Bono and Oprah confirm iPod nano RED in Chicago

Welp, looks like those iPod nano Reds have been confirmed -- Bono and Oprah (Bonoprah?) congregated to the North Michigan Ave. Chi-town Apple Store to catch this amazing photo op. Hocking AIDS curing portable audio players never looked so fun.

Oh yeah, caption contest! Naw, you can't win anything, but it's not like we can't have a little fun at their expense.

Ryan - "Ms. Winfrey, Mr., um Bono, may I interest you in some iSplitters?"
Pete - "I wish we could afford a second iPod!"
Paul - "Yeah, I'm starting to have second thoughts about Vertigo as well."
Cyrus - Oprah: "Do we really have to listen to all of 'Under a Blood Red Sky' right now?"
Evan - "Sorry, Oprah; even as a book-on-tape, The Uncommon Wisdom of Oprah Winfrey still isn't very compelling"

"oooo, you're right! This bud DOES feel better inside my ear canal!"

[Norm Lieber @ Oct 12th 2006 7:16PM]

Oprah Ummm, so I et these "pro bono" for promoting these?

[Ryan @ Oct 12th 2006 6:37PM]

Oprah: "Does his makeup look better than mine?"

[Chocolate Starfish @ Oct 12th 2006 6:40PM]

"My grandma and my dog 'ol blue
The pope has got it and so do you
C'mon everybody we got quilting to do!"

[Ross @ Oct 12th 2006 6:41PM]

Song: "YMCA"

Bono: "Change the f*****g song!!!!"
Oprah: "Oooooh Touch�"

[Dave95 @ Oct 12th 2006 6:42PM]

Oprah: If this Biaachh don�t step away from my personal space, I will go T.Cruise on her ass!!!

[BlueHiro @ Oct 12th 2006 6:44PM]

I especially like the Apple employees lurking in the background. They were probably told not to speak to Bono or Oprah unless spoken to.

Oh and the bald guy through the window looks like he's tired of waiting "Give me my red iPod NOW"

[number40one @ Oct 12th 2006 6:43PM]

Shorter really-white guy in the background:

"I am SO sticking those earphones in my pants after they leave..."

[tweak @ Oct 12th 2006 6:44PM]

Oprah: "This color makes me hungry."

[kryptn @ Oct 12th 2006 6:44PM]

oprah: "where is he looking? sure isnt my face."

[Chrissy @ Oct 12th 2006 6:45PM]

Oprah: "This song sucks, who is this???"
Bono: "Uhh, that would be U2"

[clp2069 @ Oct 12th 2006 6:47PM]

Oprah: "It's a shame these weren't around back during your Zooropa Tour, when they could have doubled as earplugs."

Bono: "Right. That tour was bleedin' shiite."

[Vizion @ Oct 12th 2006 6:47PM]

Oprah: "How many iPods promotions do you plan on being a part of Bono?"

[JBo @ Oct 12th 2006 6:50PM]

Oprah: "Bono, honey. Who did that dye job?"

[Mike @ Oct 12th 2006 6:51PM]

Oprah: What the hell do you mean by I have to pay 99 cents a song to put music on this thing?!?

[Davis Cyr @ Oct 12th 2006 6:52PM]

Thats so weird. I was in that store just last year. It kinda strange to see world famous celebrities standing in place you were.

[pcbb.david @ Oct 12th 2006 6:54PM]

O: "oh, daaaaaaaaaaaamn"
B: "what?"
O: "i cant believe you sucked me into this, i mean come on, I'm getting NO money for this."

[Matt @ Oct 12th 2006 6:58PM]

My favorite, on the fullsize picture ( http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2006-10/25865863.jpg ) is the Apple employee wearing a t-shirt over top of a dress shirt... classy

[matt @ Oct 12th 2006 6:58PM]

ooo ive stood in that exact same place as oprah are bono are standing!!!!

[Davis Cyr @ Oct 12th 2006 7:06PM]

I know totally!

[Craig @ Oct 12th 2006 7:02PM]

Bonoprah? noo, I call them Opo!

Apple staff: "I SO stuck those earbuds inmy pants before they arrived"

[Vu Nguyen @ Oct 12th 2006 8:12PM]

This isn't really a caption, but am I missing something? That apple store employee looks like a MODEL they just hired for the opening?

