BlackBerry Commercials = Retarded

Am I the only person who thinks the Blackberry BBM commercials are friggen ridiculous?

Here’s a basic script for one of these things:

[ ♪ banjo twee pop ♫ ]GUY1: ”Yea, blackberry messenger is siiiiiccckkkK! I can totally send messages to my friends… THROUGH MY PHONE!!!”GIRL1: “No matter where they are I send these little messages, like, text messages but they are through BBM, right?  Yea, it’s SOO cool.”GUY2: “I’m pretty fashionable, I mean, I run a fucking art studio, you know?”GIRL1: “OH! OH OH OH OH ! my favorite bit is this… you ready?? It can send pictures!! Yea, kinda like an MMS message, but it’s totally BBM.”GUY2: “Email is lame. You can’t sext through email. I can sext through BBM.”GUY1: “Oh, also, pretty sick… if I’m surfing somewhere, I’ll tell my dudefriends ‘i’m surfing out here’ and they’ll, like, come… but I forget who has blackberries and who doesn’t”GIRL1: “I can tell when you’ve read the message… and then i can be, like, ‘Jessica, you bitch!! You never got back to me. And I know you read my BBM…’”GUY1: “BLLLRrrrriiiieeeeeng!”GIRL1: “beepooooooopeee pee pee!”GUY2: “le chirp.”

Here’s an example:

WTF!? I normally don’t bring the just straight ol' complainin' on the onlines (saving that for the in-person experience), but every time these commercials come on my wife and I just look at each other and balk. Like, “balk! balk! balk!” It’s sort of our thing… #love

Crappy commercials, quite pander-y. But HOW DARE YOU bash on the music. Excellent band out of DC. Le Loup.

Wow. That had everything about hipster pretension that makes me want to fist fight strangers on the street. Leading with “spirituality” was a bold move. They should have led with a drunk dude getting a mustache drawn on his face by his friends BBM’ing the image to everyone they know. At least it would have been funny first.

@alan true, le loup is good stuff… But not this track is lost on me; I can’t hear it without a mind-numbing hippy fervently telling me they don’t believe technology is opposed to spirituality.

@courtney you. are. correct. Lets act this out… I’ll be the drunk dude, you be the BBM.

Also, BBM’ing sounds like a cross between Big Beautiful Women and Bowel Movement acronyms

@andy, I keep getting these texts from GayGayHipHip (40888): “You’ve received a multimedia message. You have 2 hours to access your multimedia message here: http://bbm.gaygayhiphip.com/ajel32%%4/

WTF!? Is this your BBMs?!
