The Yes Men strike again - this time creating a new Bank of America website that says the bank will become the people’s bank.  “I thought it would be good to get people thinking about what happens when you bail out a bank. I’m presuming that when you bail out a bank, there’s probably a lot of different ways to do it. One way would be just to give it a lot of money. But another way would be to give it that money and say, “Okay, now we own you.” In general, when you pay for things you own them. But, surprisingly, in 2008 we gave them money but gained no control. And they just kept doing the same old shit.” - Andy Bichlbaum, The Yes Men Check out YourBofA.com
