Sweetness and light... and some bondage games.

First, some linkspam:

-- R.E.M. vs. U2: Who was the best rock band of the '80s? As annelise13 knows, I'm going with the boys from Athens.

-- Speaking... Using U2's "One" to shill credit cards. This is just... I have no words, just hilarity plus a vague embarrassment at having had a BofA account for eight years. ;)

-- I've never heard of Mean Magazine

Wow, that BofA thing is, uh. I was embarrassed just watching it.

[spectralbovine]

I know! That guy! I mean...I don't understand how nobody laughed at all.

[sdwolfpup]

I know! Unless they, too, were embarrassed. But then wouldn't you at least have nervous giggles?

Damn. I've had a BofA account for about that long, too, and I have another one right now, but...damn. The sincerity there is just...does he not realize that he's singing about banks? Does he actually think he's not being funny? That's so bizarre. I mean, the filk is pretty good, really, but...he's too sincere without being faux sincere.

And hee to the EW music thing.

Thanks for the link to the R.E.M vs. U2 article. I loved both of them back in the day, and must add the 2 R.E.M best of CDs to my Christmas list :-)

REM wins for not having a bloated ego.

And that Bank of America thing? I couldn't even watch the whole thing. It was too painful.