[Dull @ Oct 12th 2006 7:13PM]

I cant believe the news today
Oh, I cant close my eyes and make it go away
How long...
How long must we listen to this song?
How long? how long...

cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...

[Dimitrios Alexiou @ Oct 12th 2006 7:17PM]

Apple staff in the background: "I wonder how much we can get on eBay for Oprah and Bonos ear wax."

[Nick Gold @ Oct 12th 2006 7:17PM]

It's too bad these won't be 8GB, as I would probably be pushed into ordering one upon the announcement. I haven't quite gone for the black 8GB (I have a gold 4GB mini now), but I bet I would order one if it were red (which looks nice IMO) and is hopefully maybe making some slight difference for a good cause?

[umijin @ Oct 12th 2006 7:29PM]

Big whoop.

[narco @ Oct 12th 2006 7:27PM]

"Dayymn, Bono. For a white dude, you sure talk about Nelson Mandela a lot."

[rick @ Oct 12th 2006 7:39PM]

Bono : "Why yes Oprah, that is my Audible copy of "A Million Little Pieces" playing.

[Smuv @ Oct 12th 2006 7:45PM]

See, I downloaded this bootleg MP3 of "Vertigo"

[A_B @ Oct 12th 2006 7:50PM]

"Bono, Oprah. Oprah, Bono."

[ben @ Oct 12th 2006 8:07PM]

Sales associate: "Thats right Oprah. And if you push the button with two triangles... NO, the one pointing to Bono. No. NO! JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN THING!"


PS: I am so going to watch oprah tomarrow morning and then go to the gap and the apple store. They better have those tasty lil' bitches in stock!

[airpolgas @ Oct 12th 2006 8:07PM]

The pair would be called "Oh no!"

Caption:

Bono thinking - I don't need to share the earbuds with you. There's another one on the table.

[Permanent4 @ Oct 12th 2006 8:16PM]

The Apple fanboys came up to me
their faces red like this iPod nano
and they started peelin' off them dollar bills
slappin' 'em down
ONE HUNDRED!
TWO HUNDRED!

[copier dude @ Oct 12th 2006 8:20PM]

Oprah: "Well Bono, when you spend as much time promoting yourself as I spend promoting myself you'll get to have gigantic cave woman bags under yours eye just like me!"

[Alex @ Oct 12th 2006 8:56PM]

Oprah: "Why is that woman staring at my chest?"

[Justin @ Oct 12th 2006 9:14PM]

Oprah: "See, I told you my hair colour would look good on you."

[Dave Hunwick @ Oct 12th 2006 9:09PM]

No that is not a model, I have seen her many times working the store

[ElvisLIves @ Oct 12th 2006 9:19PM]

"Hello"
"Hello?"
"Can you hear me Oprah?"
"I'm not so sure about this new iPhone Bono..."

[Warren @ Oct 12th 2006 9:26PM]

Oprah: Do you hear the same song I'm hearing?
Bono: Yeah..
Oprah: Well, whoever sings this cant count! Uno, Dos, Tres...Catorce?
Bono: Fuck you.

[Ryan @ Oct 13th 2006 1:13AM]

Bono: Wait, are you SURE that's red? It's hard to tell witth these glasses on.

[Chris @ Oct 12th 2006 10:02PM]

does Bono remind anyone else of John Goodman's character in the Big Lebowski??

[DJ @ Oct 12th 2006 10:02PM]

Store manager talking very softly to staff in the back ground:

"Do not touch or speak to The Bono or The Oprah unless spoken to first. And if anybody is going to ask for a autographed nano, it'll be me, damnit!"

[AC @ Oct 12th 2006 10:02PM]

Have you seen my U2 ipod? it's MUCH nicer looking and only 80 bucks more...

[Stinky @ Oct 12th 2006 10:41PM]

"That's right... we are both richer than God!"

[Ryan @ Oct 12th 2006 10:49PM]

YOU GET AN iPOD! YOU GET AN iPOD! YOU GET AN iPOD!!!

[rich @ Oct 12th 2006 11:30PM]

Oprah : With your millions and my millions, do we really have to share?
Bono : We're doing the share thing for more millions!

[CLE @ Oct 13th 2006 12:13AM]

I was at that Apple store just the other week....

I wiped a booger off under the counter where Bono and Oprah are standing!!
