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.

The AT&T/T-mobile merger hasn't occurred yet, but when it does, Europe will fall into AT&T's clutches within 2 years.

If AT&T dumps Nokia Siemens Network as T-Mobile's vendor after the merger, it will weaken NSN enough to give Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent the biggest portion of the European market. There will be less choice, less competition.

PS: Ericsson & Alcatel-Lucent are business partners with AT&T.
