Bono Vox reportedly handed over another iPod in the name of diplomacy, this one loaded with music by U2 for Argentina’s President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
U.S. President Barack Obama famously gave the Queen of England with an iPod, loaded with majesty-friendly music like “Dreamgirls” and “The King and I.”
She is said to have thanked him profusely.
He could have at least given her an iPad2 , maybe loaded with the preview of the Spider Man musical.
Best caption for the above photo of their meeting — keep it clean folks! — wins our gratitude for brightening up a Thursday.
UPDATE: You guys are killing us! We’ve been snickering here at the spacious & airy Cult of Mac offices over this all day…Thanks!
UPDATE 2: Seriously, I haven’t laughed out loud this long in ages…Want to do this every day!

Sorry I couldn’t get you an iPad2 or the now discontinued iPod U2 version.
@Nicole, you follow Perez Hilton? That’s like admitting you listen to Justin Bieber. We all have our guilty pleasures (but it might be better for your “street cred” if you kept it on the Down Low).
“Thanks for the iPod, your glasses are ridiculous.”
Busted! I worked as an entertainment reporter for a few years — glad that those sites aren’t the only things I read now — but, yeah, they are still on my radar…
“Amazing – you as so much smugger in person”
(Sigh) It’s all about you, Bono, isn’t it?
Mr. Bono we have so much in common… You are growing fine double chin like myself, we both hold our hands like beggar looking for laundried money handout. And you see photo back there of late great husband, he die trying to rescue magic golden glasses much like you where now.
Thank you Mr. Bono….now, how do I format this?
Excuse me, isnt this a copyright violation and a violation of the DMCA? What about international copyright laws? The record labels actually own the songs, not Bono himself. Shouldn’t he be fined at least $62,500 per song just as Jammie Thomas was in her copyright infringement case with the record labels?
What I really wanted were missiles to shoot down spy planes. Can’t anyone read memo’s? Not U2 the band!
is the ‘it’s friday’ song by jessica black loaded on this puppy?
That’s very sweet but I’m really much more of a Radiohead fan.
President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner explaining to Bono that to say “1-2-3-4” in Spanish he needs to say “uno-dos-tres-quatro” and not “uno-dos-tres-catorce”.
“I didn’t cry for you…but I did count in Spanish…oops, wrong numbers.”
But Bono, I thought you went with the Zune…?
“Actually, I’m more of an REM fan…”
what is this? no angry birds?!?!
From Bono, 2U.
No, U2 actually own and control all the songs themselves.
Bono is thinking: “…this is the last iPod I give away to musically challenged so called presidents”.
CFK is thinking: “my daughter will love this, I couldn’t care less”.
Bono says: “This is for you, Mrs. Kirchner. I hope you like my music.”
CFK says: “Muchas gracias por el Walkman Sr. Bono.”
“Oh. It’s you. I was hoping the Edge would stop by.
“Thanks… Now, how do I Jailbreak this bitch”? Oh, wait WTF…its a Nano…?
“No its a rock group, mam. Here, look….See im a rocksrar”
