First, there was iTunes...

[sixtoe]

To promote their new album, U2 is appearing in a number of spots for some of the world's biggest advertisers. Where will U2 ply their wares next? Here are some suggestions:

"A Day Without Me" - Charmin Toilet Paper
"40" - Colt 45 Malt Liquor
"Bass Trap" - Rapala Fishing Lures
"Mysterious Ways" - Lay's Potato Chips (with unfortunate lyric modification)
"Even Better Than the Real Thing" - State Farm Life Insurance (expecting something else?)
"Staring at the Sun" - Meade Telescopes (quickly followed by disclaimer)
"God, Pt. 2" - The Mormon Church
"Is That All?" - Viagra

I could go on, but I don't want to steal all the fun. Post your suggestions.

I'll bet Paul McGuinness has been approached with some really sketchy deals over the years. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these joke suggestions have actually been proposed over the years.

Here's your challenge:

"Alex Decends In to Hell for a Bottle of Milk"

To make it more difficult, I'm removing "Got milk" from the equation. No milk commercials.
