Quote from: Bank of America
It is even better
Now that we’re the same
Two great companies come together
Now, MBNA is B of A

And it’s one bank
One card
One name that’s known all over the world
One spirit
We get to share it
Leading us all to higher standards

Do you like the Cowboys?
Or your university?
Do you like the Yankees?
Or is NASCAR more your speed?
Well it’s your choice
Your right
To pick a card that shows
Your heart and your pride

We’re one with affinity
And we’ll carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come to meet Bruce Hammonds?
Have you come to meet Leah McGee?
Have you heard about Michelle Shepherd?
She’s leading the team in the northeast?

And we’ve got Bank One on the run
What’s in your wallet? It’s not Capital One
It’s us, so which card are you?
Integration’s never had us feeling so good
And we’ll make lots of money, forever I can sing
About trusting in teamwork and doing the right thing
We’ll live out our core values
While the competition crawls
‘cause they want what we have got
But it’s only here at Bank of America

One bank
One card
One name that’s known all over the world
One heart , filled with spirit
We feel it, we share it

One bank working everyday
To bring higher standards
Higher standards
One
We are one, yeah
We are one
We are one bank

My wife works for Bank of America Corporate, that video has been passed around so much in the last year within the company, there's actually official BoA policy to stop distributing it now.

What's the reasoning behind the moratorium?

Apparently it "wasn't meant to be distributed to the public," and frankly, they're embarrassed.

More likely they didn't know they would be recalibrating the unintentional humor scale after that thing made the rounds. Corporate America is really fuckin dumb.
