Verizon is going to learn the hard way that taking two pieces of shit and mashing them together will not magically turn them into a piece of gold, no matter how many billions of dollars they spend on it.

This is a huge fail whale. They missed the lesson from the AOL / Time Warner deal. Believe me, I lived through it. The "synergies" aren't there. They vastly overpaid for both. The thing I think it does say is that they have so much money they don't really care.
