Legendary rocker Bono has a plan to defeat ISIS and other extremists which he unveiled during testimony on the refugee crisis in the Senate yesterday. Do you think it will work?
Bono told the Senate to "send in" Amy Schumer, Chris Rock and Sacha Baron Cohen to counter extremists. Laughter takes "away their power"

Sure, why not!
Now, we really don’t think carpet bombing ISIS with Amy Schumer, Chris Rock and Sacha Baron Cohen will work, but we do kind of want to see what happens if Bono were able to convince these 3 to join his cause.
As for Schumer’s reaction to the plan, however, she doesn’t sound quite yet convinced:
Holy shit https://t.co/Hzn4KNloAh

Keep trying, Bono.
