So proud of itself for successfully merging with MBNA, Bank of America takes one of the most beautiful U2 songs and changes the lyrics so it's about . . . credit cards. And it's maybe meant to be a joke. But the singer takes himself so seriously, that it's not a joke.

Aug 20, 2008 - to take this song or any copyrighted work and adjust it for some corporate bullshit is an insult and a violation to any artist's work. Bank of America and the pigs who run it will go to hell along with other pigs like FOX News.

snclfe Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Is U2 suing these bastards? I hope so - I mean...they sued Negativeland for what was valid artistic expression. They should definitely go after these corporate douche bag shills aggressively.

Aug 20, 2008 - one more example of our country's move towards socialism....and,oh yeah, less competition doesn't mean higher standards of quality service...it usually means lower standards

Aug 20, 2008 - Ok asshole, what exactly do you think the infrastructure (hope that's not too big of a word for you) of the United States would be without the influx of money from sources such as mob money?

Aug 20, 2008 - Yes Men - from the Bank of Italy to what is to become the "brothers keeper" - helping millons - (complex problem) Most Americans don't understand BOA's "providing power" and employees seem to - this causes discordance between "customer/employed" - my father was shot for collecting a debt for 10 dollars - dont forget that. And too many misguided hackers want to bring this bank to its knees. Loose the Jesus complex- practice good raport - Administer profitable charitity. You can do it.
