What would the fallout have been had Bono from U2's penis popped out of his trousers while they performed their famous, 15-minute version of 'Bad', on live TV in front of millions?
 
Probably much the same as any wardrobe malfunction. Some people would call it shameless, horrible, and obscene, some would call it a ridiculous publicity stunt, some would think it was cool. This being the 80s, I suspect more people would think it was cool, and since it was Britain, there'd be no question of fines or lawsuits, though some managers might feel a bit wobbly.

I also suspect there'd be a good deal of more or less complimentary comparisons, especially if the photo quality is decent.

And folks'd expect a repeat at any U2 concerts to come. Doesn't strike me as their style, though.

OK, you asked for this reply:

He would simply get a condom, demonstrate its use and tell the World:

"Africa can help itself and I am demonstrating how!"

afterwards this concert was sometimes called: Live against Aids
 
Most of live audience would likely never notice anything. TV viewers... depending on camera shot at the particular time. They would certainly swiftly change the shot once they see what should not be seen. Again, most of TV viewers will likely not even notice it unless for some reason camera zooms in on his crotch just as incident happens.

Huge buzz in press afterward of course, with all usual "will someone please think of the children".
 
!I like how this thread is a mix of people who think he has a tiny penis and those who think his penis is so large and powerful that an erection would rip right through his pants by force.

How might the Edge react? Terry Wogan? Phil Collins? bonos is not Gorbachov, he is not Reagan. Personally, I don't think this would be too much of a big deal.
