AT&T/T-Mobile Merger 'Not In the Public Interest'

jfruhlinger writes "AT&T's plan to merge with T-Mobile just hit a pretty big snag. The FCC declared the merger would be anti-competitive and not in the public interest." According to the NY Times, the FCC seeks to hold a hearing before an administrative law judge in which the burden would be upon AT&T to prove the deal isn't anti-competitive.

T-Mobile has a banging-hot chick in their advertisements. AT&T does not have a banging-hot chick in their advertisements. Banging-hot chicks are clearly in the public interest.

The ads were originally aired in Europe with average-looking women. They just forgot to replace them with average-looking American women when they exported it.

This is Slashdot. It's not like any of you have actually seen a hot chick up close.

Not all of us have the 16:9 tv required to view average looking American women.
