Don't Bash Lesbians to Protest the AT&T/T-Mobile Merger

[campylobacter]

My hatred of multinational corporations & monopolistic greed is no secret, and my F-List have endured my rants against AT&T, especially against the inevitable AT&T/T-Mobile merger. I subscribe to several consumer action newsletters, and am upset by the FreePress-sponsored SaveTheInternet.com's recent attempt to raise consumer awareness at the upcoming AT&T monopoly BY BASHING LESBIANS.

I realize that using the "Mean Girls" trope is supposed to be funny, but dammit, I don't want negative portrayals of women in power as much as I dread a single telecommunications company controlling its entire market.

Absolutely I picked you based on your looks. You look at porn, I look a porn. You look at MS, Ilook at...youget the picture. Not to crack the already horrendous metaphor further. And hey, I'm chubby but I ain't ugly. My husband says I'm hot and he doesn't hardly need his glasses at all. :)

Baby, you're beautiful.

I hate it when people say shit like, "She's got a pretty face, for a fat girl." One of my friends in high school had that said of her ALL THE TIME. So much nonsense, so much fail.

Oh yes, love that one. I got it all the time only it usually starts with, "It's too bad you're fat because..."

So illogical, the notion that a beautiful face is "wasted" on a large body. ::headdesk::

Oh, I'm not beautiful. To quote my mom, "Your sister is beaatiful honey, you are merely pretty."

Got baggage? I got me a train full.
