Holy fucking FUCK.

This leaves that goddamn "We Built This Starbucks on Heart & Soul" in the dust.

I go die now.

I couldn't make it through the whole thing. Did it end as bad as it "Holy FUCK" ing started?

Jimmy, you MUST go back and listen to THE WHOLE THING.

If you haven't heard the line about Michelle Shepard leading the team in the Northeast, you haven't lived.

I have heard the future - and it makes me want to make with the stabby-stabby to my ears.

Where's Tim Robbins? This is the sequel to Bob Roberts, right?

I met that guy's girlfriend yesterday and while she was only wearing the minimum 13 pieces of flair, she was the top seller of Xtreme Fajitas for the entire month. So, he (or she, I suppose) has that going for him.

The 5 day waiting period for purchasing handguns is just too damn long...

OMFG.

If U2 were dead, they'd be rolling around in their graves. In fact, the only thing that could have saved this would be if young, angry Bono (not old, pansy, let's-save-the-world-and-be-friends-with-Bill-Gates Bono) showed up and kicked their asses.

Wow.
I do like the guy on the left, as the camera pulls back, who is holding his head. We all can relate.
I think peer pressure forced him to stand and clap.

I can only add two things:
A)Notice that he DID NOT HAVE ANY PAPER IN FRONT OF HIM. He learned that whole song by heart!!!! THAT IS INSANE.
B) The standing O is half of the magic of the piece.

a) i hate BOA, as i can personally testify to being a**-raped too many times to count by said BOA

b) if this isn't the third sign of the apocalypse, then by god, nothing is.

I assume those of you who thought this was a must-see have never been a cog in a giant corporation - it was a little too close to home for me, and nothing surprising. Managers at such places actually expect their employees to be as excited about making money for themselves and the company as that guy either is or is pretending to be (I think it's more likely he thought writing the song would make him hipper and get him laid more). If you know anyone who works for our local giant global internet everything store, ask them about the IMDb rap.

This makes me want to rip my own head off.

"One heart, filled with spirit." That's exactly what comes to mind whenever I think of credit cards.

That guy's either the biggest tool I've ever seen, or he's Andy Kaufman reincarnated.

1. "Integration's never had us feeling so good." Hm.

2. Is that a young-ish Lyndon Johnson playing guitar?

3. Could there possibly be a worse hangover medicine than this fucking fuck video?

At least the guy can sing better than Bono.

I wonder if U2 is getting a royalty check from this.

No no no no no, a thousand times no!

I like it a lot better than the original.

In the coming Corporatopia, all entertainment will be like this.

Oh my god, that guy was SO serious! I hope he knows he's freaking people out all over the country now.

Wow, the guy has pipes, indeed. The singing, the guitar, the conversion of the original lyrics, all the technical measures exceptionally good for this kind of corporate tripe.

And a song whose mood could hardly be a worse match for message.

I endured it expecting something redeeming at the end like rotten tomatoes from the audience. Schmader, how could you do this to us?
