​The Wall Street Journal reports that downtown-HQ'd AT&T dropped its suit today against Verizon concerning those "There's a Map for That" ads in which Verizon says AT&T's 3G coverage is, um, lacking. AT&T filed the suit a month ago, claiming in court documents that "the ads mislead consumers into believing that AT&T doesn't offer ANY wireless service in the vast majority of the country." A judge ruled that, no, it's pretty clear Verizon was talking about 3G, sorry, and so AT&T tucked tail -- but not before hiring home-grown Luke Wilson to respond. My wife calls the Bottle Rocket star "Catherine Zeta-Holmes."

From the ads it appears he has been packing on the pounds lately.

@Reagan: If you had AT&T, you wouldn't have that problem.

I like Mr. Wilson for def, but why him to be the clarion call-guy for AT&T? He just looks so puffy and tired these days...

...maybe I too can have a future in hocking services of the same nature! :)
