Countrywide’s reputation is in the toilet, so Bank of America is flushing that name forever. The company will now be called Bank of America Home Loans. But if you need a good scream, you can still watch the old “Countrywide Can” ads on Youtube. I can’t remember a more infuriating campaign, especially in hindsight. Somebody made a very catchy rap song about it. A sample of the lyrics:
No money, no worry, refinance and get cash out in a hurry. Need to refi man.
So if you need to get a loan, you’re not alooone. Pick up the phone. Call Countrywide and welcome home.
Man, I love recession art.
