ā€˜We still haven’t found what weā€™re looking for,ā€™ say customers

Half-a-billion iTones customers awoke to a sexy surprise Tuesday morning when the company accidentally auto-distributed provocative images of U2 frontman, Bono, to their devices.

ā€œI woke up, it was really a beautiful day, and I took out my phone, andā€”bamā€”there was a whole gallery of saucy pics of Bono!ā€ said iTones customer, Leah Blog. ā€œTo be honest, the pictures left a lot to be desired,ā€ added Blog. ā€œI donā€™t know what they were trying to do, but I would say that they still havenā€™t found what theyā€™re looking forā€”at least when it comes to seductive Bono pics.ā€

The move is surprising but not unprecedented: earlier this month, U2 auto-distributed copies of their latest album, Songs of Innocence, to the same cohort of customers. While iTones and Bono have yet to release an official explanation for the boudoir-pics release, it seems that some insider must have just assumed that Bono wanted to force his ā€œartā€ onto everyone without their request or permission.

Customer reactions have generally ranged from ambivalent to outraged, with many customers feeling violated at being given sexy images of a celebrity, when theyā€™re used to having to hack them.

ā€œI mean, yeah, sureā€”I definitely spent a lot of time looking for those nudes of Jennifer Lawrenceā€”but when you just give them to me, they lose a lot of that naughty appeal,ā€ explained outraged iTones customer Steve Goodguy.
