If this were deadpan humor, it would be a classic.

Unfortunately, it is the FCC's report on T-Mobile's nationwide outage last June.

"Now Pinky, we reboot the server for the device authentication system and solve the congestion problem created by our routing table error!"

"Narf! You mean that server we just disconnected from the dedicated fiber line Brain?"

"Yes, now that we have ascertained this is not the source of the error, we can restart the authentication server."

"But Brain! We just disconnected the dedicated fiber line that provides the only remote access to our critical server that we store an hour away."

[Pause] "Well yes, a small miscalculation on my part. We will just use the backup fiber line."

"Troz! You mean the one we never bothered to install because it was too expensive?"

"Yes, that one." [Pause] [Facepalm]

"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

"Poit! I think so Brain. But why would the United States deliberately deregulate its critical communications infrastructure in a way that would guarantee a complete lack of accountability so that a simple software error and a misdiagnosis of the problem could black out the third largest carrier and cut millions of people off from emergency services or even basic communications?"

Grabs Snout! "Stop that Pinky! Remember -- deregulation brings freedom and innovation! We will just have to live with it until tomorrow night."

"Zort. Why Brain! What are we going to do tomorrow night?"

"The same thing we do every night Pinky. Try to take over the web!"

Though their no longer dinky, T-Mo's still Pinky and the Bain, Brain Brain, Brain -- NARF!
