When James Wolfensohn became the ninth World Bank president in May 2005, it knocked rock star/budding economist Bono Vox out of the running. While some believed Bono would have been a sound choice to serve this important role, we feel he'd be better suited as director of the International Monetary Fund.
What are some of Bono's proposed IMF reforms?
Members must devote two hours of the week to protesting own organization
- USA forced to contribute 108% of GDP to, y'know, "one of them loser countries"
- Before major votes, participants "must confront their God;" barring that, must confront Bono, who is often compared to Jesus
- Whenever the IMF holds a forum abroad, tour must include the word "Zoo" for some f***ing reason
- Debt forgiveness? Shucks, make it debt forgetness
- Take IMF policy out of '80s into bold new "techno" phase
- Statement of Intent to include assertion that international debt
management somehow more effective when wearing fake muscle suits,
crotch-constricting leather pants and idiotic bug-eyed sunglasses
- Raise money for AIDS by selling IMF-branded iPods, preloaded with
recordings from historic Bretton Woods conference and screensavers of
your favorite malnourished African child
- No-strings debt relief? Try six-strings debt relief! Danala-danala-danala-danala dowwwwwwwww nyeeoww...YEEEAH!!!
- No humanitarian deeds may occur without at least three television crews present to witness it
