I wonder what was in the artist's mind.
The most American thing about his pic is that he's scared to actually write "Bank of America" in case he gets sued
Understandable. He could draw a few flames to hide it instead.
Or he could actually stop being a pussy, actually write it, get sued and draw attention to the problem?
True, but it takes big balls. By doing so, you're provoking a big corporation that has all the resources to destroy your life.
Actually draws back to a reply I got earlier.
In other countries, the corporations wouldn't be able to do this because the people would be behind the artist

Alex Schaefer does write the actual names of the bank in the art, which is fair artistic use and as far as I know he's never been sued for it. Obviously you can't just put the banks names and logos on the back of a shirt and sell it but also, that would be counter to the point of the shirt which is to obviously satirize the names.
