U2 Rip Off Spinal Tap

Hello,
        Did anyone think that maybe U2 doesn't have some original ideas?
You know the Lemon? Well, Spinal Tap thought of that way before U2 did.
True it wasn't a lemon (it was in fact giant ice cubes that the band come
out of, and Harry Shearer's actually doesn't work!) but Spinal Tap had the
basic idea first. Bono even admitted to it being Spinal Tap's idea first
when he and Larry were on Letterman. "Is it supposed to be a little Spinal
Tapian?" - Dave
           "I hope so!" - Bono

        Let's face it, just because something is used again doesn't mean
that the second person is a rip off artist. Ever think that maybe they
liked the idea and wanted to use it? I'd think I'd be honoured if someone
wanted to use my idea.
Any way I'm done, just my $0.02.
