That's really funny :)
I saw something almost like that on TV late one
night, but it was some sort of collection of greatest
hits of the 80's. They didn't concentrate on U2 a lot
in the infomercial since there were a lot of artists
on the CD set, but it was a bit like that;)
I live in Los Angeles, maybe I could be one of the
paid audience members :p
