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.

I don't see these as Lesbian bashing. Lesbians are not that annoying. I guess it could be seen as bashing women but to me it seems to be bsshing teenagers more than anything else. I object to that much of it. But I don't seee the Lesbian bashing?

I'm gonna agree with shakespherical here - I don't see the lesbian bashing - just demeaning women. Especially because all the custumers are men. And THEY talk sense while the women are ditzy and cruel. :/

The pink think has to do with T-Mobile's trademark color, tho. Yes?


Also, a question (maybe you'll know :D). This merger didn't happen yet? And if it will, what will it mean for us in Europe who don't have AT&T at all. JUST T-Mobile. Will it affect our priced as well?
