United Breaks Guitars
By Chris Walters, 9:49 AM on Tue Jul 7 2009, 71,856 views

When United Airlines broke Dave Carroll's $3500 Taylor guitar
in the the spring of 2008, he contacted them to ask for
compensation. After all, he and other passengers watched from
the plane as United baggage handlers actually threw his guitar
around on the tarmac. United said they wouldn't pay for the
damages, so Carroll wrote this catchy song about how much
United sucks. We think it should go in United's next ad
campaign.

In case you can't watch the video right now, here are some
sample lyrics:

United, United
You broke my Taylor guitar
United, United
Some big help you are
You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable just admit it
I should have flown with someone else or gone by car
'Cause United breaks guitars

Update 1: United apparently has seen the video (thanks to
Chris!).

Update 2: Now that the "United Breaks Guitars" meme has blown
up across the Internet, Dave Carroll has posted a video
response addressing the airline's belated offer to repay him.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the
light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth
in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is
the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full
of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great
is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.
