In a shocking turn of events, the FTC has lost their bid to block the acquisition of Facebook parent company, Faceplant. The ruling was unsealed and revealed the unfortunate news. Many are calling it a faceplant for the FTC.
Sources close to the situation claim that the FTC was just too busy looking at cat videos on Facebook to notice the acquisition taking place. “They were too busy laughing at memes to realize what was happening,” says one anonymous insider.
Others speculate that the FTC was just jealous of the success of Faceplant and their ability to make social media look so effortless. “Let’s face it, the FTC just can’t compete with Faceplant’s ability to get people addicted to their platform,” says marketing expert, Jane Doe.
In response to the ruling, Faceplant CEO, John Smith, posted a selfie with the caption “Sorry, not sorry” on the company’s Instagram page. The post received thousands of likes and comments from loyal Faceplant users.
Meanwhile, the FTC is left feeling embarrassed and defeated. They have reportedly hired a social media consultant to help them understand how to properly use Facebook and prevent future faceplants.
Overall, it’s clear that Faceplant has won this battle. The FTC may have lost this time, but they’ll be sure to step up their social media game in the future. Until then, we’ll just sit back and enjoy the memes.
