto-tagger for those shirts.
Sunglasses=/= Lady Gaga esque costumes. And even her crap doesn’t bug me since it’s all for show, granted, I think she’s out of her mind, but that’s half the point I guess.
If Bono were out doing coke off some hookers with his sunglasses on, then sure, that’d be pretty douchey, but from nearly all first-hand accounts I’ve read about him he seems like a genuinely nice guy – and was certainly nice to me as well when I met him briefly.
But there’s no point in going back and forth. If you think he’s a douche for wearing sunglasses, then whatever.

While I do think people are douchey for wearing sunglasses indoors and at night, I think Bono has some sort of eye condition that makes him really sensitive to light, so that’s why he wears them all the time.

Yep
That’s one of the reasons – he does have sensitive eyes. I haven’t read about a specific condition, but he mentioned getting red eyes easily and as such likes to wear the shades.
Part of it is still his whole shtick as well too, though.
