I mean, just look at it.

edit: For anyone wondering, it's from the first few seconds of HARDY - Sold Out.

One ringtone to rule then all.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That's pretty good!

[-] MudMan@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

I mean, it... does look pretty cool, honestly.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Well, you're not wrong, but if you don't want to look evil it's not the best choice.

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 1 week ago

AT&T crossed the rubicon there a long time ago, they would be better off steering into it like this

Sauron may have failed but he was way better at his job.

[-] Nebula@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

They could put a hand on each side and make it goatse eye of sauron. You know, go all the way. 😅

🫱⚪🫲 at&t

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Because it's a highly notable building in the heart of Nashville known to be called "Music City" leaning more towards country music.

Edit: oops thought you were asking why Hardy used it.

Why would At&t... Not sure, but Sauron did have vast coverage in middle earth.

But it wasn't At&t that built it, they bought the company before them.
When I moved to Tennessee people told me it was the batman building

[-] tophneal@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It is the Batman building. The logo on top of it is irrelevant.

[-] miseducator@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I always heard it called The Batman Building, too.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I lived just outside Nashville for a couple years as a kid. If there are two landmarks I remember, they're the Batman building and the sign for Jack's BBQ

I have one of these in my town. It's a cell tower dead center in the middle of town, and they boxed it up in a building-like facade and put that glowing logo at the top. Massive eye of sauron vibes. It's the tallest thing in the city. At night you can see it for miles.

Considering their penchant for adopting the symbols of evil empires, I expect this to be their next symbol:

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Back in my home town, they built something that was clearly a cell tower, then just ... Essentially glued a few fake pine tree branches to it.

They didn't even bother to make the tower look vaguely trunk-like. It's still matte grey and you can clearly see the antennae attached to the top. When I say "a few fake pine tree branches," I'm not exaggerating; it's been a few years so I don't remember precisely, but it's no more than five throughout the entire height of a cell tower. Mostly clustered together.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Having seen the political side of this: the local city council probably had some asshole NIMBYS that tired to block the tower from being built. Then AT&T showed up to a meeting and said we will build this by right but if you give us a beautification budget we will use it. Then the city council rightly didn’t give a fuck and gave them the bare minimum dollars that made the 5G NIMBYS fuck off and AT&T bought $200 of plastic Christmas tree to glue into the tower.

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Probably the designers off the tower knew about ATT surveillance and pitched the idea to clueless executives in order to remind the public about the all seeing eye of massive telecommunication giants
