Why does Yahoo! Answers tell us some of the users are the real thing when they aren't?

Like Bono. "This is the real Bono!" He was, and then he wasn't. Some of his questions were serious and others weren't. I don't understand. Did some fake take over afterwards?

    Some users use someone else's picture for their avatar. There were a number of users who chose to use Bono's picture. The main thing to remember is that the celebrities usually only ask one question and they usually never answer any of them. So if you see more than one question under Bono's picture, you will know that only one of those questions came from the real Bono.

    Yeah, some people try to imitate that whole Bono thing. They type that description in themselves. Makes you wonder.
