Unbelievable. SERIOUSLY.

Look closely at this Bank of America ATM, toward the bottom--and you'll find BofA's new marketing slogan.

Oh no they didn't!
Really? This isn't from the Onion, is it?

It burns... it truly burns... I thought it was just something made up on DU... but no... it really does burn!

3. Photoshopped?
I've seen this pic a week ago here on DU.

19. I don't think it's photoshopped, but it's not a new slogan either.
I believe some creative and talented individuals have been placing BoA's new motto wherever they've been able.

6. Ok, ok...this apparently was the work...
...of someone who is not affiliated with BofA. It's not an official ad or slogan.

*Whew!*

Carry on! :D

7. I don't think it's terribly successful...

From the perspective of either side...

13. I'm the OP, and I was duped...
Someone put this on their FB page.

I was outraged at the gall of BofA--but really the slogan totally captures the
outrageous attitude of B of A--whether it's a legitimate slogan or one that is made up.

It gets attention and it gets people talking.

16. "I was outraged at the gall of BofA"
Exactly.

I wasn't outraged, just shocked, so I immediately tried to verify it online.

It's great.

18. If it's easy to verify that words have been put in someone's mouth

of what value are the words?

8. Apparently, this is the work of OWS...
...and not a Bank of America endorsed slogan. It's easy to believe that BofA did this. I mean, they
inflated the housing bubble, made billions, then tanked the economy and then stole trillions from US
taxpayers after they profited handsomely from their crimes.

It's not so hard to believe that they'd develop an ego-centric, ridiculous ad campaign, now is it?

Here's another image--I like this one even better!
